Celtics’ Jayson Tatum reveals heartbreaking message from son after NBA Finals

The Boston Celtics won the NBA Finals with a 106-88 victory over the Dallas Mavericks in Game 5 at home, and it was the first championship for Celtics star Jayson Tatum, who had a great time on the field with his son, Deuce, as confetti fell all around him.

After the match, Jayson Tatum was asked what Deuce said to him when he hit him on the ground, and the answer makes the moment even better.

“He told me I was the best in the world,” Tatum said via Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. “I said, ‘You’re right, I am.'”

After many close games and plenty of criticism for not making the playoffs, Tatum and this group of Celtics climbed to the top of the mountain to win the franchise’s 18th championship. Tatum and Jaylen Brown have faced criticism in recent years and been met with skepticism over whether or not they can win a championship. Now the answer to that question is a resounding yes.

The Celtics didn’t have many problems against the Mavericks. Tatum had one of his best games of the playoffs, scoring 31 points with 11 assists and eight rebounds. his running mate Jaylen Brown scored 21 and had six assists and eight rebounds as well. It was a complete effort, as Jrue Holiday scored 15 points with 11 rebounds and Derrick White also contributed 14 points.

Jayson Tatum and the Celtics are coming off a historically dominant season

This year’s Celtics dominated from start to finish. Early in the regular season, Boston proved how dominant they were, and that continued throughout the year. The Celtics finished with a 64-18 regular season record, finishing 14 games ahead of the second team in the Eastern Conference, and seven games better than the Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets, who were tied for the top of the Western Conference at 57-. 25.

This level of dominance continued into the playoffs, with the Celtics only losing three games in their entire postseason run. In the first round, Boston easily defeated the Miami Heat in five games to advance to the second round. It was the same thing in the second round with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Heat and the Cavaliers were banged up, but the Celtics still seemed on track to win these series.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Celtics faced the Indiana Pacers and, although many games were close, they came away with a sweep to advance to the Finals.

As previously mentioned, the Celtics didn’t have many problems against the Mavericks, only losing Game 4 in resounding fashion. Boston won the series convincingly. This shouldn’t be taken for granted or downplayed, as the Mavericks were considered the toughest test for the Celtics before the series started, and both Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving were playing at an incredibly high level.

Instead, the Celtics continued doing what they were doing and completed one of the most dominant seasons in NBA history.
