Which shoes did Jayson Tatum wear for 2023 NBA All-Star Game breakout performance? Looking at his latest Jordans!
Jayson Tatum had a breakout performance in the 2023 NBA All-Star Game. The Boston Celtics superstar went off for 55 points, the most by a player in an All-Star Game, breaking the previous record set by Anthony Davis when he dropped 52 at the 2017 All-Star Game.
Tatum shot 71.0% from the floor on 31 attempts, including 10-of-18 from deep. He tied the record for most threes in a quarter in the All-Star Game (seven) in the opening 12 minutes of the second half. The four-time All-Star couldn't have found a better way to debut his first signature shoe with the Jordan Brand.
He officially introduced "Jayson Tatum 1" before the 2023 All-Star Game. Tatum's performance helped Team Giannis secure a dominant 184-175 win over Team LeBron. It was the first time LeBron James' team lost in the All-Star game since 2018 when the NBA scrapped the East vs. West game and introduced a new format.
Giannis Antetokounmpo hit the jackpot by selecting Tatum as the No. 1 pick for his team among the starters.
Jayson Tatum continues his stellar year with a record-breaking All-Star Game performance; wins Kobe Bryant All-Star MVP honors
Jayson Tatum is having an MVP-caliber season with the Boston Celtics. He is averaging a career-high 30.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game. Tatum has led Boston to a league-best 42-17 record.
The Celtics are the frontrunners to return to the NBA Finals and potentially win it all this season. Tatum has emerged as one of the NBA's best leaders off the court, rallying the Celtics to new heights.
Tatum bagged the Kobe Bryant All-Star MVP honors this season. The last two recipients of the award, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Steph Curry, went on to win finals MVPs and championships the same year, so Tatum will be hoping that theory stays strong.
