Jayson Tatum is on a path to becoming one of the Boston Celtics‘ all-time greats.
Chasing Celtics History:
Tatum, hailing from St. Louis, has already made a name for himself as one of the top players in the NBA. As he enters the 2024-25 season as a champion, he’s building a resume that could land him in the Hall of Fame. His dream? To be counted among Celtics legends like Larry Bird and Bill Russell. Achieving this means continuing to win championships and likely spending his prime years with Boston.
Staying Loyal to Boston:
In an interview with Marc J. Spears from Andscape, Tatum expressed his deep connection to Boston, saying he “can’t imagine” leaving behind the relationships he’s built there. He cherishes bonds with everyone from coaches to fans and even ball boys who do their laundry. “I admire and love the relationships I’ve built,” he shared, emphasizing how special it is to be part of such a sports-loving city.
“The relationships I’ve built over the last seven, eight years, I can’t imagine starting over and leaving them or this place,” #Celtics forward @jaytatum0 to @andscape

Fans feel it’s heartwarming that Tatum wants to stay where he feels at home.
Future Looks Bright for Celtics:
The future seems promising for Tatum and the Celtics. With Brad Stevens securing long-term deals for key players, they are set up for success in upcoming seasons. Tatum will continue leading as their main playmaker and scorer. If he keeps this up alongside Jaylen Brown, they might even see statues erected in their honor someday outside TD Garden!
For now, though, fans can rest easy knowing their star player is committed to staying put and striving for more glory with the team that watched him grow from rookie sensation into potential legend status.
