Is this not Tatum’s 8th season? Did he not get drafted to a team that went to the ECF the year before?
I know Bird basically turned that Celtics team around once he got there, but what was Jordan expected to do with those Bulls teams he was on?
Jordan was All NBA 1st team 4/6 years, and that’s because he was 2nd team as a rookie and he missed most of his second season.
The age argument is dumb anyway because a lot of players from the past stayed in college at least three years.
