WATCH: Jayson Tatum’s game-changing February (and happy birthday!)

We can no longer say that Boston Celtics All-Star forward Jayson Tatum is “just 21” anymore.

Part of that is because he’s now 22 (happy birthday!), but an equally important reason is because after the February the Duke product had, very few if anyone will be looking at Tatum as anything but a full fledged star going forward.

After a month of production only equalled by some of the greatest names to pass through Boston, it’s clear a new era for the Missouri native’s career has arrived, and it’s already a joy to watch.

So take a few minutes to watch the video below, and take in the month Tatum truly made the leap — it’s such a rarity to see a player grow like this in-season.

From the St- Louis native’s domination of Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard to his intentionally missed free throws that nearly helped steal the game against the Houston Rockets, this month was full of memories worth a second look.
