  1. Whats crazy he gon have a better game than this one day he still 25 and you hit your prime at 28 im tellin yall ok GOD boy special he gon do special things in the association Generational Talent im callin it RN

  2. U really go have Joel Embiid on him? Yhis aint one on one in the gym in the summer 4 years ago. This a whole nother ball game. 🤯

  3. For a lot of these shots he was actually defended pretty well, he was just making everything it seemed like

  4. Jayson Tatum single-handedly broke the Sixers – his final 4 minutes of game 6 into his game 7 performance is part of his legacy and the recovery was amazing. He's underrated, not overrated. Nobody has it every night. The difference is when Tatum has it going, only a very small handful are capable of matching this.

  5. I'm a Boston boy cause we got no team in my state, and I also happen to LOVE their logo. I need to follow the players more though, Tatum was on fire this game 🔥🔥🔥

  6. Fuck all the refs somebody on nba make an action for those unfair calls fuck all your referees nut head noob refs.

  7. Best game 7 performance from a player in NBA history by far an iconic player & performance by Jason Tatum I'm so proud to be Celtics Boston stand up wya #NBA-I❤This Game

  8. Best game 7 performance from a player in NBA history by far an iconic player & performance by Jason Tatum I'm so proud to be Celtics Boston stand up wya #NBA-I❤This Game

  9. It’s the fact that he kept going at and scoring on Embiid, who’s body language has gotta be some of the worst in the sport. When his team is losing he gives up.

  10. The media and twitter disrespecting this man the whole series don’t flip the script now stay on that side #NBA-I❤This Game

  11. Solid performance for sure but we need him to play like this in the finals. That’s what we need to see, get to the finals and shine just like this. #NBA-I❤This Game

  12. Another major star from today who isn't as athletic as the best players from the 1990s. Tatum looks decently athletic, but not with crazy leaps or anything. Similar to Paul Pierce athlete-wise, I'd say.

  13. Daamn Right!! Aye🤣🤣 He Was Terrorizing Embiid Ass All Game That Man Looked Drunk Out Thurr 🤣🤣Best All-around Scorer In The League …He Got That Next Level Confidence Now, Boston About To Be Making Finals Runs For The Next 10 Years…….IF They Can Keep Their Core (JT, JB, SMART, WILLIAMS) and A Couple 3, And D Guys Its A Wrap Stop Playin Wit EM 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️💯#314HuSTLecity

  14. Everybody ain’t able. We need this Tatum against Miami. If he plays like this, Celtics in 4. If he does not, Celtics in 6.

  15. Also one of the hardest celebrations of the year, that 🖐🏾✊🏾
