I watched all the games and I saw a player that looked scared or at least reluctant to go the basket and every time the ball was in his hands in important situations he settled for a 15 foot jumper that he was hitting 20-30% of the time or he kicked it out for Smart to brick a 3. And on the other side of the ball you had Wiggins who continually was going to basket and getting hammered by Time Lord and Horford and he kept doing it even though he wasn't getting calls half the time.

Best player on team in Championship, responsible for 45% of teams points throughout the postseason, that won 2 games and was close in others, with a historic lack of bench help, cannot be best player on championship team? If you've watched Tatum the past 5 years, you know this series was incredibly atypical and possibly due to significant injury. I'll bet on the kid who's improved every year and had similar numbers to LeBron in his first Finals. The narrative won't change until it does, which is fine.
