Despite a lackluster stretch of shooting throughout Game 1 against the Cavaliers, Jayson Tatum earned his stripes amongst Basketball’s elite Tuesday night.
While he was just 36.8 percent from the field, the Celtics star became the third NBA player to score more than 2,300 points, grab 750 rebounds, and dish 450 assists through his first 100 playoff games.
At just 26-years-old, Tatum joined LeBron James and Celtics legend Larry Bird as one of the most productive postseason players of all time.
Still, Tatum is searching for his first championship. He’s come close several times throughout his seven years in Boston – making it to the conference finals four times and the NBA Finals once – but ultimately has struggled to secure banner 18.
