Jayson Tatum's 55 points, an NBA All-Star Game record, powered a victory for Team Giannis over Team LeBron on Sunday night.

He hurt a finger on his right hand attempting a chasedown block, and that was enough for him to call it a night. "I found out midway through the fourth [about the record]. "So, it was a no-brainer."

“Just special,” Tatum said. Jason Tatum receives the Kobe Bryant trophy as the Kia NBA All-Star Game MVP. And so it was a performance that ...

Both LeBron and Giannis seemed prepared — LeBron had a cheat sheet, Giannis a cheat book — and it was on. Curiously, Kyrie chose to leave LeBron and the Cavs after that title; he’s now on his third team since then — and is a free agent this summer, thus tossing a log on the speculative fire about a possible reunion with LeBron in L.A. The next task for Tatum is a championship; he and the Celtics faltered last summer after assuming an early series lead against the Warriors. I’m never going to change.” But loyalty to the game has limits when injured. Kobe was a mentor to Tatum almost from the start.

Tatum’s first of four All-Star appearances was in 2020, a month after Kobe’s death. Only Lillard, who swished a shot effortlessly from halfcourt, was able to break the Celtic stranglehold on entertainment. And it came in a rush, when Tatum challenged Brown and their square-off turned into a welcome subplot. “We’ve always brought out the best in each other.” [NBA All-Star Weekend](https://www.nba.com/allstar/2023), the best way to describe it was …

As the Lakers star is feted for breaking the all-time scoring record, the Celtics standout sets a mark of his own at the NBA All-Star Game.

“He’s one of the best players in the league,” Antetokounmpo explained. The clock was turned off for the fourth quarter as the teams tried to reach a total target score of 182 points as part of the “Elam Ending,” which ensures every contest ends with game-winning points. Jokic hopped out of his seat early before James had made his last selection, leaving Utah’s Lauri Markkanen to shrug in confusion once he realized he was the last one onstage. Once Antetokounmpo finished his drafting duties, he took the court with a wrap protecting his injured right wrist. “I didn’t get an opportunity to watch Kareem live, but I know the history of the game,” James said. This year’s All-Star Game opened with a new twist: James and Antetokounmpo picked their rosters one-by-one as part of the pregame show. Antetokounmpo selected Lillard as the first pick among the reserves — to James’s surprise, given that Jrue Holiday, Antetokounmpo’s Bucks teammate, was on the board. In the NBA’s unconventional all-star format, the teams competed quarter-by-quarter for charity. “I did get an opportunity to watch a lot of Karl Malone games live. James, Abdul-Jabbar and Malone then stood side by side, embracing and waving to the crowd. That’s icing on the cake.” “He’s not just a four-time MVP or a 19-time all-star or a gold medalist or an NBA champion.

The moment I saw the shoe or put the shoe on, I felt like I was in sync and closer to them in a way. Tatum’s “unwavering confidence” after getting a haircut inspired the “Barbershop” colorway and the “Pink Lemonade” colorway is inspired by one of his favorite drinks.

The “Zoo” colorway features a darker tone, with most of the shoe being black and a darker shade of red.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum claimed his first All-Star MVP on Sunday night, breaking the NBA record for most points scored in an All-Star game.

Most of that was due to various injuries popping up in March, which ultimately got corrected in time before the postseason. They are currently a half-game ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks for the top seed (and homecourt advantage) in the conference. Yes, Boston was already in the early stages of their famous run during the second half of the season, which started on January 29, but they decimated teams after All-Star weekend to become the East favorites. “Three of the four times I've been an All-Star was with a teammate, two with (Brown), one with Kemba (Walker),” Tatum said. “Now, it's go time – we have to be on the same page,” Tatum said about he and Brown sharing that mindset. Some of the superstars revealed over the weekend they had plans to take a quick vacation after All-Star Sunday. But I thank God every day that I'm in this position that he surrounded me with great friends and family and put me in the right position and just try to have fun. Most players would say the best part of All-Star weekend, aside from the fan interactions, is that it gives them time to be around other superstars and friends around the league – particularly those you only see a couple times each year. “That was like another day at the office for us,” Tatum said with a smile. Larry Bird did make the All-Star team in each of his first four seasons, including the rare rookie selection, but he was already 26 years old by his fourth season. “My first All-Star Game was in Chicago in 2020 when they renamed the MVP after him. Just 24 hours after an uninspiring performance in the shootout, Tatum stepped on the floor and decided Sunday would be a record-breaking night.

