The Boston Celtics will win the 2025 NBA title if star forward Jayson Tatum keeps playing the way he has been heading into the stretch run of the 2024-25 regular season. Or at least that is the position being taken by former Boston big man and current Celtics broadcaster Brian Scalabrine.
The 2008 Celtics champ likes what he has been seeing out of Tatum as he appears to be gearing up to prepare for the 2025 postseason, and has been sharing his opinion that this level of engagement from the St. Louis native makes Boston the favorite to win it all at the end of the 2025 NBA Finals.
The White Mamba (as Scal is sometimes called for a nickname) sat down to talk about why he feels this way in a recent video from the folks at the YouTube channel for ‘NBC Sports Boston.’ Check it out below!
