What a summer it’s been for Jayson Tatum.
First, he guides the Boston Celtics to an NBA best 64-18 record, 14 wins more than the next best team in the East and 7 more than the No. 1 seed in the West.
Tatum and Jaylen Brown then lead Boston to a 16-3 playoff record en route to their first NBA championship as a duo and the 18th in the storied history of the Boston Celtics franchise
Then, he signs the largest contract in NBA history: a 5-year, $395 million max deal to remain in Boston, where he’ll have a great chance at repeating.
Jayson Tatum was named the cover athlete for NBA 2K25 in July alongside Las Vegas Aces superstar and 2-time WNBA champion A’ja Wilson.
And finally, Tatum wins an Olympic gold medal with Team USA in the 2024 Paris Olympics in August.
Has anyone had a better summer? Has any pro athlete ever had a better summer than what we’ve seen from Jayson Tatum?
