WATCH: Jayson Tatum wins All-Star skills challenge with half-court shot

At just 20 years old, Celtics forward Jayson Tatum showed up and showed off in the Taco Bell Skills Challenge during NBA All-Star Weekend, hitting a half-court shot to take home the trophy.

Tatum was falling behind in his race to win the challenge, and decided to go for it all with one last "Hail Mary," heaving one from half court to go for the win.

The shot rang off the backboard and in, drawing a reaction from the crowd and the announcers in the process.

Tatum said afterwards that the trophy was going in his mother's house, showing his support for the woman who raised him during his journey to the NBA.

The win adds to an already-impressive All-Star Weekend for the Celtics sophomore, who contributed to a win for Team US in the Rising Stars Game Friday night.
