Following a Game Six victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, the Boston Celtics led by Jayson Tatum, forced a Game Seven, that will conclude the series on Sunday.

Following the victory on Thursday night, Tatum was interviewed on the court following the Celtics 95-86 victory.

Tatum stated that :

“Humbly, I’m one of the best basketball players in the world. It’s a long game, go through struggles, go through slumps. I’m thankful I have some great teammates to hold it down…Brogdon, JB, Smart, Al, they all trust me, right? They told me keep taking great looks, it’s gonna fall, keep impacting the game in other ways.All that mattered was that we won this game, give ourselves another chance to come back home for a Game 7.”

How will Tatum’s words impact the NBA Playoff journey ahead for himself and Boston, if they advance?

What would someone like Nikola Jokić have to say regarding that? Especially if the Denver Nuggets and the Boston Celtics crossed paths in the NBA Finals??
