#1 Jayson Tatum
This is probably a poster LeBron would never want to watch again. The Rookie Jayson Tatum who was named to the All-NBA First Team put LeBron on a vicious poster in the Eastern Conference Finals of the 2018 NBA playoffs.
Jayson Tatum, who put the team on his back in the absence of guard Kyrie Irving, had pretty much carried the Celtics to the Conference Finals with some strong performances in the playoffs. In the game 7 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Tatum did something no one would ever imagine doing it to the King James. In the forth and the final quarter, with the Celtics down by 4, Tatum drove in, took flight and showed no remorse.

It did not end with the poster as he chest-bumped LeBron and stared him down. The TD Garden erupted on seeing the rookie throw it down one of the greatest players to ever play the game of basketball. The Celtics went on to lose the game, 79-87 and the Cavaliers made it to their fourth straight NBA Finals matchup against the Golden State Warriors.
