After notching his fourth career triple-double, Jayson Tatum said he wants to be in the same conversation as players like LeBron James.

Tatum has been considered the best player on the Celtics for a while now. Even though he didn't win the NBA Finals MVP or even the Eastern Conference Finals MVP, he is considered better than Brown. Now that he's won a championship, does he have anything more to prove? The answer is yes, and the prime example of why happened over the summer.

Tatum wants to be the greatest Celtic of them all, and for him, that means surpassing Larry Bird, his fellow Midwesterner.

I always want to be the best. He’s, in my opinion, the best Celtic ever. He did it the right way, and he’s a great guy to chase in a sense.”

Jayson Tatum has stressed for years that he always aims to be the best. When it comes to becoming one of the greatest Celtics ever, he said he's chasing one legend in particular.

"If you aspire to chase (Bird)," Tatum said, "it comes with a level of focus and motivation every single day to be the best you can."
