Is superstar Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum the best player in the NBA right now? Helming one of the best teams in the league and being a key part of the team’s blistering, historic offense, the St. Louis native has shown he can be a high-impact defender on the other end of the court in the early going of the 2022-23 season.
It may have started with the team’s contest with the Detroit Pistons. That night, the short-handed Celtics won simply through the will of Tatum not to lose the game.
Since then, the former Duke standout has taken the league by storm, vaulting into a legitimate MVP candidate.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what the hosts of the CLNS Media “Garden Report” podcast had to say about Tatum’s ascent to elite territory this season.
