Jayson Tatum nears Larry Bird's scoring record

Justin Tatum has made history as the NBL's coach of the year after leading the Illawarra Hawks to a franchise-record 20-9 finish, a remarkable turnaround from a poor start last season. His promotion from assistant to head coach came just 15 months ago, and he expressed gratitude for the opportunity to coach at this level. Meanwhile, Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics is poised to break Larry Bird's record for consecutive seasons averaging over 25 points per game, currently averaging 26.9 points this season. As the Celtics head into the All-Star break, Jayson has been pivotal in their recent success, scoring an average of 35 points per game over the last three games. The Celtics have shown signs of improvement and are second in the Eastern Conference, with Jayson emphasizing the need to protect their home court moving forward. Both Tatums are making significant impacts in their respective leagues, highlighting their talents and hard work.
