Former Duke basketball star [autotag]Jayson Tatum[/autotag] continues to run the college basketball world in 2024.
Netflix announced the “Starting 5” documentary on Wednesday, an NBA story chronicling the 2023-24 season. The series will focus on Tatum and four other players, including LeBron James, Jimmy Butler, Anthony Edwards, and Domantas Sabonis.
Tatum and the Boston Celtics won the NBA Finals in June, the Blue Devils’ first career championship and the franchise’s first title since 2008. After averaging 26.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game through the regular season, Tatum made his third consecutive All-NBA First Team squad, and he led Boston in points, rebounds, and assists throughout the playoffs.
Tatum then went to Paris with Team USA and won gold at the 2024 Olympic Games, his second consecutive Olympic gold.
He’s now the first Blue Devil with two Olympic gold medals, the first with multiple All-NBA First Team nominations, and one of eight Duke basketball alums with an NBA title.
