We sometimes forget it, but Jayson Tatum just turned 26. Present in a competitive team since the start of his career, the winger already has great experience in the NBA. And inevitably, it raises very high expectations.
In recent years, the native of Saint-Louis has often attracted criticism regarding the Celtics’ eliminations in the Playoffs. But for his part, the Los Angeles Lakers winger LeBron James don’t understand this situation.
During his podcast with JJ Redickthe King wanted to make an important reminder.
“He’s 25 years old (26 in reality, editor’s note), and I think he’s played in the Eastern Conference Finals 4 times. Obviously, he’s played in the NBA Finals only once. But he’s 25 years (sic). I didn’t win my first title until I was 28.
I believe it’s 27 years for Nikola Jokic and 28 also for Michael Jordan. We have high expectations for JT, but he has won a lot in his career so far. Of course, everyone wants to see him take a step forward.
But 4 appearances in the Conference Finals and 1 appearance in the NBA Finals before the age of 26 is worthy of the elite.” judged LeBron James.
Jayson Tatum was very quickly very strong in a team built for the NBA title. And at such a level, people sometimes forgot that he had “only” played 6 seasons in the league. It’s up to him to take advantage of the years to come to live up to expectations.
Jayson Tatum, the most reliable and anti-load management NBA star?
