On July 1, 2024, just after helping the Celtics secure their 18th championship, Jayson Tatum agreed to a record-breaking deal with at least $314 million over 5 years, making it the richest contract in NBA history. The 26-year-old Tatum, a key player in the championship series averaging 22.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 7.2 assists, decided to continue with the 'Green Team' with a contract that surpasses his teammate Jaylen Brown's $340 million deal. Tatum, a five-time NBA All-Star drafted by the Celtics in 2017, is poised to lead Team USA in both the upcoming Paris Olympics and has secured a significant pay increase for the 2025-26 season with this new contract.
