Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics was recently asked who his pick is for the five most skilled NBA players. Considering the number of talented players in the league, that was bound to be hard.
The four-time All-Star's list included himself, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Paul George, and Devin Booker when he spoke to Complex Sports.
Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors and Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks were noticeably missing from the list. And on cue, some fans unsurprisingly reacted to the 25-year-old's selection. The name of Ja Morant was even floated by a fan on the IG post.

However, most who have followed Tatum are aware Curry and the Warriors foiled the Celtics of potentially winning their 18th title in the 2022 NBA finals. Regardless, it was Tatum's opinion, SI.com reported.
Celtics favored to win the NBA title this 2023-24 season
Tatum and the Celtics are one of the favorites to win it all this season. The annual General Manager survey showed one-third of the GMs who responded seeing Boston running away with the Larry O'Brien trophy, Boston.com reported.
The NBA survey also showed over 54% of the general managers see the Celtics winning the Eastern Conference title. It may be a bit surprising since most are raving about the Milwaukee Bucks - especially after the Damian Lillard trade.
