This is Jayson Tatum's chance to cement his superstar transformation

Three players in the history of the NBA have recorded 25 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists in a Game 7 before the age of 25: Jerry West, Kobe Bryant and, as of last week, Jayson Tatum. The first guy is immortalized as the league logo, the second became one of the most revered basketball icons of the 21st century and the third is a 22-year-old leading a decorated franchise into the conference finals on Tuesday night (6:30 p.m. ET, ESPN).

The Boston Celtics are back in contention, and Tatum's play is a big reason why.
