Four-time All-Star Jayson Tatum was drafted third overall by the Boston Celtics in the 2017 NBA Draft. The Duke alumni is the most valuable player for the Boston Celtics and has been the reason for the team's deep postseason runs in recent seasons.
Last season, Tatum alongside his co-star Jaylen Brown helped the team finish second seed in the East. He averaged 30.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 4.6 assists on 46.6% shooting, including 35.0% from deep.
In his young NBA career, Tatum has accomplished what many players dream of. The forward has been named an All-Star four times, has made All-Star First Team selections two times, and was also the MVP of the 2023 All-Star Game. Additionally, he has also donned the USA's National Team jersey multiple times including the 2020 Tokyo Olympics games where the team snagged the Gold medal.
Off the court Tatum has a fair share of endorsements with Gatorade, Jordan shoe brand, subway, NBA 2K, and Ruffles.
