So far this season, star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum has been playing at a new level as a candidate for the 2023 NBA Kia Most Valuable Player award while helping to push his ball club to one of the best records in the league.
But the St. Louis native has long been a clutch player, able to get the Celtics into the win column with late-game heroics. Whether it is shocking the Brooklyn Nets with a last-second, almost impossible bucket in the 2022 NBA Playoffs or his more quotidian excellence in the game’s final two minutes of play, Tatum is known for such plays.
