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.
