Jayson Tatum becomes the fourth basketball player ever to do these three things in a year

Jayson Tatum’s win at the 2024 Olympics made him the fourth player ever with an All-NBA First Team, an NBA title, and a gold medal in one year.

[autotag]Jayson Tatum[/autotag] didn’t just make Duke history with his second consecutive gold medal on Saturday. He also made basketball history.

Tatum became the fourth men’s basketball player of all time with an All-NBA First Team nomination, an NBA title, and an Olympic gold medal in one calendar year.

As with any other feat in basketball history, LeBron James and Michael Jordan did it first. Jordan actually managed the trifecta twice, first doing it in 1992 before matching himself in 1996. Scottie Pippen, his Chicago Bulls teammate, matched him in the latter year.

James, who did it in 2012, was previously the only player to accomplish the feat this century.

Tatum scored two points and snagged three rebounds in the championship game, a 98-87 victory over the hosting French team. He also tallied his first Olympic double-double against Puerto Rico earlier in the bracket, and he averaged 5.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game across his four appearances for Team USA.

Duke could sweep the Olympic gold medals in the basketball competitions on Sunday if former Blue Devil [autotag]Chelsea Gray[/autotag] and the U.S. women’s team defeat France in the women’s gold medal game.

Was San Antonio Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama an All-NBA Team snub?

Are we being prejudiced against younger players winning such an honor in the NBA of today?

Star San Antonio Spurs forward Victor Wembanyama set a lot of records in his rookie season in the NBA. Among many, the fact that he not only won the league’s 2024 Rookie of the Year award but also made All-Defensive First Team to boot as the first rookie and youngest player ever to do so is worthy of mention.

But there are some league analysts wondering openly if Wemby not making an All-NBA team was actually a snub for the French big man. Would it be too much to say that it was, or are we just being prejudiced against younger players winning such an honor in the NBA of today?

The host of the “Locked On Spurs” podcast, Jeff Garcia, took some time on a recent episode to talk with the host of the “Alamo City Sportscast’s Joe Garcia on a recent episode.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say.

Warriors’ Steph Curry named to 2023-24 All-NBA third team

After recently being named the Clutch Player of the Year, the accolades are continuing to stack up for Steph Curry.

After recently being named the Clutch Player of the Year at the start of the offseason, the accolades and honors continue to stack up for Steph Curry with the 2023-34 season in the books.

On Wednesday, the association revealed the All-NBA teams for the 2023-24 season, and the Golden State Warriors point guard was one of the players listed.

Curry was named to the 2023-24 All-NBA third team alongside Phoenix’s Devin Booker, Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton, Los Angeles’ LeBron James and Sacramento’s Domantas Sabonis.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander named to 2023-24 All-NBA First Team

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander named to 2023-24 All-NBA First Team.

The NBA announced its All-NBA Teams on Wednesday and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was named to the All-NBA First Team. The other members include Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Jayson Tatum and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

This was expected as Gilgeous-Alexander finished second in MVP voting this season. The 25-year-old has a career season where he headlined the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder.

Gilgeous-Alexander and Jokic were the only players to receive unanimous votes for the All-NBA First Team with 99 first-place votes, garnering 495 total points.

In 75 games, Gilgeous-Alexander averaged 30.1 points on 53.5% shooting, 6.2 assists and 5.5 rebounds. He shot 35.3% shooting on 3.6 attempts. He led the league in steals at two per game.

This was the cherry on top for Gilgeous-Alexander’s ascension into one of the best players over the last two seasons. He’s had back-to-back top-five MVP finishes and two straight All-NBA First Team honors.

Considering he’s locked under his current deal with no opt-outs until 2027, it’s fair to say the Thunder will roster one of the best players in the league during their prime for the foreseeable future.

The three All-NBA teams can be read below:

Will Jaylen Brown make an All-NBA team again this season?

Since the 2024 NBA All-Star break, star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown has been on an absolute tear.

Since the 2024 NBA All-Star break, star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown has been on an absolute tear, playing like one of the league’s best players on both ends of the court. Will Brown make an All-NBA team again this season? The Georgia native has since scored 20 points or more in nine straight games for the Celtics since his performance in the All-Star week festivities’ Slam Dunk Contest. CLNS Media’s Bobby Manning, Josue Pavon, A. Sherrod Blakely and John Zannis recently debated if Brown is on track to make an All-NBA team again this season on an episode of the “Garden Report” podcast.

How many Boston Celtics make All-NBA this season?

The Celtics may have stumbled a bit in their recent road loss to the Cavaliers, but they are still far and away the best ball club in the NBA right now.

The Boston Celtics may have stumbled a bit in their recent road loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, but they are still far and away the best ball club in the NBA right now, by a very good margin. The team has its team president and head coach in the running for Executive and Coach of the Year awards, respectively, and has players in the mix for All-Defensive teams and even Most Valuable Player.

They managed to get two All-Star nods and weren’t far off with another two players, but how many Celtics will end up with All-NBA honors by the time the season ends?

Basking in the hubris of Boston’s recent historic blowout of the Golden State Warriors, the hosts of the CLNS Media “How Bout Them Celtics!” podcast weighed in on which players (including Boston’s) might make the cut for each of the now-positionless three teams.

Check out the clip above to hear who they think gets in — and who does not.

Celtics Lab 244: Historic blowouts, exorcising demons, and projecting All-NBA

The Celtics have been playing like a ball club full of All-NBA players. Who will actually make it, and what can we take from the Dubs blowout?

The Boston Celtics have been playing like a ball club full of All-NBA players, even if they will likely only have two — and it has not shown more this season than in their 140-88 demolition of the Golden State Warriors at TD Garden on Sunday afternoon.

Exorcising the demons lingering from their 2022 NBA Finals loss to the Warriors in a big way, now the question in front of Boston as they dive into the stretch run is how long their league-leading win streak will end with the easiest remaining schedule in the NBA.

And while we’re talking about All-NBA, where are those presumed Celtics All-NBA players likely to fall among their elite peers in the league, and who else might join Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown on which All-NBA teams?

The hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast sat down to tease out who they think will make which teams, and where Boston’s players stand among them on their most recent episode. We also get caught up on the news and look back and the Celtics’ week of excellent play.

Celtics Lab 236: Projecting season-long hardware at 2023-24’s midpoint with Kwani Lunis

We cover everything from Most Valuable Player to Executive of the Year and everything in-between,

Most of the teams in the NBA have played around half of their 82-game schedule, giving us enough of a sample size to get an idea of which players might be taking home some full-season hardware come April and onward.

And with the Boston Celtics currently the owners of the league’s best record, it is not unfair to expect the franchise to have at least a little bling headed their way at season’s end. To try to predict what awards Boston players and front office employees might be taking home come spring, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast got together with NBC Boston 10’s and “The Big 3 NBA” podcast cohost Kwani A. Lunis to sort out which Celtics might be adding to their trophy case.

We cover everything from Most Valuable Player to Executive of the Year and everything in-between, and even come up with some of our own, team-specific awards for Boston’s 2023-24 season.

We also get caught up on all the latest news, and look back at an intense week of Celtics games.
