Jayson Tatum said that he's motivated by winning more titles with the Celtics, and hopes to one day share the same air as Larry Bird in the franchise's storied history.

Fresh off his first NBA championship, young star Jayson Tatum held back from calling himself the greatest Celtic ever. Instead, during a chat with NBC Sports Boston, Tatum tapped Larry Bird as the franchise GOAT.

The two games that Jayson Tatum didn’t play during the Olympics are a hot topic in the NBA right now, but Tatum told NBATV’s Jared Greenberg in a recent interview that he’s not letting the situation affect his motivation. His motivation comes from within, namely his desire to etch his name into Celtics history, he said.
