There has been a lot of talk about who the next American-born NBA superstar is going to be. There hasn’t been an American-born MVP since the 2017-18 season when James Harden won it.<\/p>\n
The Boston Celtics haven’t had a player win the MVP since Larry Bird all the way back in 1985-86. It has been quite a drought for the franchise when it comes to a player capturing the ultimate individual award.<\/p>\n
Former NBA All-Star Chris Bosh believes that both MVP droughts could end soon. He believes that Jayson Tatum has a shot to be the next American-born MVP.<\/p>\n
