“Jayson Tatum with 46-9-4 pulled off a 2012 Miami Heat LeBron James!”: NBA Twitter reacts to the Celtics superstar dropping an uncanny ‘game 6’ King James-esque performance    

Jayson Tatum went berserk tonight, dropping 46-9-4 in a Game 6, away from home, just like his idol LeBron James once did. 

The Boston Celtics won their do-or-die game on the road tonight, all thanks to their superstar Jayson Tatum. He was in fine form tonight as he dropped a monstrous 46 points.

Tonight’s performance was eerily reminiscent of the one LeBron James dropped 10 years ago. Facing a similar situation, the King recorded a staggering 45-15-5 game to survive and punish the Celtics.

Jayson needed his A-game to push past the defending champions and he delivered. Twitter noticed the similarities and some even foreshadowed this event.

Jayson Tatum makes Celtics history, and pushes past Paul Pierce and Larry Bird!

Tatum’s 46 points tonight was the second time he recorded that in the playoffs. Only, one Celtic has done the same, Sam Jones.

Yes, you read that right! Neither Larry Bird nor Paul Pierce has multiple 45-point games for the Cs. Jayson Tatum does!

He also passed Dwyane Wade to sit 5th on most points in the playoffs by players under-25.

History on Jayson’s side. The Celtics will have a home-court advantage and they will hope that the superstar on the other team does not channel his inner LeBron James!
