Not only did he get to team up with lifelong friend Bradley Beal, but Boston Celtics All-NBA forward Jayson Tatum got to take on his teammate Jaylen Brown in the 2021 NBA All-Star Game as a starter.
Unfortunately it did not go as well as it might have overall with Tatum’s Team Durant falling to Team LeBron 170 – 150 on an Elam ending 3-pointer from Dame Lillard. But for the Duke product himself, it was a big step forward from his minor role in last year’s All-Star Game, with Tatum scoring 21 points, 7 assists and 4 steals in the annual exhibition game.
Watch the video embedded below produced by Tomasz Kordylewski to see the St. Louis native’s All-Star highlights.
It was clear both Tatum and Brown had a blast in Atlanta, likely one of many more trips coming in the future for both.
