The Boston Celtics’ star Jayson Tatum claimed the first-ever NBA Eastern Conference Finals MVP in 2022. However, he has yet to secure an NBA Finals MVP in his career. While Tatum helped lead the Celtics to a championship last season, his teammate Jaylen Brown earned the Finals MVP honors.

This has become a focal point for criticism, particularly from former NBA player Brandon Jennings. Jennings recently labeled Tatum as the “softest player in Celtics history” for not securing a Finals MVP.

During a Lakers-Spurs watch party on the Gil’s Arena Playback stream, a framed Jayson Tatum jersey hanging on the wall of streamer Legend Of Winning became the topic of conversation. Jennings seized the moment to reiterate his disdain for Tatum, insisting that the jersey should not be displayed until Tatum wins a Finals MVP.

“You need to take down that #0 jersey ‘til he gets a Final MVP. Go put that in a closet,” Jennings said.

NBA fans, however, were quick to come to Tatum’s defense. Many questioned Jennings’ authority to critique Tatum’s career. They pointed out that Jennings never achieved significant accolades during his time in the league to criticize Tatum this way.

Brandon Jennings Questions Jayson Tatum’s Place Among Celtics Greats

On the recent episode of the Gil’s Arena podcast, Brandon Jennings also shared his thoughts on the all-time top five Boston Celtics players. Unsurprisingly, Jennings excluded Jayson Tatum from his list.

“We got Bill Russell, we got Paul Pierce, we got Kevin McHale, we got Larry Bird, and we got fu**** Kevin Garnett,” Jennings said.

Tatum did not remain quiet about Jennings’ earlier comment and answered his criticism in a post-game press conference and on social media. Fans are now waiting to see if Tatum will address this latest comment. Whether through words or actions on the court, Tatum has an opportunity to silence his critics.
