Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum

Jayson Tatum is currently on cloud nine after winning his first-ever championship. The Boston Celtics forward is coming across new experiences after gaining his new title. It is safe to say that the star is not used to the fresh treatment as he shared an exciting moment at the golf course on social media.

It took seven years for Jayson Tatum to claim his title after coming close numerous times. The forward was almost there in 2022 but fell short against the Golden State Warriors. However, now Tatum has reached the finish line and thoroughly enjoys the treatment of a ‘champ.’ 

Everybody at the golf course called me “champ” today, I fu*king loved it. Can’t wait for the parade tomorrow.

After getting criticized for not having a championship on his resume and for numerous other reasons, Tatum can finally put all the criticism to rest. The team completely dominated the playoffs and is ready for celebrations. The present seems celebratory, and the future looks bright in Boston at the moment.

Al Horford congratulated ‘champ’ Jayson Tatum on winning first title

Despite being one of the top players in the league at such a young age, Tatum had to hear a lot of harsh words this year. From blaming his ‘no titles’ for his MVP rank to claiming getting carried by his teammates, the 26-year-old went through a lot despite having an incredible season. No one other than his teammates knows what Tatum might have faced.

As Tatum was emotional after winning the title, veteran Al Horford embraced the star and gave some comforting words. Considering Horford also won the title after waiting for so many years, the star certainly knows the feeling. Horford told Tatum that the critics would not bother anymore as Tatum’s mic caught the conversation.

It took seventeen years for Horford to get his first ring. Fortunately, Tatum did not have to wait that long. The forward certainly needs to get used to the title ‘champ’ for the next few months after hearing the backlash and proving his critics wrong. One could only wonder if it was the start of a dynasty in Boston.
