Paul George picks Jayson Tatum as MVP

In the midst of a hotly contested MVP race, where it seems as though Denver's Nikola Jokic is on track for his third straight win, current LA Clipper and 8x All Star Paul George makes his case for Jayson Tatum to be the frontrunner for the award. Despite the Celtics' inconsistent play after the All Star break, Tatum does still have a chance to become the first Celtic to win MVP since Larry Bird in the 85-86 season. Jayson is 15 games away from being the first Celtic EVER to average over 30 points in a game, with the closest being Bird once again, who averaged 29.
