Celtis star Jayson Tatum is not just chasing personal milestones; he’s striving for immortality within the storied franchise.
“I would love to be on the Mount Rushmore of Celtics,” the 25-year-old power forward said, referencing legends such as Larry Bird, Bill Russell, and Paul Pierce, per Jeff Goodman of The Messenger.
These icons left an indelible mark on the franchise, and Tatum aims to follow in their footsteps. To achieve this lofty goal, he understands the importance of winning championships.
Last season, Tatum showcased his prowess by averaging 30.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 4.6 assists in just under 37 minutes per game.
With each season, he inches closer to etching his name alongside Boston’s all-time greats, working tirelessly to secure his legacy as an all-time Celtic great and a champion.
