Jayson Tatum is one of the best players in the NBA today, however, he does not get the credit that he deserves quite simply because he is in one of, if not, the best team in the NBA. Tatum was drafted by the Boston Celtics as the third overall pick in the 2017 NBA draft, and he is one of the winningest players in the league. Ever since his rookie season, all Tatum has done is win at the highest of levels. In his 8 total years in the NBA, Tatum has already been selected to the All-Star team 6 times, All NBA team 4 times, and has been to the Eastern Conference Finals 5 times in his career.

He’s already won the championship as the franchise’s best player, at the age of 27 and is on the hunt for more. Tatum has helped the Boston Celtics become one of the most dominating franchises currently, and they are also trying to repeat as champions this season, something which hasn’t been done since the 2017-2018 Golden State Warriors. Tatum has one of the smoothest games from across the league today, as he has the perfect balance of size, athleticism, scoring from all three levels, and ball handling, which makes him one of the more complete players in the league today.

How Many Playoff Appearances Does Jayson Tatum Have?

Jayson Tatum has played in the NBA for 8 seasons so far, and he has made the playoffs every single year starting from his rookie season, making it a total of 8 appearances so far. In his rookie year, Tatum and the Celtics went as far as the Eastern Conference Finals, and took the Cleveland Cavaliers to 7 games in the 2017-2018 season. He averaged 18.5 points per game in the playoffs that season, and we immediately knew how special he was going to be in the future.

The following season in 2018-2019, Tatum and the Celtics came up short against the Milwaukee Bucks in the second round of the playoffs. It took Tatum and the Celtics two more seasons, before they figured out what they needed to get to the NBA finals. In 2021-2022 season, the Celtics battled the Golden State Warriors in the 2022 NBA finals, however, they came up short.

The following season, the Celtics lost against the 8th seeded Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, in what was one of the biggest upset we’ve seen in recent years. However, the Celtics acquired Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, which changed everything for the Celtics. They looked unstoppable last season, as they held the best record in the Eastern Conference, and after all the adversity Tatum and Jalen Brown went through, they finally won the championship that they desperately craved for.

I cover the National Football League and things cannot get better than that. I always dreamed to play football or basketball professionally since I’m built like a Running Back. But now that I can’t, since I’m technically in the “Unc” age, I thought why not pick a career in sports industry? So here I am, doing what I love, and hoping that the Commanders win the Super Bowl. I give love to players when it’s due, but can be critical about their performances at the same time. Enough about me, now let my articles do all the talking.
