Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown just won the NBA championship with the Celtics, but the media won't apologize for what they did these entire playoffs.
Despite questioning who’s the best player, despite saying the Celtics can’t win shooting that many 3s, despite picking the Mavericks, the Celtics stayed focused and had a plan.
Now I’m recording this as the Celtics are winning thinking how did so many people get it so wrong.
The NBA Finals doesn’t just change legacies, it changes what other teams will look to model after and the Celtics won the championship by completely rewriting the narrative of what a great team is. *And no it’s not just the analytics.*
Reporters, analysts, the average fan are used to a different model. A superstar duo, or a big 3.
That’s what we’ve seen for the past decade. MVP Curry, LeBron, Curry and Durant, MVP Giannis, MVP Jokic, and close to MVP Kawhi.
So even though the Celtics had 5th highest victory margin in NBA history, even though the Celtics had the best offense in history, there was doubt. And doubt is natural, but it was for the wrong reasons. It’s why Nick Wright’s last comment was the narrative.
So it boils down to the players. I didn’t make this video to just celebrate the Celtics, congratulations to them by the way. No I wanted to look at how we evaluate teams and why we need to change it. Specifically what the media refuses to talk about **and I got the receipts**, so let’s start with a look beyond the numbers for a second.
The Celtics have several players who are capable of being the best player in any given moment, but there’s a difference between the most talented and effectively the best.
