Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum joined Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan and Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James on an impressive list
The 2024 Paris Olympics did not go as planned for Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum. While Tatum won a gold medal with Team USA, he played the second-fewest minutes on the entire team throughout their run.
Not playing a single minute in the semifinals game against Serbia, Tatum played just 11 minutes in the gold medal game against France. Tatum's 71 minutes at the Olympics were the second-fewest on the team, with Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton playing the fewest . Despite not having the role he expected, Tatum still made history by joining Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan and Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James as just the third player in NBA history to make All-NBA First Team, win an NBA championship, and win an Olympic gold medal in the same year.
