Jaylen when asked about how much Tatum’s success motivates him: “I don’t look at it like he motivates me, I’m supporting him. We’re on the same team…It’s not a contrast, one against the other. A lot of times people try to dichotomize Jaylen and Tatum. We’re on the same team.”

Tatum's TS% just won't stop rising: OCT (48%), NOV (52%), DEC (56%), JAN (57%), FEB (65%)

Most regular-season “one shy” games in which the player missed a triple-double by one point, rebound, assist, steal or block: Oscar (71), Magic (64), JKidd (57), Bird (56), Lebron (51)
