Jayson Tatum weighs in on the ‘face of the NBA’ debate

Last week, after the Celtics thrashed the 76ers in Philadelphia, Jayson Tatum told reporters that he eventually wants the next generation to think of him the same way LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant are viewed now.

Tatum, who has a championship, six All-Star appearances, and a supermax contract extension under his belt before he turns 27 next week, has already accomplished a lot and appears to be putting himself in position to chase some of the all-time greats.

However, in a recent Washington Post interview, Tatum was asked if he feels appreciated for what he has accomplished, and he said no.
