Celtics star Jayson Tatum put himself alongside some of the NBA's biggest legends before he turns 27 on Monday.

Of course, it depends on what one means when one says such a thing. If scoring is the measuring stick one uses to point to greatness on a basketball court, there are likely several players with a greater claim to that honor.

BOSTON (AP) — Jayson Tatum scored 25 points with 10 rebounds and nine assists to lead the Boston Celtics to a 118-105 victory over the New York Knicks on Sunday. Tatum just missed getting a triple-double for the second straight game after earning one in a victory at Philadelphia on Thursday.
