Is Jayson Tatum a superstar? Jimmy Butler gives emphatic answer after Game 7

0:00 / 1:20

Jayson Tatum reacts to winning the first ever Larry Bird ECF MVP award. He remains humble, and admits that sometimes he still feels like a kid just living a dream.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum delivered when it mattered most against the Miami Heat in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

He scored 12 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter as Boston held on for a 100-96 win at FTX Arena to punch its ticket to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2010.

Tatum finished with 26 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal in 46 minutes. It was an excellent all-around performance that helped earn him the Larry Bird Trophy as Eastern Conference Finals MVP.

Here's the full schedule for Celtics-Warriors NBA Finals

Heat star Jimmy Butler had an unbelievable series and was a major reason why Miami nearly pulled off a stunning late fourth quarter comeback Sunday night. He had enormous praise for Tatum after the game.

"He does everything," Butler said. "Shoot the ball, playing the pick-and-roll, he passes the ball incredibly well, gets out in transition. He's a superstar, and he deserves that. They deserve the win. I wish them the best moving forward. He's one hell of a player, that's for damn sure."
