“Jaylen Brown is Black Panther, Jayson Tatum is Vision, I’m Spider-Man”: Grant Williams hilariously assigns a Marvel character to each member of the Boston Celtics

After the clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Grant Williams went on to assign every Boston Celtics teammate of his with a Marvel character.

The Boston Celtics have been on a roll lately. Currently one of the hottest teams in the league, Jayson Tatum have managed to win 22 out of their last 26 games, defeating some powerhouses like the Sixers, the Heat, the Nets, the Nuggets, the Grizzlies, and the Warriors during this span.

Tonight, the Cs put on yet another incredible team performance at the Paycom Center against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Despite giving away 123 points, Ime Udoka’s boys managed to win the contest by 9 points.

The All-Star duo of JT and Jaylen Brown had yet another sensational performance, putting up 36/7/6 and a 25-point performance, respectively. However, it was Grant Williams who had one of the best outings of his career. Playing a total of 37:50 minutes, Williams went on to record the first-ever 20-point, 10-rebound double-double of his career.
