Draymond Green made remarks on Tatum's NBA MVP debate

Draymond Green's remarks regarding Jayson Tatum's NBA MVP candidacy have sparked a compelling debate within the basketball community. He spoke on the latest episode of his Podcast, The Draymond Green Show. Over there, Green pointed out that Tatum, despite being the standout player on the NBA's leading team and consistently delivering exceptional performances, surprisingly finds himself outside the top three in most MVP rankings.

He said:

"The Celtics are 7.5 games ahead of the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. Do people think the Celtics are that great to where Jayson Tatum is only in fifth (in the race)? Sometimes it's like, that team is winning and that guy is the best player and playing well. In this situation, clearly that's not the goalpost."

Green further added:

"Clearly the goalposts have shifted dramatically, because in this guy's case, he's fifth? And (his team) has a 7.5-game lead in the conference? The goalposts have moved on Jayson Tatum. I know what JT has to do. JT will not be taken seriously for MVP until he wins a championship, and it just hasn't been that way for everybody else, I must say."

His observation that Tatum's MVP chances appear contingent on winning a championship resonates with the historical patterns of MVP voting.
