00:00Brown's career better than Tatum if he wins MVP.
00:06What's the argument against that?
00:10Sometimes there's just bridesmaids and sometimes there's just brides.
00:15Sometimes you just don't get married.
00:17Get them catch that bouquet.
00:19The argument against it would be that when the two are playing at the same time,
00:22who's the better player on a consistent basis?
00:23And I think the vast majority of people would say that that's Jason Tatum
00:27based on the all-NBA awards.
00:30I would say based on the evaluation of most people in the NBA,
00:35Jason Tatum is the better player.
00:38And if you're saying that he's going to win MVP this year,
00:41that's not taking anything away from Jalen Brown,
00:42but I would also say that the opportunity there where you have a team built
00:46around you is something that Jason Tatum has not had during his career.
00:51Wait, what?
00:53Jason Tatum every moment of the last has been the best player,
00:58but you can't say over the last two years, the team been about him.
01:01He's the centerpiece.
01:02He's always been the centerpiece.
01:04He's the vocal point, but it's not,
01:05it's not like it is right now with Jalen Brown.
01:07Do you think so?
01:08You're not playing with another all-offensive player.
01:10You're playing with a player.
01:12So you're saying that because Jalen Brown is on the floor with Jason Tatum,
01:17he couldn't win an MVP?
01:18Is that what you're trying?
01:19No, I'm not saying he couldn't,
01:20but I also think that you're highlighted by the success that you're having
01:23right now without that guy.
01:24So if you flip the two right now,
01:25if Jason Tatum was in Jalen Brown's role and you had the same record.
01:31Are you saying that if Jalen Brown was doing what he's doing right now in
01:35season and Tatum was still playing,
01:36that Jalen Brown could not have a shot at MVP?
01:38I don't think it's the same conversation.
01:39So you think it's highlighted by the fact that Tatum's not on the floor?
01:42Yes, 100%.
01:43All right.
01:43I mean, it's a fair argument.
01:44I'm just telling you that the resume though is the resume.
01:47And so, yeah, I, of course I would tell you, Jason Tatum is the better player.
01:52Of course, I'm telling you that again, no injury history and they're both healthy.
01:56You're building a team.
01:57Your first pick is going to Tatum, not Brown.
02:01But damn finals MVP was Tatum better in that series.
02:06Hard case to make MVP of a season.
02:10Well, Tatum's never done that, although he might get that opportunity in a future season.
02:14We'll see where it goes.
02:16I don't know.
02:17The resume is, is pretty damn good.
