Jayson Tatum says he aspires to have his name in the same conversation as these NBA greats

Jayson Tatum is only 26 years old, but there isn’t much he hasn’t accomplished since entering the NBA in 2017.

The Celtics star is an NBA champion, six-time All-Star, four-time All-NBA selection, an Eastern Conference Finals MVP (2022-23), and is easily one of the faces of the league. Tatum has received MVP votes in four out of the last five seasons, which is perhaps the final major achievement he has on his radar.

Coming off his 15-11-10 triple-double in Boston’s 124-104 win against the 76ers Thursday, Tatum was asked what motivates him following last year’s title victory.
