The NBA overflows with top-tier talent, so much so that even elite players like Jayson Tatum sometimes get lost in the shuffle. Nick Young, for one, believes the Boston Celtics star deserves more respect.
Tatum is obviously one of the top players in the NBA. He’s leading the Boston Celtics to the first seed in the Eastern Conference and putting up MVP-caliber numbers, averaging 27.3 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game on shooting 47.6% from the field.
Despite his stellar season, Tatum isn’t ranked as high as players like Nikola Jokic on many people’s lists. This confuses former NBA player Nick Young, who recently questioned why that is.
“I’ve never seen someone get so disrespected in my life. How do y’all keep putting the Joker and all these other people over him?”
