Damn, Tatum has 29 in 111 games (26.1%), while MJ had 26 in 37 games (70.2%). Or to put it another way, if MJ had played the same amount of games Tatum has and kept the same rate of 30 point performances (obviously not a given, but just for the sake of the hypothetical), he would have 78.
Not subbed to stathead so can't see the full info... but I'm willing to be that he took the least amount of shot attempts for those 30 point games than anyone else in the top 5
Bro this victimization complex is so annoying. Why can't people understand that Tatum can be critizied for his awful scoring in the first 2 games while acknowledging he was a good playmaker and defender. That doesntmean he's a bad player. He's a superstar and will be held to superstar standards
Curry. KD. Embiid. Harden
If you don't show up every. single. night, especially in the playoffs you gotta expect to get called out.
>except maybe Lebron
And GTFO. MaYbE LeBrOn??? The dude that's been expected to win the finals every year since he was 18... Yea, maybe him too
everyone knows tatum is a great player and also their best player. the narrative here is he’s just severely underperforming in these finals and thats not wrong
and if u think those are serious rational people, then idk what to tell u. there's a difference between comments with a couple upvotes right after a loss and comments with hundreds of upvotes.
You and I are on the same page with that.
I think I just eventually get so mad reading the endless people saying he actually straight up sucks that I gotta defend my guy lol
Jordan in his 3 first playoff appearances took 20 FGA per game, then he went up to 32!! per game and then 28 per game.
LeBron took 24, 20 and 21 in comparison. Jordan averaged 25 FGA per game in his playoff career, and LeBron averaged 21. Then of course there's the pace difference and the fact that it was just different eras.
Yes he got 31. It looked bad because he kind of went cold in the clutch. He did very good in the 1st half though and kept them in the game. Kind of like Luka game 2 and today. Did most of his scoring in the first half
I mean total counting stats will always rely on having more opportunities. It's very impressive but that context still matters. And also criticizing his efficiency in the finals doesn't really have anything to do with this. Like what?
I didn’t. Tatum and the Celtics did.
3-0 fuck every single person who thought the Mavs could do shit. It’s okay tho, everyone will just say the Mavs suck
Jordan with only 26 is surprising
He only played 37 play games in that timespan tbf
That is the part that makes all of MJ’s stats so much crazier lol

He was in college for three years, everyone above him except West came into the league 2-3 years sooner.
That guy was trash, so it's not surprising to me. /s
He only played 37 playoff games in that time. He only advanced out of the first round twice
Why didn't he advance out of the first round every year? Is he stupid?
Not really. Players entered the league late back then and Bulls werent a deep playoff team to start his career.
Long college career, bad team early on
Jayson Tatum is on the cusp of winning an NBA championship.
Surely Tobias Harris has one as well
No sir
Holy fuck he has 7 years to break lebrons record.
Tatum is 19?
Only
Wow. Impressed by KD. Generational.
Not subbed to stathead so can't see the full info... but I'm willing to be that he took the least amount of shot attempts for those 30 point games than anyone else in the top 5
Definitely. 2nd best scorer of all time behind Jordan.
No doubt
But he ain’t even that good. Check some of the other threads about him after his performance tonight🙄

Idk I've seen upvoted comments comparing him to Tobias Harris
and if u think those are serious rational people, then idk what to tell u. there's a difference between comments with a couple upvotes right after a loss and comments with hundreds of upvotes.
I’ve seen him be called the “Michael Jordan of Tobias Harris’s”
You and I are on the same page with that. I think I just eventually get so mad reading the endless people saying he actually straight up sucks that I gotta defend my guy lol
Celtics best player is Jaylen Brown. If Jaylen doesn't win FMVP I'll consider it a robbery.
Severely underperforming would be if more than 1 thing was bad. It's his shooting and everything else is elite.
LeBron only took 92 games to get his 40
Jordan only took 37 to get his 26
Jordan in his 3 first playoff appearances took 20 FGA per game, then he went up to 32!! per game and then 28 per game. LeBron took 24, 20 and 21 in comparison.

Did Tatum have 30 tonight? Good for him honestly. I swear he manages to make his good games look like his bad games sometimes.
Yes he got 31. It looked bad because he kind of went cold in the clutch. He did very good in the 1st half though and kept them in the game. Kind of like Luka game 2 and today. Did most of his scoring in the first half
Oh yeah no disrespect to Tatum, he just has some super low key 30 pt nights
Brown took over in the second half so yeah.
He manages to make his bad games look like good games sometimes too. Perfectly #6 guy.
But HISH EFFISHENCY GUYSH. Get fucked r/nba

I’m not reading that, nerd
Smartest Celtics fan
you showed them alright...

Luka and Tatum not in top 3 is actually surprising considering how inflated scoring is nowadays compared to previous eras.
