It feels as if Tatum has been in the league for a very long time; however, at only 26 years old, Tatum is in his ninth season and ready to win even more.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_uneo2caw2\">Last season, he and his team were fortunate enough to be named champions, but he doesn&#8217;t want it to stop there.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_85a9fv3vc\">Tatum is a great player, and most of his values and principles on the court have come from one of the greatest ever to lace them up, NBA and Lakers legend Kobe Bryant.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_drftwe1dz\">Tatum has a deep connection with Bryant and has paid tribute to him in many ways. In a recent interview with Forbes, Tatum revealed what aspect of Byran is challenging to this day.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_2id2562a5\">&#8220;Being relentless. Kobe didn&#8217;t stop at being satisfied with one championship or two or three, he ended up winning five. And he didn&#8217;t have any regrets when he left. That&#8217;s what I admire about him the most, he gave everything he had to the game of basketball.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jayson Tatum speaks on his goals to win MVP &amp; Finals MVP and breaks down what it takes to be the face of the NBA with Forbes <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/aC2nwVCtRH\">pic.twitter.com\/aC2nwVCtRH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; 2Cool2Blog (@2Cool2Blog) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/2Cool2Blog\/status\/1864015856025436637?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 3, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_njlrzturc\">Tatum has spoken in the past about how Bryant inspired him to pursue his dream of playing in the NBA.\u00a0He watched Bryant&#8217;s games and highlights on YouTube and fashioned his fadeaway shot after repeatedly watching his YouTube clips.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_hmtizui8y\">Tatum also said that Bryant was a mentor to him and that he&#8217;s beyond thankful for everything Bryant did for him. It may be hard for a Celtics player to manage his game after a former Lakers, but Bryant&#8217;s inspiration is the reason the Celtics have a great player in their own right.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_qmy0zxp2g\">Tatum has also spoken about how the Lakers were his favorite team growing up.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_vvcw5idj7\">&#8220;My favorite team were the Lakers. Kobe Bryant was the reason I started playing basketball. He always was and will be my favorite player of all time,&#8221;\u00a0he said passionately.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_ek7o3myg7\">&#8220;I love the way he could get his shot off. His footwork in the mid-post. His determination to be the best player. He had an incredible work ethic, an incredible drive, and just his killer mentality that he had.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boston Celtics star forward Jayson Tatumn is establishing himself as one of the best players in the league.
