Jayson Tatum

These days, you can always count on Jayson Tatum to be in two places at once: in the thick of the NBA’s annual Most Valuable Player race and in the recurring nightmares of defenders across the Association. On his way to a 31-point first half showing — a career-best — the still-ascending Boston Celtics star produced a clinic on how to score in every way possible. From guarded to unguarded, to scoring efficiently at all three levels, Tatum, ironically, left the Brooklyn Nets with the task of catching the ball out of the net all throughout the victory on February 13, 2024. Matching finesse with physicality during his 41-point performance, Tatum also contributed 14 rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block, and five 3-pointers.