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown went head-to-head in an NBA All-Star Game for the second time in three years Sunday night, and they put on quite a show.

Jayson Tatum appeared on NBA TV to discuss his electic 1-on-1 battle with Jaylen Brown during tonight's All-Star Game.

“Maybe not specifically, but I remember he would always tell me, you know, how much does it mean to you? We’ve always brought the best out in each other. We’ve played a countless number of 1-on-1 games, scrimmages against each other.

The two Celtics stars ended up playing against each other on Sunday night in Utah. It was pretty cool.

So it was a normal day for us, it was just millions of people watching on one of the biggest stages. He said after the game -- which Tatum's team won -- that it felt like he and Tatum had the building to themselves for that stretch of play. "That was like another day at the office for us, right?" It led to Brown running out of time, unable to get a shot away before the horn sounded to end the quarter. Brown was sporting a mask on his face, playing in his first game since catching an inadvertent elbow from Tatum on Feb. Brown started things off with a stepback jumper over Tatum to get things started, adding some flair with a "too small" gesture directed at his taller teammate.

On Monday's edition of Zolak & Bertrand, Marc Bertrand made it clear that Jaylen Brown will never be Jayson Tatum.

Jayson Tatum put on a show Sunday night en route to winning NBA All-Star Game MVP -- and set himself up to continue a trend that should excite Celtics fans.

But it's a good reminder that having one of the best players in the world who can shine on any stage goes a long way toward raising a banner. So, Tatum could extend that streak to three if he helps the Celtics raise Banner 18 in June. "I think I had like 49 and Dame (Lillard) was like, 'Yo, the record's 52.' He was like, 'Go get it.'

"Three of the four times I’ve been an All-Star was with a teammate, two with JB, one with Kemba (Walker). Those are the best All-Stars, to share it with somebody that you spend every day of the week with essentially." "So, that was a normal day for us. "Going against my brother in Jayson and going back and forth, it was like nobody was in there at all. We've always kind of brought the best out of each other.

Celtics star Jayson Tatum promised himself that one day he would win the Kobe Bryant All-Star MVP trophy. On Sunday, he delivered.

“I didn’t want to come in the All-Star and leave empty-handed,” Tatum said. You want to be as healthy as possible going into the playoffs, and you want to be playing your best basketball individually and as a group, so that’s what we’re trying to do.” “We’ve always kind of brought the best out of each other,” Tatum said. [told reporters](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZWN9XNuetg) after the game, with the trophy sitting on a table in front of him. Unlike nearly every young basketball player in history, Tatum has the physical potential to accomplish what his predecessors accomplished. In additin to Tatum’s 55, Jaylen Brown finished with a game-high 35 points for Team LeBron. Since then, however, Tatum is yet to miss the annual honor, and this year was a no-doubter. “I was like, ‘Alright, I’m going to go get it.'” Tatum cares deeply about winning, just ask anyone who has had to wrestle him off the floor to rest this season. Bryant’s “Mamba Mentality” ethos might be oversaturated at this point, but the man cared about competition, even in a game that doesn’t really matter. That’s a big part of the reason the All-Star game itself is so bad. After all, Kobe Bryant — his childhood idol — and LeBron James both made the All-Star team in their second season.

The two Boston stars' duel saw defense forcing a shot clock violation in an All-Star game, and a 'too small' celebration.
