Tatum shares a genuine reaction to being All-Star starter for the fourth time.
Jayson Tatum has been selected an Eastern Conference starter for the 2024 NBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis, and he does not take the honor lightly.
This is Tatum’s fourth consecutive year as a starter in the game.
“It means the world. “I never get used to it, and I never want to take it for granted,” Tatum told reporters following Thursday’s victory over the Miami HThank you to all of the supporters. There are so many guys to vote for, and I continue to be elected one of the top males. It’s quite cool. I believe it’s critical to appreciate modest victories during the season. Obviously, there are more goals you want to achieve, but being an All-Star never gets old, and I am glad for that.”at. “As a child, that was my dream. Growing up, I watched All-Star Weekend every year and dreamed of one day playing in the game. So being voted in as a starter, sixth consecutive year in the game, it doesn’t seem real at times.
Tatum, who was named MVP of the 2023 NBA All-Star Game in Utah after scoring a record 55 points, will be making his fifth consecutive All-Star participation. Paul Pierce was the last Celtics player to appear in five straight All-Star games, from 2007-08 to 2011-12.
We don’t know if Tatum’s Celtics teammates will join him for All-Star Weekend. All-Star reserves are chosen by the 30 head coaches. These players will be named on February 1.
Celtics’ wing Jaylen Brown deserves another All-Star spot, but you could also make a solid case for center Kristaps Porzingis and point guard Derrick White.
