Jayson Tatum’s already built a strong NBA résumé, winning a title and being named first-team All-NBA three times through his first seven seasons in the league.
Now, in his eighth season, Tatum will likely be named first-team All-NBA for the fifth straight season in the next few weeks. Sometime after that, it’s possible that the Celtics’ star will hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy for a second straight year as Boston is among the favorites to win the NBA title.
If that scenario plays out, Paul Pierce thinks that Tatum will enter the conversation to be included among the best wing players in NBA history.
