That Jayson Tatum is one of the great young stars of the NBA is a secret sometimes. Also that he lives a present at the level of true legends of the league like LeBron James, Stephen Curry or Kevin Durant.
However, for a historic former Boston Celtics player, Tatum is more than a reality. He is even the best American of the moment.
“Right now the best American in the NBA is Jayson Tatum,” says Paul Pierce in the podcast of another legend of this sport and his former Celtics teammate, Kevin Garnett. “I think he has surpassed LeBron James and Kevin Durant. Maybe the only one who could be in that conversation is Steph (Curry), but Tatum gives more than just points,” the Hall of Famer continues.
Curiously, one of the objectives of the current icon of the Bostonian entity is to emulate the feat of Pierce, who together with Garnett and Ray Allen gave the team that wears green the last ring in its illustrious history; in a now distant 2008.

So far, Tatum has attended the NBA All-Star Game in the last four editions, in addition to guiding the Celtics to the league finals in 2022, where they fell precisely against Curry’s Golden State Warriors.
Therefore, the former Duke University player needs to win a championship and in a stellar way to finish placing himself on par with King James, “Chef” and KD.
