The Boston Celtics' season is over, which means it's time for another long offseason of Jayson Tatum vs. Jaylen Brown debates.
Brown added some fuel to the fire by putting the Celtics on his back in Tatum's absence this year, carrying them to 56 wins and the two seed in the Eastern Conference. Brown also has a better postseason resume with an Eastern Conference Finals MVP and NBA Finals MVP under his belt.
However, the advanced stats are clear that Tatum is a better player than Brown and has a more positive impact on Boston than Brown. Per plus/minus, the Celtics are at their best with Tatum and no Brown, and at their worst with Brown and no Tatum.
Tatum is also younger and a better player in general.
However, that didn't stop Alan Hahn from making an absurd claim about which superstar Boston should keep on Thursday's episode of "Get Up."
