HE IS ONLY 19 YEARS OLD!!!! Jayson Tatum called win with an improbable bank shot to beat the buzzer and give the Boston Celtics a 122-121 win over the Milwaukee Bucks in their season opener on Wednesday night. Tatum took the ball off the inbounds, dribbled a bit and stutter-stepped back before draining the game-winning shot for the Celtics. Giannis Antetokounmpo had a chance to tie the game after being fouled, but missed the second free throw for the L. Check out the Tatum video here:

What a game! Giannis, the two-time reigning MVP, misses the last free throw to lose the game. The Greek Freak finished with 35 points and 13 rebounds in the loss. Tatum finished with 30 points and 7 rebounds for the Celtics. Jaylen Brown was the leading scorer for Boston with 33 points with Kemba Walker (knee) sidelined. The Bucks were down big but stormed back in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Celtics 37-21.
Poor, poor Giannis ....
