NBA Fans Deliver Two-Word Message To Jayson Tatum After Game 3 Performance

Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum has received massive scrutiny for his play in the 2024 NBA playoffs. Many analysts and media members called out Tatum, mentioning he's not on the same level as guys like Jalen Brunson, Anthony Edwards, and Luka Doncic in the postseason.

Tatum's taken a back seat for a majority of games in the playoffs, but much of that has to do with the Celtics' deep roster. They have multiple guys who can be the leading scorer on any night, taking pressure off Tatum.

While this would serve as a good case for Tatum since he doesn't have to exert so much energy and he can be preserved, Tatum answered the call in Game 3.

People wanted a big night from Tatum and they got it. In one of the most important games of the Celtics' season, Tatum posted a game-high 33 points and 13 rebounds.

NBA fans are all hitting Tatum with the same message after his big-time performance, all over social media Tatum's getting a "welcome back" note.
