Boston Celtics Fans Brutally Call Out Jayson Tatum's 'The Anomaly' Poster
The Boston Celtics have made it clear that Jayson Tatum is their outright leader after trading Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers. As a result, all eyes will be on Tatum to see if he can really lead the Celtics to a deep postseason run without the help of Brown. Last result: Boston Celtics 100-109 Philadelphia 76ers (2026-05-02).
What Happened?
The Celtics social media team recently posted a 'The Anomaly' poster inspired by Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey'. The poster went viral on X, but for all the wrong reasons, as NBA fans brutally called out this stunt. "This is getting really embarrassing," a fan wrote. While another added, "You guys aren't helping the Tatum corny discourse."
Why It Matters for Boston Celtics
Tatum has earned several nicknames throughout his career, but 'The Anomaly' has always been viewed as a rather weird one for the 28-year-old. The poster has sparked a heated debate among Celtics fans, with many expressing their disappointment and frustration. "Bro, not even the MVP of his own team until y'all traded Jaylen lmao," a third fan stated.
What Comes Next?
The Celtics' decision to create a poster inspired by a movie tie-in has raised eyebrows among fans. While some may see it as a creative way to promote Tatum, others view it as a misstep. "Bro, last time Tatum did a movie tie-in, he tore his Achilles," a fourth fan pointed out. The poster has certainly generated a lot of buzz, but it remains to be seen whether it will have a positive impact on the team's image.
Boston Celtics Recent Form
The Celtics have been struggling of late, with a recent form of 0W-0D-5L (LLLLL, most recent first). They will need to regroup and refocus if they hope to make a deep run in the playoffs. With Tatum at the helm, they may have a chance to turn their season around. But for now, the 'The Anomaly' poster remains a topic of discussion among fans.
