The Boston Celtics have begun the season well. They are one of the youngest teams and have arguably the best roster in the league.

Gordon Hayward and Kyrie Irving are back to full fitness and their young core of Jaylen Brown, Terry Rozier and Marcus Smart are doing well. One player who has stood out has been Jason Taytum.

He had a fantastic Playoff series last year and showed no signs of being afraid of the moment or being under the spotlight as he really took it to LeBron James and the Cavaliers in an epic seven-game series.

Tatum has started the season on a high note and is averaging 21.0 points a game. The game he played against the New York Knicks yesterday reminded everyone of Kobe Bryant. He took over down the stretch and hit a clutch fade away to seal the game for the Celtics.

Jayson Tatum has started the season with some mamba mentality. He will be even more dangerous as the season goes on.
