The man is a brick house when he attacks the cup, and he is not afraid to sacrifice his body on plays when the competition gets intense as well.

Former NBA point guard Brandon Jennings didn’t mince words during an appearance on Gilbert Arenas’ podcast last week when it came to Tatum and his standing among Celtics greats.
