Celtics’ Jayson Tatum is lauded with high praise from basketball legend Kevin Durant ahead of their rematch against the Suns.

Durant expressed his seasoned perspective, noting the transition of generational talent within the league, acknowledging the emergence of younger players mirroring the achievements of their predecessors. At 35 years old and nearing 1,000 regular season games, Durant recognizes himself as part of the veteran cohort. Despite still performing at a high level, evidenced by his recent 45-point performance against the Celtics, Durant’s team, the Suns, fell short in the game, prompting contemplation about the latter stage of his NBA career, possibly within the next two to three years. Regarding Tatum, Durant envisions a bright future, foreseeing him as a dominant force in the league for the next decade or more, leaving a significant mark on the sport’s history.
