Jayson Tatum buried his head in his hands as the confetti rained down above him.
After seven seasons in Boston, the Celtics star finally achieved basketball immortality — cementing himself as one of the greatest players in franchise history by helping his team secure a record-setting 18th championship.
The 26-year-old forward was doubled over with emotion as the weight of that sought-after title finally lifted off his shoulders. That relief quickly gave way to joy for Tatum, especially when he realized his son, Deuce, was stapled to his hip.
In a shot that will inevitably be immortalized in Celtics history, Tatum hoisted his son amid the deluge of confetti — embracing him on the parquet floor in front of nearly 20,000 fans.
