Tatum has led the Celtics to an incredible turnaround this season. They had a tough start but quickly found their form and became one of the best teams in the East. For Tatum's performance, the outside world has given a high degree of recognition.
Recently, Celtic star Tatum participated in the dream-chasing podcast show. On the show, Dream Chasing sets a new goal for Tatum – the regular season MVP!
"Next season, your goal should be 'I'm 100% the regular season MVP.'" You should be the MVP of the NBA... A lot of people don't realize how young you are. You've just celebrated your 24th birthday and you've been in the league for 5 seasons. You've always been at a high level. If you don't get an MVP next year, you're too weak. ”
Tatum is one of the NBA's best players, averaging 20.9 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3 assists per game in four seasons with the Green Army, shooting 45 percent from the field. This season, those numbers are 27 points, eight rebounds and 4.3 assists, respectively.
Tatum and Embiid also work with trainer Drew Hanlon. One day Tatum called Drew, who was staying with Embiid. Before Tatum hung up, he asked Drew to turn the phone on speakerphone. Tatum said, 'Embiid, you'd better take the MVP this season because next season it's mine.' ”
Tatum, who is only 24 years old, is still very young and has a lot to prove in the NBA world. As the heart of the Celtics, Tatum is tasked with ushering in the next great era for Boston basketball. Fortunately, he seems to be very well equipped for the task.
