Celtics' Jayson Tatum Has A Huge Picture of His Dunk on LeBron From the 2018 Playoffs

Tatum scored 24 points on 9-17 shooting in Boston's Game 7 loss in the Eastern Conference finals.

Jayson Tatum's rookie year culminated in a thunderous dunk over LeBron James in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals in May 2018. Boston lost the Game 7 battle 89-77 and the series 4–3, but the Celtics' second-year forward still made sure to immortalize his slam on King James.

"I've got a big-ass picture of it in my house," Tatum told the New York Times' Sopan Deb on Tuesday.

Tatum finished third in the NBA Rookie of the Year voting in 2017-18. He is averaged 15.7 points and 6.0 rebounds per game this season. The Duke product scored 20 points in Boston's 84-74 win on April 14.
