Jayson Tatum's Luxurious Car Is Going Viral Before NBA Finals Game 5
Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics are back at TD Garden, looking to close out the NBA Finals with a 3-1 series lead. The Celtics got blown out in Game 4, 122-84, but they're still favored to leave the night with the Larry O'Brien trophy.
Tatum pulled up to the game, ready for business. His arrival in a Maybach was turning heads online, with fans blowing up the comments on the luxurious vehicle. The car has an estimated value of $300,000, and customized vehicles in this particular Mercedes style reach close to $450,000.
His current contract was signed at around $163 million in 2020, with Tatum's annual NBA salary coming in at around $32 million per season.

Tatum is clearly doing well for himself off the court, but one thing missing in his young career is an NBA title. The 26-year-old has already reached the Finals once in his career, in 2022, and was unable to come away with a ring.
The Celtics have a commanding lead in 2024 behind Tatum and his running mate, Jaylen Brown. They may have to deal with the talent of elite guards like Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving on the other end, but Boston courts one of the best starting lineups the league has seen in years.
Tatum, Brown, Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, and Kristaps Porzingis have been virtually unstoppable all season. If the Celtics can secure the title on Monday, it will be the franchise's first league championship since 2008.
