With the all-star brake in the rearview mirror, Boston is ready to resume his journey towards increasing the Cultics banner 18.
No player can help the team meet the target that is more than Jason Tatam. The 25 -year -old wing has been a force throughout the season, continuing to add to his resume to fight for his first NBA MVP award.
Caltix coach who was not ashamed to go behind Tatam as the MVP of the league before Boston’s tip-off against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night, credited the five-time all-star to have a full package.
“Yes,” Mazulla replied when asked if the Tatum MVP should be more in the conversation. “I think what the meaning of ‘most valuable’ is – it’s not just about scoring – it is the ability to sustainable success, to improve people around you, and the ability to be great.”
Tatam has influenced all aspects of the game, with 27.1 points on a career-high 47.5 percent shooting. In 8.6 rebounds per game-just 0.2 away from hai-2017 number 3 pick made up after playing for a long time, besides stealing per game. He is also making more opportunities for his peers, providing a career-hai 4.8 assistance per game.
The “most valuable” can be defined by “permanent success”, about Mazulla’s talk – no MVP candidate is better than Tatam on this front as he has missed only three games this season. Providing himself has been an important part of Boston’s success, making him the NBA-Best 43–12 record.
“They have done it for a long time,” Mazulla added to Tatam’s ability to be great. “I think he is less judged in that conversation and this is something that I think he is doing a big job of doing the best work, what does it mean to be the best player – he does this every night and he does it differently. You have to really have to see the games to understand how they have an impact on themselves and your peers. [more in the MVP conversation],
There is no lack of late confidence in Tatam. In an interview with ESPN’s Malika Andrews recently, the Duke product nominated himself when asked who was the best player in the league, a year ago, Gianis was changing with Antatoconampo’s reply. what changed? Had to face adverseness and challenges.
“I am very confident because I know how hard I work, I know how much I put in this game,” Tatam said why he believes that he is best. “I know how badly I want to be the best, how badly I want to win.”
Tatam and Celtics will look back to re -start their great season with a win at Chicago as they take to the bulls on Thursday night before going to New York on Saturday.
