On Thursday evening, the Boston Celtics beat the Philadelphia 76ers by a score of 124-104. Jayson Tatum led the way with 15 points, 11 rebounds, ten assists and one steal while shooting 5/13 from the field and 2/7 from the three-point range in 35 minutes of playing time.

Jayson Tatum has stressed for years that he always aims to be the best. When it comes to becoming one of the greatest Celtics ever, he said he's chasing one legend in particular.

Star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum is this generation's version of the LeBron James Swiss Army knife player. Or at least that is the position of the eponymous host of the "Hoops Tonight with Jason Timpf" podcast host on a recent episode of his show. And if you squint a bit, the comparison rings true.
