It's often said that an NBA great's career is not complete until he wins a final's MVP award. [View all]

That's what's being said about Celtics star Jayson Tatum since his teammate Jaylen Brown won the MVP.

I dunno, Tatum finally won a championship, and other NBA greats like Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Bob Lanier, Bob McAdoo, Pistol Pete and others never even won a championship.

That was said too about Steff Curry until he won the MVP when the GS Warriors won the championship in 2022 against Tatum's Celtics. I contend though that Curry should've won a co-MVP with Kevin Durant as his stats for the championship were comparable to Durant's.

The voters gave it to Durant though. I think it should've been shared.

Opinions, fans
