Chris Gasper joins Michael Felger and Tom Giles on BST to check-in on the Celtics, and whether the offseason moves are enough to put them over the top and capture Banner 18.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum is an NBA superstar, and that is reflected in many ways.

He has been selected to the All-Star game in each of the last three seasons, including the last two as a starter. He was named first-team All-NBA each of the last two seasons as well. He was the Eastern Conference Finals MVP in 2022, and this past season he became the first player in Celtics history to average 30 or more points per game. His 2,059 playoff points are the most by any player since 2017-18.

Tatum also has garnered tremendous respect in the virtual world.
