Luke Kornet: The Celtics’ Sneaky MVP?…
When you think of Celtics superstars, does Luke Kornet pop to mind? Nah, me neither. Fans are all about Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, a duo as iconic as peanut butter and jelly. But when it comes to underrated players, science just pulled a fast one on us. A math whiz named Owen Phillips from The F5 has crunched the digits, focusing on those secret sauce metrics that are beyond the average fan’s understanding. He compared these numbers with how often people Google these players, and voilà—Luke Kornet emerges from the shadows!
Kornet isn’t your typical highlight-machine—he’s not throwing down dunks with the regularity of a hungry basketball god. The man just does the little things, like setting pristine screens and making heads-up plays. Yet, you’ll never see his name trending because, really, who makes a GIF out of perfect foot placement? He’s a traditional big man whose true value shows up when you scrutinize those advanced stats (or check behind the couch cushions).
This season might be Kornet’s swan song with the Celtics, given his impending free agency. As NBA teams desperately seek solid big fellas, our Luke might cash in elsewhere. So, Boston fans, grab some popcorn and enjoy the Kornet Kontest: the league’s top-rated goof-per-minute player might soon be making arenas elsewhere erupt in muted applause.
