Boston Celtics small forward Jayson Tatum is ending the first half of the season with a bang. He put Los Angeles Clippers big man JaMychal Green on a poster.

Tatum, who is heading to his first All-Star game this season, is averaging 22.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.0 assists on the season. He's always been a talented scorer, but Tatum has become more efficient as this season has gone along.

Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge is starting to look really smart for not trading Tatum and Jaylen Brown for some of the superstars who have requested trades over the past few seasons, that’s for sure.

The Celtics have a good shot at winning the Eastern Conference this season. For that to happen, Kemba Walker, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Gordon Hayward all have to play at a high-level once the playoffs start.
