Tatum scored 51 points in that game with 13 rebounds and five assists. During the 42 minutes that he played in the game, Tatum was invincible, to say the least.

After his heroic performance on the court, Tatum is winning hearts off the court as well. The 4x NBA All-Star is now friends with the former varsity star, AJ Quetta.

Recently the hockey star announced that he has become good friends with one of the NBA’s finest young talents. The two motivate and inspire each other and Quetta feels over the moon about his friendship with Tatum.

Tatum told his friend to “keep believing” and “keep pushing”, as he continues to make great progress in his recovery. The Celtics star also had some deep and spiritual advice for the young hockey star. He told Quetta that he should continue to believe as believing is the most important step toward progress. Tatum even compared it to his quests on the hardwood. He said that believing is what gets him through all the battles on the court.
