The face of the current Celtics team is Jayson Tatum, who is only 24 years old. He has made quite a few of ESPN’s ‘best players under 25’ lists.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Celtics stars are also very young. Jaylen Brown is 25-years-old and this year’s DPOY Marcus Smart is 28. As a result, each one of them was either in their late or early teens when the Celtics played the finals in 2010.

Their unseen pictures from back then have recently gone viral on the internet after the Celtics made the finals this season. Here are some of the best reactions.
