Phoenix Suns star forward Kevin Durant has named Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum to lead the NBA for the next decade or so.
The 35-year-old is often regarded as one of the best shooters of his generation. He was recently quoted in a report where he named Tatum as the player to lead the competition forward because of his consistency.
“I've been in this league a long time now and I know when it's a passing of the guard,” he said. “I know when the young dudes are going to come in and do the same thing the older guys are doing.
“He’s one of those guys that’s likely going to control the league for the next 10, 12 years and be a staple in our game and the history of our game. His consistency all year. Putting up a high number of points.
“Stats matter when it comes to MVP. His team is winning games, most importantly, by a landslide. The record factors into it. He’s had MVP-caliber seasons the last few years, too. So, it’s just a matter of your narrative at this point.”
Tatum has been going through an impressive season where he is contributing 27 points per game which is the seventh-best in the competition. To go with that, he is also contributing 8.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game.
