Michael Jordan and Jayson Tatum had the opportunity to spend time together at a Jordan Brand event in Paris, France. Jordan is seen playfully embracing Tatum in the video, which was released on the brand’s social media accounts. Other NBA players associated with the Jordan brand were also present during the occasion.

Tatum joined Jordan Brand in July of 2019. In April 2023, he debuted his first sneaker with the company, the Jordan Tatum 1. Zion Williamson, Luka Doncic, and Russell Westbrook are also members of the Jordan family. Zion and Luka were also there at the event and may be seen in the video at various points.

Jayson Tatum is one of the favorites to win the regular-season MVP award.

The last time the Boston Celtics had an NBA MVP winner was Larry Bird in 1985-1986. Bird went on to finish third in 1986-87 and second in 1987-88 voting.

Kevin Garnett finished third in 2007-2008, the next time a Boston player finished in the top three.

Jayson Tatum is one of the players anticipated to compete for the MVP award this season. He has been a contender since 2022, when he finished sixth, and again last season, when he finished fourth.

Tatum was also named to the All-NBA First Team the previous two seasons. Last season, he also averaged 30.1 points per game, 8.8 rebounds, and 4.6 assists.

On the Lowe Post podcast, ESPN NBA gurus Zach Lowe and Kevin Pelton recently announced their MVP picks, and unsurprisingly, both picked Tatum as their choice.

“Jayson Tatum is my pick.” “I believe it will be a two-man race, well, not a two-man race because all of these guys will be in it, but it will come down to Tatum and Jokic,” Zach Lowe predicted.

If the Celtics finish as the top seed in the league or the Eastern Conference, and Jayson Tatum continues to put up the same statistics he did last season, he should be a strong candidate to earn the MVP award.
