Jayson Tatum missed the 23-24 Eastern Conference MVP, and fans who watched the live broadcast knew that Tatum lost his expression management when it was announced that Jaylen Brown was the MVP of the Eastern Conference finals.

He first lowered his head to avoid the camera and then arranged his hat to hide his embarrassment, and dozens of seconds later, Tatum smiled again and patted Jaylen Brown's hat, it was obvious that Tatum had a lot of complaints about losing the MVP of the Eastern Conference finals.

Just look at the basic data, Brown averaged 29.8+5+2 breaks per game, and Tatum averaged 30.3+10.3+6.3 per game, how could it be Tatum? But the MVP of the East Finals also depends on efficiency and on-court performance, Brown has three games to save the team at the last moment, Tatum repeatedly hit iron + mistakes at critical moments, and the two have a world of difference in their control of the game.

Tatum averaged 43.9 points per game (first on the team), 23.8 shots per game (first on the team), and 9 three-pointers per game (first on the team), while Tatum shot 46.3% from the field and 30.6% from three-point range.

Tatum was the first on the team in 11.5 minutes in the final quarter, averaging 7.3 points per game and the first on the team, with a shooting rate of 37.5% and a three-point shooting rate of 23.1%, while Brown averaged 6.5 points in 9.1 minutes per game in the final quarter, with a shooting rate of 44.4% and a 50% shooting rate in the sauna.

Of course, we shouldn't take away from Tatum's achievements, he set a number of records to help Green Kai reach the finals:

1. In the playoffs, the scores, assists, and rebounds were the first in the team to enter the finals, and the fifth person in history;

2. 20+ away wins in 8 consecutive playoff games, comparable to Big Dream, James, and Jordan;

3. Before the age of 27, he scored 2600 points in the playoffs to surpass James, second only to Kobe;

4. Tatum/Brown teamed up for the fifth-most titles in 102 playoff games;

5. Winning a series with an average of 30+ per game for the first time;

6. Two consecutive games of 25+10+8 in the divisional finals, the first after Harden and James;

Tatum also has the curse of the 2022 Finals in front of him, when he averaged 21.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 7 assists and 3.8 turnovers in a six-game series against the Warriors, shooting 36.7% from the field and 45.5% from three-point range.
