Jayson Tatum · Jayson Tatum’s 2024–25 campaign added another chapter to his growing legacy. With averages of 26.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, and a career-best 6.0 assists across 72 games, the Celtics star earned his fourth consecutive All-NBA First Team honor—cementing his place among Boston greats. Tatum’s impact was everywhere. He controlled games with poise, punished mismatches with polish, and elevated his play when it mattered most. In Game 5 of Boston’s first-round series, he erupted for 35 points, 10 assists, and 8 rebounds to close out Orlando and send a message to the East. The numbers were elite, but the feel—the trust, the presence, the moments—told the full story. Still just 27, Tatum continues to rise. And the banners in Boston feel one step closer with every season he leads the way. · State of Mint
