Here after we won the 2024 championship. This performance is still right there as one of my favorite Celtic moments ever. Most of my friends are sixers fans and they were chirping me constantly once they went up 3-2 in the series. I didn’t say anything, cuz I knew who would end up on top in the end ☘️☘️

Bro he had close to 50% of all of Boston’s points. Absolutely insane.

[mrpogz]

God Mode Tatum was activated back in game 6

[ralphjohnson]

Man shot 60 percent from 3, and 61 percent from the field and got 51 points. You cant stop this guy

[DawnHibiki]

What a HISTORIC performance by Jayson Tatum! This has
been one of the greatest performances for Boston Celtics.

[thealphabetsong]

He is HUMBLY one of the best players in the world

[janusjoshuaangeles]

The way Tatum attacks the rim is so graceful yet powerful at the same time.

Now I am here replaying this over and over again. The feeling of excitement and in awe for this stellar performance.
Gotta wait for until October 2023 to see another great season from him.

[robbieheywood]

This is the Tatum people forgot about. This is why Embiid is mad. Did we have a super team here? Lol

[respectbegetsrespect]

That's the Tatum we know and need!!! 👏👏

[Trivedi_Tuesdays]

Tatum, who is now 5-1 in gm7s, led his squad in pts, reb, asst, and +/-. A true disciple of the black mamba.

[sim.kia]

When Tatum gets going, it is a freaking sight to see, man. He has the ability to just go nuclear out of nowhere. Phenomenal scorer

[jwvvvv]

Glad one Boston team knows how to win a Game 7 at home.

[sherwincervantes]

Curry’s 50-point Game 7 is an nba record broke a month later by this. I said back then that I aint respecting nobody till they give me 51 as a joke. And now here it is. Respect to Tatum. 💯

[otda]

Man single handily pulled his team through, Kobe saw the potential in him and he demonstrated why he’s going to be in the MVP conversation for years to come….sensational performance in both ends and the consummate professional

[WO]

The media and twitter disrespecting this man the whole series don’t flip the script now stay on that side 💯🔥🔥🔥

[briancrum]

75% of Curry + 75% of LeBron = Jayson Tatum. He will be the GOAT of this era.

[bigbtv]

We gonna need this tatum in the finals 🙏
