Tatum, meanwhile, is soon to be the NBA face in the years to come. Last season, especially during the playoffs, Tatum surprised everyone with his stellar performance. The Celtics were shorthanded — no Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward as they entered a tough campaign. In his first exposure to pressure, Tatum played like a veteran.

And for this season, it seems that Tatum's goal is to be an all-star and at the same time, claim a ring for his team. The Celtics are considered one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. And the fact that their stars and now healthy make them more dangerous.

Through four regular-season games, Tatum has logged in 17.5 points per game, 9.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and has shot 43 percent from the field. Just like last year, he's back in the Celtics' starting line up.
