The Boston Celtics’ superstar leads his team to an NBA Championship, breaking records along the way
Tatum’s record-breaking night seals Celtics’ championshipLAPRESSE
Jayson Tatum delivered a performance that not only shattered records but also solidified his place among the greats of the Boston Celtics. Tatum’s heroics in Game 5 of the 2024 NBA Finals saw him become the first Celtic ever to score 30+ points and deliver 10+ assists in an NBA Finals game, a feat that will forever be remembered by the basketball world.
But the accolades didn’t stop there. Tatum, a fervent admirer of the late Kobe Bryant, achieved a milestone that even his idol couldn’t surpass. Tatum’s 16 first-half points elevated his career playoff total to 2,696 points, making him the highest-scoring player aged 26 or younger in playoff history, eclipsing Bryant’s record of 2,694 points. This achievement underscores the remarkable nature of Tatum’s playoff career, a testament to his consistency and brilliance on the biggest stage.

Throughout his career, Tatum has consistently demonstrated his ability to perform under pressure. He has reached the conference finals in five of his seven professional seasons and made two NBA Finals appearances. His record-setting 51 points in last year’s Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Philadelphia 76ers remains a highlight of his career, showcasing his ability to rise to the occasion when it matters most.
The ultimate prize: Tatum finally gets his Championship ring
Yet, despite his numerous achievements, the ultimate prize had eluded Tatum: an NBA championship ring. But that all changed with Boston’s victory in Game 5, where they clinched the NBA Finals series 4-1 against the Dallas Mavericks. Tatum’s determination to seize this moment and cement his legacy with a title was evident throughout the game.
As the final minutes of the game ticked away, the emotion of the moment overwhelmed Tatum. He was seen bent over, tears streaming down his face, as the reality of their victory began to sink in. It was evident that the Celtics were the superior team, their season-long dominance finally culminating in a championship.

The treatment is also having an effect on her mind, as she’s revealed suffering memory loss in her latest YouTube update.

Isabella’s video includes footage from her hospital visit, during which she was eating a sandwich that she couldn’t recall ordering.
