Former NBA champion apologizes to Celtics superstar for not including him in more conversations | Sporting News

Former NBA champion turned analyst Kendrick Perkins apologized to Boston Celtics superstar forward Jayson Tatum after his performance in the Celtics win against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

He thinks that Tatums name should be mentioned more in debates and awards talks.

Jayson Tatum...

I apologize.

We should mention your name more often when it comes down to the three letters of MVP.

We talk about everybody else, but we dont talk about this man who constantly night in and night out is flirting with 30 point triple-doubles.

Tatum has recently been projected as the frontrunner for MVP as well , after his performance against Cleveland, where he dropped 33 points, 12 rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and six threes.

Perkins went on to explain why Tatum was left out of so many MVP talks over his career.

We take away from him for the simple fact of the talent around him, but the way that hes been taking over games, we know that hes a walking bucket.

Tatum will continue his MVP campaign with the Celtics against the Washington Wizards on November 22nd, at 7pm EST.
