A while back, someone asked Boston Celtics player Jayson Tatum to name the five best NBA players. That was going to be tough because there are so many good players in the league.

When he talked to Complex Sports, the four-time All-Star named himself, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Paul George, and Devin Booker as on his team.

Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors and Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks were not on the list, which was easy to see. As expected, some fans had something to say about the 25-year-old’s choice. On the IG post, a fan even brought up the name Ja Morant.

Making the right list must have been hard, as you can tell from the way he spoke in the video posted by Balls Don’t Lie on Twitter.But most people who follow Tatum know that Curry and the Warriors stopped the Celtics from winning their 18th title in the 2022 NBA playoffs. SI.com stated that it was Tatum’s opinion no matter what.

Most people think the Celtics will win the NBA title in 2023–24.

It’s likely that Tatum and the Celtics will win the whole thing this season. Boston.com reported that one-third of the general managers who answered the annual poll thought Boston would win the Larry O’Brien trophy.

The NBA poll also found that more than 54% of general managers think the Celtics will win the Eastern Conference. Most people are crazy about the Milwaukee Bucks, especially since they traded for Damian Lillard, so this may come as a surprise.
