Most people believe that Joel Embiid will win MVP this season. He is enjoying an incredible season and has been a force on both ends for the Philadelphia 76ers. For the 76ers right now, Joel Embiid is averaging 29.9 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game in addition to serving as the team’s outstanding rim defender.

Jayson Tatum is another player who has been brought up in MVP discussions lately. Tatum has been instrumental in helping the Boston Celtics turn around their season. Speaking on a Bill Simmons podcast episode, Chris Mannix disclosed that Jayson Tatum had advised Joel Embiid to win the MVP this year since he would be winning it next season.

He is employed by Drew Hanlen. Joel Embiid also collaborates with a skills coach named Drew Hanlen. One day, he called Drew without realizing that Drew was with Embiid. He forced Drew to put the phone on speakerphone before hanging up, telling Embiid, “You better win MVP this year, because it’s mine next year.”

Right now, his confidence is unmatched. Without a doubt, Jayson Tatum has the potential to be the MVP in the future. He can grab buckets from wherever on the court, making him an excellent scorer. Jayson Tatum’s current stats are 27.1 PPG, 8.1 RPG, and 4.3 APG. Tatum has a bright future ahead of him; Celtics star Paul Pierce once said that Tatum might end up being the team’s all-time greatest player.

The Philadelphia 76ers may play the Boston Celtics in the postseason. A series with the potential to go all seven games would be exciting for fans to watch if Jayson Tatum and Joel Embiid faced off.
