”Might Be the MVP This Year”: Celtics Legend Predicts Jayson Tatum’s Stellar Performance Will Earn Him the Title of ‘Best Player’

Kevin Garnett, the legendary Boston Celtics player, has expressed his admiration for Jayson Tatum and believes that Tatum’s exceptional performance this season may lead to him being named the Most Valuable Player (MVP). Garnett, who spoke highly of the Celtics’ recent acquisitions of Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, commended the team’s strong start, with a current record of 7-2, and stated his belief that Tatum possesses the star quality necessary to compete for the prestigious MVP award. Garnett shared these thoughts during an interview on ‘Ticket & The TrutҺ’.

Garnett remarked, “He is in that talks. Jayson Tatum, he might be the MVP this year. He is going to be in that conversation because he has that star ‘it’ too. You know the Luka [Doncic], you know what I’m saying? He is one of the ones that has got that ‘it’.”

While Garnett’s statement may contain some biased sentiment, it may not be far from reality. Despite being only 25 years old, Tatum has consistently performed at an MVP-caliber level in the past two seasons. With the Celtics’ strong start to the current season, it becomes increasingly difficult to overlook Tatum’s contributions and potential claim to the MVP title.

Garnett also praised the overall strength of the Boston Celtics team and how they have impressed him. He specifically mentioned the skillset of Kristaps Porzingis, the presence of Jrue Holiday, and the contributions of Derrick White. Garnett highlighted their ability to distribute and score the ball, which opens up opportunities for players like Jaylen Brown and Tatum.

As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Jayson Tatum to see if he can live up to the high expectations set by Garnett and potentially secure the coveted MVP accolade.
