Ace Bailey on player comparisons: “Big 3. KD (Kevin Durant), Paul George and Jayson Tatum. George and Tatum, their creation for them to get their shot off is unbelievable. I see myself doing the same thing. KD in the mid post with one, two dribbles, or less is straight buckets.” pic.x.com/WPnzKWJ9oG – 1:34 PM

Brunson: “I feel for (Tatum), it’s an unfortunate situation for a player like him. The league needs Jayson Tatum. What he’s been able to do in his career is incredible … he still has a long time to make an impact … you see a player like that go down, it’s not good.” – 11:01 AM

What’s on the line for Jokic this postseason?
Given what’s happened with Giannis/Luka/Tatum & SGA’s performance, his place as “Best Player Alive” isn’t in question.
It’s more about this: How high can he rise if he carries this team to a title? He’s already Top 20 All Time, but pic.x.com/W1AQkJFJpL – 7:26 PM
