Jayson Tatum revisits NBA Finals moment with new tattoo

Jayson Tatum is still on top of the world after his first NBA championship with the Boston Celtics.

In celebration of winning the franchise’s 18th title in a five-game series over the Dallas Mavericks, Tatum got some new ink, located just beneath his right shoulder blade, of himself wearing a championship hat and holding the Larry O’Brien Trophy. Written above the image is “Proverbs 3:5-6.”

Tatum is no stranger to visiting tattoo shops during the offseason. In August, he revealed a tattoo of himself hoisting the Kobe Bryant MVP award from the 2023 All-Star Game, in which he scored 55 points to set an All-Star Game record.

Tatum averaged 25.7 points and 6.3 rebounds per game during the 2024 NBA Finals. He had 31 points, 11 assists and 8 boards in the Celtics’ 106-88 Game 5 win as they clinched the title.
