After nine seasons with the Boston Celtics<\/a>, Jayson Tatum<\/a> is laying the foundation for a Hall of Fame career. A six-time All-Star wth four All-NBA First Team selections and a championship ring under his belt, Tatum has already achieved more than most NBA players do in their entire careers.<\/p>\n

Tatum’s only 28, though, so he’s far from finished. There’s still plenty more he wants to accomplish before he hangs it up, whenever that may be.<\/p>\n

During his recent interview with Craig Melvin on the “Glass Half Full” podcast, Tatum revealed what he’s still chasing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I would say winning another championship and holding a Finals MVP,” Tatum said. When asked if he could do that in Boston, Tatum replied, “Absolutely. Especially after what I’ve been through, it would mean that much more.”<\/p>\n

Tatum already has a ring, but he still wants at least one more. He’d also like to win an NBA Finals MVP, which went to Jaylen Brown<\/a> during the Celtics’ 2024 title run.<\/p>\n

Those are good goals, especially for a player like Tatum. It’s encouraging for Boston fans that they both involve winning a championship rather than an individual award or record.<\/p>\n

Time will tell if Tatum is able to achieve those goals, but time is one thing he has on his side right now.<\/p>\n
