Tatum, 26, averaged 22.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 7.2 assists against the Dallas Mavericks in the 2023-24 NBA Finals, leading his team to four wins and one loss, his 18th career championship. Boston has won for the first time in 16 years since 2008, and has surpassed the Los Angeles Lakers as the most winning team in this category.
Tatum was selected by Boston as the third overall pick in the 2017 rookie draft. Since then, he has become a starting player early on and grown into the best wing in the league. Since his debut, Tatum has won three All-NBA First Teams, five All-Star teams, and one Eastern Conference Final MVP. His career average in the regular league is 23.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in 513 games.
Boston has already signed an extension with Derek White. The media pointed out that Boston will continue to accompany all starting players through at least 2025-26 seasons.
Boston’s one-two punch draws attention. Boston signed a Max contract to Jaylon Brown last year, but also gave another franchise star Tatum a massive contract this year. At the time, Brown opened the era of 300 million U.S. dollars contract for the first time in NBA history, and Tatum took over the baton. In other words, Boston invested 619 million dollars in one-two punch alone.
