Jayson Tatum

Putting the ball in the hoop against an NBA defense is tough enough under the best of circumstances, racking up points in the Finals against an embattled core of three-time champions dedicated to shutting down your every move is borderline impossible. Checked on the perimeter by a mismatch, Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum takes advantage of the opportunity, heads straight to the rack, then contorts his body mid-air to get a layup attempt off around the outstretched arms of Golden State Warriors veteran Draymond Green. Tatum put up 26 points, six rebounds and nine assists in the Game 3 victory on June 8, 2022.
