BOSTON — Jayson Tatum boomed on LeBron James in last year’s N.B.A. playoffs. You may remember it. Tatum, the 21-year-old swingman for the Boston Celtics, certainly does.
The dunk drew a “wow” from the play-by-play broadcaster Mike Breen. A reporter wrote on Twitter that in the locker room afterward, he overheard James saying that Tatum had “boomed” him, before James repeated four times, “He’s so good.”
“I’ve got a big-ass picture of it in my house,” Tatum said in a post-practice interview on Tuesday.
The dunk came in the fourth quarter of Game 7 of last year’s Eastern Conference finals.
