Jayson Tatum certainly has a lot of fans in Boston, but one of the city’s former top athletes claims he’s the biggest among them. He also has high hopes for the 25-year-old forward.
Red Sox icon David Ortiz shared his appreciation for Tatum when asked by NBC Sports Boston’s John Tomase how the Celtics star’s life might change in the city if he wins a title.
“I might be his No. 1 fan out of all of Boston. I love Jayson,” Ortiz said of Tatum. “In fact, yesterday, I signed a jersey for him.”
After showing his love for Tatum, Ortiz began to express confidence that he’ll eventually lead the Celtics to Banner 18, and likely more.
