Jayson Christopher Tatum (/ˈteɪtəm/ TAY-təm; born March 3, 1998) is an American professional basketball player for the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was a McDonald's All-American in high school in Missouri and played college basketball for the Duke Blue Devils. Tatum was selected by the Boston Celtics with the third overall pick in the 2017 NBA draft and was voted to the NBA All-Rookie First Team in the 2018 season. Tatum won the inaugural NBA Eastern Conference finals MVP in 2022, and won his first title in the 2024 NBA Finals.

Tatum is a five-time NBA All-Star and four-time All-NBA selection. In 2024, he led the team to a league-best 64 wins and a championship in the NBA Finals. Tatum also won a gold medal with the 2020 and 2024 U.S. Olympic teams. He holds the records for most points scored in an NBA All-Star Game (55), most points scored in a Game 7 of any NBA playoffs series (51), and most points scored in the NBA playoffs at his age.

High school career

Tatum attended Chaminade College Preparatory School in Creve Coeur, Missouri. He was inspired by Bradley Beal, a senior at Chaminade, while Tatum was in his first year there as a seventh grader. Tatum struggled with the school's college preparatory curriculum, and his classmates were substantially more privileged than he was. Tatum played alongside Tyler Cook and was in gym class with classmate Matthew Tkachuk. Tatum wanted to play under his father, the head basketball coach at nearby Christian Brothers College High School, but his mother preferred Chaminade so Tatum would still work hard on academics.[1][2]

As a freshman, Tatum averaged 13.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game and was named 2013 Metro Catholic Conference (MCC) Co-Player of the Year, leading the Red Devils to both MCC and Missouri District 2 crowns.

As a sophomore in 2014, Tatum averaged 26.0 points and 11.0 rebounds per game.[3]

As a junior, Tatum averaged 25.9 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game, while earning Second-team Naismith Trophy All-American honors. In the summer of 2015, he joined the St. Louis Eagles Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) team on the highly competitive Nike Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL) Circuit. On July 11, the Eagles narrowly defeated future Duke teammate Harry Giles and Team CP3 74–73 in the Nike Peach Jam Semi-Finals with a game-winning buzzer-beater to advance to the championship game, where Tatum finished the game with 28 points and five rebounds.[4] The next day, he had 24 points, seven rebounds, and four blocks in a 104–77 loss to the Georgia Stars and future Duke one-and-done Wendell Carter Jr. in the 2015 Nike Peach Jam championship game.[5] During the Circuit, Tatum led the EYBL in scoring with 26.5 points to go along with 9.5 rebounds per game.

Before his senior year, Tatum made a verbal commitment to Duke University over North Carolina, Kentucky, and Saint Louis University.[6][7]

Tatum at the 2016 Jordan Brand Classic

As a senior in 2015–16, Tatum averaged 29.6 points and 9.1 rebounds and posted six 40-point games while leading Chaminade to its second Missouri Class 5A state championship.[8] Among his senior year highlights were a 40-point, 17-rebound game in a 76–57 victory over Bentonville High School and its star Malik Monk,[9] a 46-point game against Huntington Prep and Miles Bridges at the Cancer Research Classic,[10] and a final 40-point game against DeMatha Catholic High School and future #1 NBA draft pick Markelle Fultz at the 2016 HoopHall Classic.[11]

Tatum was selected to the 2016 McDonald's All-American Game on March 30, 2016, at the United Center in Chicago, leading the East Team in scoring with 18 points and grabbing eight rebounds in a 114–107 loss.[12] In April, Tatum played in the Jordan Brand Classic, where he scored 18 points in a 131–117 victory over the West team.[13] Tatum was named the 2016 Gatorade National Player of the Year.[14]

However, Boston was eliminated in the Conference Finals by the Miami Heat in six games.[74] In Game 1, with the Celtics trailing by two in the closing seconds, Tatum's game-tying dunk attempt was blocked by Heat center Bam Adebayo with 4.8 seconds left and propelled Miami to a 117–114 victory.[75]

It was tough to move. Just frustrating; it happening on the first play.”[152]

2023–24 season: First NBA championship

On November 4, 2023, Tatum recorded 32 points and 11 rebounds in a 124–114 victory over the Brooklyn Nets and became the youngest Celtic to reach 10,000 career points at 25 years and 246 days of age.[153][154] On November 20, he scored a season-high 45 points to go along with 13 rebounds and six assists in a 121–118 overtime loss to the Charlotte Hornets.[155] On January 25, 2024, Tatum was named an Eastern Conference starter for the 2024 NBA All-Star Game, marking his fifth consecutive selection and his second selection in a row as a starter.[156]

He also joined Larry Bird as the only players in Celtics franchise history to put up at least 25 40-point games.[157][158] On March 9, Tatum and Brown combined for 56 points in a 117–107 victory over the Phoenix Suns; Tatum became the third Celtic to record 1,000 three-pointers, joining Paul Pierce and teammate Brown.[159] The Celtics finished the regular season with the NBA's top seed and home-court advantage throughout the postseason for the first time since 2007–08.

On April 21, in Game 1 of the Celtics' first round playoff series against the Miami Heat, Tatum notched his first career playoff triple-double with 23 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists in a 114–94 victory.[160] In Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Indiana Pacers on May 21, Tatum scored 36 points, including 10 in overtime, along with 12 rebounds, four assists, and three steals in a 133–128 victory.[161] Four days later in Game 3, he had 36 points again during a 114–111 comeback victory.[162] The Celtics won the series in four games and advanced to the 2024 NBA Finals.[163] Tatum became the sixth player in NBA history after Tim Duncan, Jason Kidd, LeBron James, Nikola Jokić, and Luka Dončić to lead their team in points, rebounds, and assists while reaching the NBA Finals.[164]

In Game 2 of the 2024 NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks on June 9, Tatum recorded a near triple-double with 18 points, 12 assists, and nine rebounds in a 105–98 victory.[165] Three days later in Game 3, he had 31 points, six rebounds, and five assists in 106–99 victory. Tatum and Jaylen Brown became the first Celtics duo to each post at least 30/5/5 in an NBA Finals game. In doing so, they also surpassed Larry Bird and Kevin McHale for the most 25-point games as a Celtics duo in playoff history.[166] The Celtics went on to win the series in five games, with Tatum recording 31 points, 11 assists, and eight rebounds during the 106–88 close-out victory in Game 5 on June 17.[167] Tatum became the sixth player to lead his team in points, rebounds and assists during a championship run. The only other players to do this were Nikola Jokić, LeBron James, Tim Duncan, Hakeem Olajuwon and Larry Bird. Tatum also led the Celtics in all three categories during the NBA Finals.[168]

2024–25: Record-breaking extension

On July 1, 2024, Tatum signed a five-year contract extension worth up to $314 million, surpassing his superstar teammate Jaylen Brown's $304 million extension as the richest deal in NBA history.[169]
