Jayson Tatum added another impressive feat to his legacy with the Boston Celtics on Saturday night.

In the second quarter against the Brooklyn Nets, Tatum drove to the paint and spun inside, taking the ball up strong and finishing through contact. He drew a foul on the play, and the ensuing and-one free throw got him over the hump.

Tatum is the youngest player in Celtics history to reach 10,000 points, and is the 10th youngest in NBA history to accomplish it. He’s also the first NBA player ever to score 10,000 points and make 1,000 threes before turning 26 years old.
