Why Boston Celtics fans must stop falling in love with Jayson Tatum’s stats

Related Topics: Jayson Tatum, Boston Celtics

Jayson Tatum is having a decent postseason, but most Boston Celtics fans would say he has been great. The fans would say this because Tatum has averaged 28.1 points, 10.5 rebounds, and five assists per game with a 51-point performance in Game 7 against the Philadelphia 76ers. The key point that those fans are missing is that stats are not the only thing that matters. There is more to evaluating greatness than just statistics.

The reason I say this is because the Cs currently trail 3-1 to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, and Tatum’s poor play in the fourth quarter has helped cause this.
