Stephen A. Smith and Michael Wilbon discuss on ESPN's NBA Counntdown whether people have put too mcuh pressure on Jayson Tatum to lead the Celtics to a championship this year. I'd argue that the 26 year old Tatum is in the prime of his career and it would be a slight on him if people didn't expect him to lead the Celtics to a championship. Tatum views himself as one of the top players in the NBA. I'm sure he expects to lead the Celtics to a title.
Now if the question is do fans and the media go way too hard on a player when they come up short of a title?
