If he finished the series against the Nets with an average of 30.6 points, Jayson Tatum has especially impressed in the last three innings, turning at 40.7 points per game with 48% success in shooting!
He even stuck 50 points in Boston’s only victory, Game 3, then 40 units in the next game. All against Kevin Durant, who was struck by the level of his opponent while he has seen others since the start of his career.
“I have been in the league for 13-14 years, and I started to prioritize the matchups and the players I faced”, tells the MVP 2014 in a podcast. “I’ve had playoffs against Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Tim Duncan, the Grizzlies. Jayson Tatum is one of those names. He is already part of the elite, at 23 years old. ”
The Boston All-Star, still young but with already four seasons in the legs, has just finished the best year of his career with 26.4 points average and he is starting to truly establish himself as one of the most fluid and dangerous forwards in the world. the league.
“It’s hard to face him on a series whole “, pursues the former Thunder and Warriors. “We don’t want to give him award-winning baskets because he can get hot quickly. He’s so strong on his dribble. He dribbles five or six times, feigns and hesitates. And since he has long arms, he can conclude above the big ones. It was an honor to play against him. I hate that we are in the same conference, because we will find him year after year. ”
