Five-time NBA All-Star Jayson Tatum was drafted third overall by the Boston Celtics in the 2017 NBA Draft. The Duke alumni is the most valuable player for the Boston Celtics and has been the reason for the team's deep postseason runs in recent seasons. Last season, Tatum, alongside his co-star Jaylen Brown, helped the team finish at the top and clinch the 18th NBA Title for the Boston Celtics. He averaged 26.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 4.9 assists on 47.1% shooting, including 37.6% from deep.
In his young NBA career, Tatum has accomplished what many players dream of. The forward has been named an All-Star six times, has made All-Star First Team selections three times, and was also the MVP of the 2023 All-Star Game. Additionally, he has also donned the USA's National Team jersey multiple times, including the 2020 Tokyo Olympics games and the 2024 Paris Olympics games, where the team snagged the Gold medals. Off the court, Tatum has a fair share of endorsements with Gatorade, Jordan shoe brand, subway, NBA 2K, and Ruffles.
