As for Tatum, he is also on his way to being considered among the best athletes in Boston sports history.

The five-time NBA All-Star has only been in the league for seven seasons.

He already has a Hall of Fame resume, as he's been to the NBA Finals twice and Eastern Conference finals five times (in addition to being a champion).
