Jayson Tatum was asked about his aspirations in the NBA this season. Speaking to the media, Tatum noted that the Celtics have an amazing roster, with several players putting up strong numbers on a nightly basis.

The Boston Celtics are one of the best teams in the league. They sit at second in the East but hit a bit of a slide recently. They had lost two of their last four games, which, for them, constitutes a slide.

Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics started slowly, tussling early with the Chicago Bulls. But the defending NBA champions came on and prevailed 123-98 on Saturday night, with Tatum's 43-point, 16-rebound and 10-assist effort earning the five-time All-Star comparisons to former Celtics great and Hall of Famer Larry Bird.
