Jayson Tatum is a dynamic NBA superstar known for his scoring versatility, smooth footwork, and elite shot-making ability. Drafted third overall by the Boston Celtics in 2017, he quickly emerged as a cornerstone for the franchise. Standing 6’8″ with a polished offensive game, Tatum can score at all three levels—knocking down threes, pulling up from midrange, and finishing at the rim. Over the years, he’s evolved into a complete player, improving his playmaking, defense, and leadership. Tatum has been selected to multiple All-Star games and earned All-NBA honors, solidifying his status among the league’s elite. He played a pivotal role in leading the Celtics to its 2024 NBA Championship.
During the 2025 NBA playoffs, Jayson Tatum suffered a torn achilles tendon. The injury occurred during game 4 of the semifinals series against the New York Knicks.
Jayson Tatum is rapidly rising up the Boston Celtics records books. Tatum is not only one of the most prolific scorers in Celtics history, but he will likely go down as one of the best in NBA history. His 23.6 points per game is second best in Celtics history, behind only Larry Bird (24.3 ppg). Tatum shines under the biggest lights, however, and his 24.3 points per game across 121 playoff games is best in Boston history (Bird is second with 23.8 ppg).
