Jayson Tatum is a top-10 player in the NBA. The Boston Celtics star is an elite offensive talent with a high-level level-defensive skillset. During his young career, Tatum has made two All-NBA first teams, an All-NBA third team, and is a four-time All-Star. Even at 25 years of age, Tatum is among the greatest Celtics players. However, the St. Louis native is still some way from being considered a legend.
During a recent interview with Jeff Goodman of The Messenger, Tatum discussed his desire to be on the Celtics MT. Rushmore. In order for the Celtics star wing to be spoken of in the same breath as Bill Russell and Larry Bird, he will need to win championships.
During a recent episode of the “Green With Envy” podcast, hosts Adam Taylor and Will Weir discussed what Tatum needs to do if he truly wants to be seen as an all-time Celtics legend.
The hosts came to the agreement that one ring would allow Tatum to enter the conversation, but two, three, or four would see his name immortalized within franchise history.
