Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum just came out with the performance of his career on Friday in an amazing comeback victory against the San Antonio Spurs. This prompted a ton of praise for Tatum, who dropped 60 points in what was truly an epic display. Even teammate Jaylen Brown was at a loss for words as he talked about Tatum's heroics after the game.
Brown had only a six-word reaction to Tatum's unforgettable performance on Friday night:
Jaylen Brown on Jayson Tatum: "That boy is destined for greatness."

Jaylen Brown hit the nail on the head here. There's not much more to say about Jayson Tatum's career night except that it only serves as further proof of his path to greatness. Let's not forget that Tatum is just 23 years of age right now, but the Celtics youngster has already established himself as one of the best all-around players in the NBA.
Tatum finished Friday's victory on 20-of-37 shooting, to go along with eight rebounds, five assists, a block, and zero turnovers in what felt like a flawless performance for him. The 6-foot-8 forward also went 5-of-7 from distance and 15-of-17 from the charity stripe as he almost single-handedly willed the Celtics to victory.
More noteworthy is the fact that such performance came after a horrible first-half by the Celtics, who entered the halftime break down by 29 points. They were so bad that even the home fans at the TD Garden started booing them in the first half.
Tatum and Co. came out with a vengeance in the second half and the rest, as they say, is history.
