The Celtics still think they can make the NBA Finals again this year. Which team is the biggest threat to them completing that goal?
Tatum wants to be the greatest Celtic of them all, and for him, that means surpassing Larry Bird, his fellow Midwesterner.
Cleveland will try to keep its six-game road win streak alive when the Cavaliers play Boston. The teams square off Friday for the first time this season.
"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."
