 Jayson Tatum Gets Star Struck Meeting Larry Bird at the All-Star Game

When talking about the matchup between the current and former Boston Celtics greats, Jayson Tatum exhibited a youthful enthusiasm. Before the 2024 NBA All-Star Game began, Jayson Tatum told Jamal Crawford that he had met three-time league MVP, three-time champion, and Hall of Famer Larry Bird on Sunday in Indianapolis, Indiana.


When talking about their meeting, the five-time All-Star couldn’t suppress his youthful joy, telling Crawford:
“I met Larry Bird tonight for the first time. I never met Larry Bird in my life. So, I got to meet him, and that just gave me, like, I was anxious, so I’ve got some juices flowing for the game right now.”

The 2023 NBA All-Star Game MVP finished with 20 points, three assists, three rebounds, a steal, and a block in the Eastern Conference’s 211-186 victory, one year after he set a record with 55 points in the league’s premier exhibition game.

After the game, JT spoke about meeting his hero. He gushed over the fact that he could meet him. He said,

“I got a chance to go meet him and tell him how much of an honor it was to meet him, and he told me he was looking forward to meeting me. That was crazy to hear him say that…Obviously, what he means to the game, what he means to the city of Boston and the Celtics. He’s the ultimate Celtic, so it was an honor to meet him.”
