Before turning 25, famous NBA player Jayson Tatum recently accomplished incredible feats that very few people in NBA history have ever achieved. He has been named in a new list of the Top 100 NBA Players of All Time.
The list, shared by a major sports outlet, Bleacher Report, includes many of the NBA’s biggest legends. One can find Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the list. Now, the player from the Boston Celtics got the honor.
Jayson Tatum joins NBA legends in Bleacher Report’s all-time Top 100 players list
Due to its excess subjectivity, the "Top 100 NBA Players of All Time" list is often criticized. One of the primary reasons for the criticism is the way they compare players from different generations.
Recency bias is another issue, in which more recent athletes are assigned a higher rank simply because they remain fresh in everyone's memory.
Older players who were relevant during their time can get ignored or even forgotten, since they lack modern media coverage or video evidence. Recently, Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum’s name appeared on the list. Bleacher Report surprisingly ranked the NBA player at number 93. In an attempt to explain this action, the outlet’s employees stated on Monday:“Jayson Tatum’s inclusion may be seen as a rush to coronation.
He isn’t even halfway through his career. Then again, that’s kind of the point. He has been a positive-impact player on both sides of the ball since entering the league, mostly for a title contender, and already was the best player on a championship team. That is all before turning 28.”

They further opened up about how prestigious his group is, given how young he is.When healthy, Jayson Tatum is among the league's top players. He has participated in at least 70 games in six of the league's eight seasons and at least 64 in all eight. However, this new accomplishment has placed him in a spot. Nevertheless, in the end, because everyone has different ideas on who should be ranked where, lists like these are always controversial. Regardless of people’s opinion on the NBA star’s ranking, one thing is certain: Jayson Tatum has already established a significant reputation for himself and is only beginning.Also read: “Pls get a whole sleeve-” Dennis Schroder and other NBA Players react to Jayson Tatum’s new tattoo reveal
