Jayson Tatum has compiled quite the resume over his seven seasons in the NBA.

The 26-year-old forward has already earned five All-Star nods and two All-NBA First Team honors, and remains in the conversation for league MVP this season as the top player on a 54-14 Celtics roster.

Beyond his own individual achievements, Tatum’s arrival in Boston has also ushered in a new era of contention for the storied NBA franchise.

The Celtics have made the playoffs every season since Tatum was drafted third overall in the 2017 NBA Draft — advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals four times and to the NBA Finals in 2022.
