The Boston Celtics defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers at TD Garden on Tuesday, with Brazilian soccer prodigy Endrick also in attendance. Before the game, the two stars shared a special moment as Tatum exchanged signed jerseys with Palmeiras forward Endrick.

The Brazilian, who is set to join Real Madrid, wore an all-white attire to the game.

Endrick is only 17 years old and is already regarded as one of the top players in the world. He agreed to terms with Real Madrid for an unknown fee in December 2022. He is expected to join the club when he turns 18 in July 2024.

After defeating the Cavs 120-113, the Celtics retained their perfect home record. They are the only team in the NBA to remain unbeaten at home. Their winning streak at TD Garden now stands at 11-0 after Tuesday’s victory.

Both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown had 25 points. Kristaps Porzingis also had a big night, scoring 21 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Despite Donovan Mitchell’s game-high 29 points and Darius Garland’s 26 points, the Cavaliers were unable to beat the Celtics.

Jayson Tatum discusses dunking against LeBron James as a rookie.

Jayson Tatum has come a long way in the NBA since his rookie season. He has established as one of the league’s most dependable superstars. However, there has never been any doubt about his ability since stepping onto an NBA court.

Perhaps the earliest proof was his postseason performance in 2018, when he was the focal point of the Celtics’ offense in Kyrie Irving’s absence. Furthermore, with his dunk against the great LeBron James in WCF Game 7, Tatum gave the Celtics hope. Not only that, but after the dunk, he roared and collided with “King James.”

Later, when asked about the play and what he did afterward, Tatum stated that he was glad he did it.

“I’m not sure why I yelled and bumped him… “However, I’m glad I did,” Tatum told GQ. “I’ll never forget that. But I was running back on defense, thinking to myself, ‘Oh, my God.’ “I couldn’t believe what I was about to do.”

Moving forward, Jayson Tatum is a seven-year NBA veteran who is 25 years old. The night of Game 7 was not only a blast, but also the beginning of a volcano. He has developed into not only one of the league’s top scorers, but also one of the league’s greatest two-way players.
