[autotag]Jayson Tatum[/autotag] keeps making more statements as to where he stands on the pantheon of former Duke men’s basketball players.
He joined an elite list of former Blue Devils with an NBA championship on their resume after the Boston Celtics dispatched the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals. He made the All-NBA First Team squad for the third straight season, the only Duke player with multiple such honors on his resume.
Now, he’s gearing up for his second run at Olympic gold with Team USA. After he won a gold medal in Tokyo three summers ago, he’s set to play for the American squad again. He actually started for the United States team during a Wednesday exhibition game against Serbia.
More than a dozen Blue Devils have represented their country in the Olympic Games, but none have multiple gold medals on their resume. Can Tatum set another Duke benchmark?
Here are the best photos from his time in Tokyo three summers ago.
