Jayson Tatum on Tom Brady: “Tom is the best. He has every reason to be arrogant and all those things, but truly down to earth. He texts me from time-to-time. He watches the games.”

January 19, 1998 if you were wondering.
That’s the last time the Knicks beat the Celtics four straight times, a feat can they accomplish in the season opener tonight.
If you’re wondering if Jayson Tatum was alive the last time the Knicks did this?
He was not. – 4:16 PM
