Jayson Tatum makes NBA history signing the largest contract extension in history for $314M breaking teammate Jaylen Green’s record.
After years of making it to the postseason only to end up heartbroken, the Boston Celtics are the 2024 NBA Champions. Furthermore, Boston now holds the record for most NBA Championships with 18 while their rivals the Lakers sit at 17. Heading into the 2023-2024 season Boston made history signing Jaylen Brown to the highest contract in NBA history for $285 Million.
His contract has proved to be an immediate payoff and the franchise reportedly isn’t done.
According to Complex, Brown’s historic contract will be a thing of the past thanks to a familiar face. Reportedly Jayson Tatum will sign a five-year contract extension worth $314 Million.
Before you ask how are they able to afford this it’s simple. The Boston Celtics’ biggest stars are homegrown and not a side project created through trades and terrible contracts. In sports we often hear “trust the process” and the 2024 NBA Champions are a product of that mindset. With both superstars paid Boston shouldn’t have any internal roadblocks in the way of delivering back-to-back championships.
Unfortunately for the rest of the NBA, nothing will motivate two young champions more than being the two highest-paid in their profession.
