For much of the early part of the NBA’s 2022-23 season, star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum looked every bit the part of the front-runner for the league’s 2023 Most Valuable Player award.

“Tatum has to go into this year coming up and be like, this is my MVP year, this is my year,” said Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe during a recent guest appearance on the CLNS Media “Celtics Beat” podcast.
