Jayson Tatum played in his fifth straight All-Star Game on Sunday, but the biggest moment of the day came before tip-off.
The current leader of the Boston Celtics shared
a moment with Celtics legend Larry Bird, who was sitting courtside in Indianapolis.
Mics and cameras caught the moment the two exchanged pleasantries.
It’s an honor to meet you,” Tatum told Bird.
Despite Tatum now being in his seventh season in Boston, it was the first time he had crossed paths with Bird, and after the game, he made clear just how much the moment meant to him.
