The Boston Celtics star forward Jayson Tatum talked about winning the Kobe Bryant MVP award, breaking the All-Star Game scoring record with 55 points, and playing one on one vs. Jaylen Brown late in the third quarter in the most dramatic moment of the game.

“We were just trying to be competitive a little bit,” Tatum said of his battle with Brown. “Trying to stay safe, but have some fun with it. Show JB he can’t score on me.”

Tatum discussed winning the MVP after Team Giannis’ victory over Team LeBron:

“It means the world when you think of all the legends and great players that have played in this game,” Tatum said. “And in all honesty, records are meant to be broken. So I’ll own it for as long as I can, but I’m certain somebody will come along in a couple of years and try to break it.”
