A friend who is a very casual sports fan sent me a text the other day that said “Who are the Celtics this year?”
I looked at that text for a little while and thought about how I should answer it.
Should I talk about how Jayson Tatum has become a legitimate star at the age of 21? How Tatum is one of only four players in NBA history to record at least 3,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 150 made three-pointers before turning 22? How the other three players are Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Kevin Durant?
