On Sunday, Jayson Tatum participated in his fifth consecutive All-Star Game, but the most exciting event of the day occurred before to tip-off.
While sitting courtside in Indianapolis, Celtics great Larry Bird and the current Boston Celtics leader exchanged a few words.
Mice and cameras captured the scene as the two struck up a conversation.
“Meeting you is an honor,” Tatum said to Bird.
Tatum had never met Bird before, even though he is currently in his sixth season in Boston, and he expressed after the game how much the experience meant to him.
“I won’t tell lies. On the TNT broadcast, Tatum said to former NBA guard Jamal Crawford, “I met Larry Bird for the first time tonight.” “I was nervous when I finally got to meet Larry Bird because I had never met him before.”
There’s a chance Tatum and Bird will cross paths again soon because the Celtics are presently dominating the Eastern Conference and might be headed to the NBA Finals.
