NBA star Jayson Tatum has been having the time of his life, especially given how his professional basketball career has been going lately. Tatum won the decorated 2024 NBA title with the Boston Celtics this year as well as the Gold medal with his nation, Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics. In addition, Tatum does not seem to stop and made a bold prediction recently.
Interestingly, Tatum made his debut appearance on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’. Fallon was impressed by Tatum’s predictions when he was an 8-year-old kid. Tatum had put down his ambitions, the most important of which were to play in the NBA and represent his country in the Olympics by the age of thirty. Jimmy Fallon interpreted this as an indication that Jayson Tatum had some supernatural foresight.
On ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’, Jayson Tatum was questioned regarding the 2025 NBA Finalist.
The Boston Celtics…Uh, it’s going to be a rematch. We’re going to play Dallas again.
Jayson Tatum said
This was well and truly a bold claim made by Tatum ahead of the 2024-25 NBA season.
It seems to be like Tatum has been paying attention during the offseason. The Mavericks, who shot 31.6% from deep during their Finals series versus Boston, have taken significant steps to correct their deficiencies. The addition of Klay Thompson enhances their spacing tremendously. Hence, it will be intriguing to watch whether or not Tatum’s prediction comes true in a year.

Brisset and Tatum were having a conversation regarding their championship rings as to which finger they would wear them on. To which Tatum responded to him with a smile.
I was going pinky, but I went index. I’m gonna save the pinky for the next one (smiles).

This clearly shows that the Boston Celtics are not content with one NBA title. They are aiming for another one. Also, with the likes of talented stars like Tatum and Jaylen Brown at their disposal, they have a clear shot at winning another NBA title. However, it won’t be as easy as this past 2023-24 NBA season for them. Many teams have gotten stronger over the off-season and will be looking to dethrone the Celtics in the upcoming NBA season.
