On the latest episode of the Big 3 NBA Podcast, Sherrod Blakely welcomes Clutch Points’ Josue Pavon to talk Celtics, NBA storylines, and the league’s biggest narratives.
They start by discussing Jayson Tatum’s impact, questioning why—despite his elite stats, clean image, and respect from peers—he doesn’t get the same “league love” as other stars in the face-of-the-NBA conversation. With fans making his jersey No. 3 in sales and players consistently ranking him among the best, should Tatum be getting more recognition?
The conversation shifts to Cleveland emerging as a real threat, how the Eastern Conference looks like a two-team race, and the battle brewing in the Western Conference playoffs. They also dive into OKC and Chet Holmgren’s durability, plus an intriguing Luka-LeBron debate to close out the show.
