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.

On Thursday evening, the Boston Celtics beat the Philadelphia 76ers by a score of 124-104. Jayson Tatum led the way with 15 points, 11 rebounds, ten assists and one steal while shooting 5/13 from the field and 2/7 from the three-point range in 35 minutes of playing time.

"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."
