Reactions to who should receive the award are flooding in, and Celtics fans appear to be as divided as the media.

Michael Gallagher: “I think Tatum should have won, but Jaylen was excellent. Massive passes, rebounds, and defensive plays all came in succession. There are a few dubious voting records here, though.

Jonathan Von Tobel: “It’s unbelievable how close it was.” Tatum’s argument was weak. Voting for Tatum shows how indolent these voters are.
