The link in the statistics of the Playoffs 2022 is linking to 2018. "Change 2022 to 2022"

And one line below the link to the Boston Celtics season is referring to the 2017-18 season. "Change Boston to Boston" Zuebi (talk) 09:53, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Awkward language

"Not ranked as high as other prospects underrated on draft boards,"

Shouldn't that be "were rated" rather than "underrated"?

I'll let you all make the correction. Thank you!

Add Achievements Tab Similar to Other NBA Players

I want to add an achievements tab to consolidate all of his statistical records at his young age such as having the most points in a game 7 and having the most playoff points by a player under the age of 27, etc... Similar to pages of players like Luka Doncic DaBoss4303 (talk) 04:30, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

In the "NBA Achievements" section, specifically "Playoffs" tab, add that Jayson Tatum is one of two players since 1973-1974, alongside Lebron James, to lead all players in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks for a playoff series. The evidence is an ESPN graphic shown after the accomplishment, it wasn't highly published. Link for evidence: https://imgur.com/Xvuw3Yy Bsteele2002 (talk) 07:17, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. If ESPN has an article with the same claim that would work, but we can't use a user-generated screenshot. Jamedeus (talk) 21:19, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

There are significant nicknames that Jayson Tatum is commonly known by, including but not limited to, the Green Mamba, The Anomaly, and the Green Gooner (Gooner is a term for someone who makes a lot of baskets). As someone who has worked in the Boston Celtics marketing and statistical analysis team for 35 years, I believe that nicknames are the best way to spread a positive outlook on a player that has significant pressure and unfair bias.

He launched a candy brand called Small Wins (low-sugar gummies)

I just thought this was a significant thing about him:

Tatum's son, Jayson Jr. (commonly nicknamed "Deuce"), was born in 2017 to his high school girlfriend Toriah Lachell.

Note: add child's mother's name. Source is second source already listed on the sentence. Clarifies that child's mother is not Ella Mai, the girlfriend named later in the paragraph. 98.206.147.182 (talk) 11:53, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

 Not done: Generally don't mention non-notable people's names per WP:BLPNAME (which might apply to the son too). In any event, his child w/ Mai is stated to be from 2024, which makes it non-ambiguous with the 2017 son.—Bagumba (talk) 12:34, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
