For the first time in his professional career, Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum has won the NBA championship.
Tatum led the closeout game against the Dallas Mavericks with 31 points, 8 rebounds, and 11 assists during the victory. He also added two steals for the Celtics as well.
Once it started to sink in that the Larry O’Brien Trophy was coming his way, it was easy to see the emotions on Tatum’s face. After he checked out of the game, he sat on the sideline with his head in his palms as he processed what was happening around him.
It was a beautiful moment that was a long time coming for the superstar:
