In the classic ongoing debate about the greatest Boston Celtics player of all time, the focus has shifted to current-day Celtics superstar forward Jayson Tatum. Comparisons are being drawn between Tatum, Boston Hall of Fame forward Larry Bird, and 2008 Hall of Fame titlist Paul Pierce, with speculation about Tatum’s potential to surpass at least Pierce’s legacy if he can put a title under his belt.

Does the St. Louis native have the potential to surpass the Truth and possibly even challenge the Hick From French Lick’s status as the greatest Celtic not named Bill Russell? Or does Tatum still have plenty of work to do to be mentioned in the same breath as these titans?

The hosts of the CLNS Media “Bob Ryan, Jeff Goodman, and Gary Tanguay” podcast debated this topic at length on a recent episode.
