How are you making a finals MVP pick with just one game played?
Is Jayson Tatum really THAT much better than Jaylen Brown?

Tatum ceiling is obviously higher but Brown is more consistent game to game in these offs. Brown gotta tighten that handle to go the next level
I just don't agree with this sentiment. Brown has elite athleticism which allows him to do more. Tatum has length but you can see him get stuck offensively when the guy guarding him is quicker and Tatum can't get around him. Brown has the first step and the leaping ability to get any shot he wants. I will say that from what I've seen since they've joined the C's what really separates them is that Tatum has the mentality that the ball has to touch his hands on every posession while Jaylen often times disappears.

Jaylen's had some moments of loose handles during these playoffs but dudes overeacting like he can't dribble
he's one of those dudes that have good iso juke moves but their overall ball handling/ball protection while dribbling is trash.

Yeah, I mean he's only in the NBA Finals at age 24 in a run where he beat KD/Kyrie, Giannis, and Butler
This doesn't dispute what I and others are speaking on. Dude has had some stinkers. Also, they were the healthier team in each series. He's laid some stinkers with that fact.

Nonsense. Smart/Horford/Timelord have all missed games and Timelord still isn't 100%. He's an All-NBA elite defender when healthy. Smart was DPOY and missed games. Horford missed time too.
injuries are a part of the game. Last year the Celts entered the playoffs with no Jaylen Brown.

Tatum is not regularly more efficient (by a slight margin)
Jaylen career TS%: 56.9%. In the playoffs: 58.1% This year he's at 57.4% and 58.9% in the playoffs.
Jayson has a TS% of 57.1 for his career and 56.8% in the playoffs. This year, he's at 57.8% and 57.5% in the playoffs.
Brown has been more efficient in the playoffs while Tatum has been down ever so slightly / maintained his regular season performance.
Since 2020, when they've both been 20+ point scorers, Tatum has a TS% of 57.4% and 57.1% in the playoffs. Jaylen has a 58.1 TS% and in the playoffs it's 58.8%.
The fourth quarter scoring (13 more points than Curry) is more impressive when you consider that Brown, Curry, Tatum, and Doncic all have 72 FGA. Jimmy Butler, who is 6th in 4th quarter points, had 75 FGA.

Jaylen seems more consistent. He has weird handles as in theyre actually great but sometimes he just loses the ball. Dunno if he’s just going too fast. He’s improved in like….every area as we go on in his career, so am expecting him to figure out what’s going on and tighten that up. His midrange been looking real reliable as well. I see them being about equal but Tatum does seems to have higher highs.
Regardless, hope they play their whole career together. People tryna split them up and put them against each other. Who cares. They can take turns being 1a or 1b throughout the years.

Nah I wouldn’t say clearly… but Tatum has been playing different since he hurt his shoulder in the least series. And I believe that’s why he’s being more of a playmaker and bricking
