The 2022 NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics are at a pivotal point. Game 6 could very well be the decisive game of the series as the Warriors currently hold a 3-2 lead in the finals.
This would mean the Celtics, who were considered to be the heavy favorites to win the series, will have to go home without the glorious Larry O'Brien trophy. Considering the Celtics' superstars are still young, they will still have a chance at running it back in the near future.
However, what's surprising is the fact that Jayson Tatum seems to be struggling in the finals. Tatum has been the best player for the Celtics throughout the postseason, but it seems like the finals are too big of a stage for him, at least for now.
After the Game 5 defeat, Tatum now has the most turnovers by a player in a single postseason in NBA history. A huge credit for it goes to Andrew Wiggins, who has done an incredible job of defending JT so far in the finals.
Moreover, he had one of the best games of his career in Game 5 of the series to help the Warriors be in a comfortable position in the finals.
Speaking of Tatum and Wiggins, recently an old tween by the former has resurfaced on the internet. The tweet dates back to 2012 and features something that Tatum must regret writing at the time.
"Jabari Parker is better the Andrew Wiggins."
Although Tatum was just 14 years old at the time, he must still be regretting that decision to tweet about Wiggins.
As we know, Wiggins has definitely been a better player than Jabari Parker over the course of their respective careers. In fact, the former first overall pick is now just one win away from winning his first-ever NBA Championship.
