This year marks the fourth time in a row that Tatum has been named to the selective team, an achievement only seen by the Celtics once before in Larry Bird. Tatum is now the fifth Celtics player ever to receive the First Team honors at least four times, joining Bob Cousy, Larry Bird, John Havlicek and Bill Sharman.

After a disappointing end to the Boston Celtics' season, there is a growing expectation that the roster will undergo reconstruction this summer. Brad Stevens is unlikely to keep an expensively built team together now that Jayson Tatum has been ruled out for the 2025-26 season.
