Bostonnnnnnnnnnn❤
The next great Celtic!
Tatum eating gianis alive😂😅😂😅😂
He is just too inconsistent Tatum has the ability to be best player in the league too much inconsistency he will never be unless he becomes more consistent
Best player in the league making the game look easy
I can feel jayson Tatum coming inside of me
He’s the league leader in total points🤷🏾♂️
Sixers preferred Fultz in the draft; dismissed Tatum.
Sixers watching Tatum shine for the Celtics: 🥺🥺🥺🥺🤬🤬😩😩
The worst thing is that we all know he can do this but hes so inconsistent
Its #JAYSON 🍀 #TATUM ….❕❕😱✨
Just don’t sleep on Jaylen Brown people yes Tatum had 10 more points but about 15 came from up 30+ Jaylen is the true star of the team and dropped 17 odd in the first quarter
They have a chance if the play like this.
I’m glad jb and Jt destroyed them on that ugly ass ncaa looking court
What if they keep doing this 💀
GIANNIS didnt guard him he just stands near the rim to get rebounds…
Still doubt about his superstar status ?
Stop playing with him!
It's spelled Jayson Tatum, it's read as legend⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Same as Christmas. If there is a team the East who can go toe to toe with the Celtics I don't know who could go the distance in a series.
Ngl Tatum and a lavine duo would be smooth n quick
HIMOTHY. Haters saying he foesnt perform against good teams lmao watch actual games u morons
Tatum has dropped 3 40 balls on the bucks in their last 4 games against each other💀💀💀💀OWNER OF MILWAUKEE
JT be cooking the Bucks yo Lol!!
👏👏👏
Are you even gonna guard the fucking 3 Jesus
Tatum is officially an athletic 3&D guy. His game used to be SO smooth his first few years. Now, he’s just a stiff bulky robot who can’t get by the defender such a shame the Celtics turned a pure scorer into this.
He needs to play like that in the finals tho
When KD retires I’m on the JT wagon always liked bro since he played for Duke
The Boston Celtics will be the 2023 NBA Champions
Good for him but I think he shoulda let Serena's spouse give the flowers.He has a babe already.so many rank and file women would enjoyed getting that gesture as well
I think this is the year for Celtics if they don’t win who knows what will happen next year especially with JB. So right now I want the JB & JT duo to win it all
