☆ NBA champion Jayson Tatum has a new $314 million contract, but he won't spend any of it: 'I remember what it's like to struggle'

Jayson Tatum is fresh off of signing the richest contract in NBA history, but don't expect the reigning champion to spend any of that $314 million. "Her and my accountant agreed," he said of the deal they made before he was drafted by the Boston Celtics in 2017. "They didn't know I'd make as much as I did off the court." The All-Star's sponsors include Nike, Gatorade, Google and Subway, and he brought in an estimated $13 million from endorsements in 2024, according to Forbes. The mother-son duo said they are careful about preserving his basketball earnings because of the financial insecurities they experienced before Tatum entered the NBA.

☆ Boston Celtics' majority owner puts team up for sale weeks after NBA championship
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-01 | by ( Lillian Rizzo | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

A "Believe in Boston" flag flies during the duck boat parade celebrating the Boston Celtics' 18th NBA championship. The Boston Celtics' ownership group announced Monday that it plans to sell the team, according to a statement posted to the Celtics' account on social media site X. The controlling family of the ownership group, Boston Basketball Partners LLC, said it intends to sell all of its shares in the team "for estate and family planning consideration." As sports franchise valuations soar, the Celtics could fetch a particularly high price. The team is among the most successful and most widely followed in U.S. professional sports, and won its NBA record 18th championship last month.

☆ Analysis, fits for all 58 NBA Draft picks from John Hollinger and Sam Vecenie

He’s going to be a killer rebounder, monster screener and will consistently establish his position even against some of the stronger NBA players. I’m done doubting Edey, even as an NBA player. As an enormous ballhandler with serious touch and incredible vision as a passer, Topić is clearly an NBA player, even if it doesn’t all translate. Shannon is an elite athlete, but the NBA game requires more nuance, especially if he continues to be an inconsistent shooter. However, I also think he’s more than just a floor spacer on offense in spot-up situations and potentially as an off-ball scorer.
