BREAKING NEWS: Celtics Power Forward Jayson Tatum Discovers Secret to Dunking from Half Court—Credits “Mom’s Lasagna………Read more🏀

In a moment that left fans and analysts speechless, Boston Celtics power forward **Jayson Tatum** defied physics during last night’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks — soaring from just past the half-court line to throw down an *unbelievable* dunk that had the TD Garden crowd in total disbelief.

But what stunned everyone even more was his explanation in the post-game press conference.

> “Honestly, man, it’s the lasagna,” Tatum said with a straight face. “My mom made it the night before the game. Extra cheese, extra sauce… I woke up feeling different.”

Teammates confirmed that Tatum had been “weirdly confident” during warmups, reportedly telling Jaylen Brown, *”If I can eat three layers of that lasagna and not pass out, I can definitely dunk from half court.”*

### Scientists Want Answers

Sports scientists are scrambling to make sense of the feat. Dr. Emily Nguyen of MIT’s Department of Athletic Physics said, “There is no current model in biomechanics that explains what Tatum just did. Unless… unless he’s hiding jet boosters in his sneakers.”

Nike has already issued a statement denying any illegal footwear enhancements, although the company did quietly trademark “Lasagna-Fueled Flight” hours after the game.

### Lasagna Craze Sweeps Boston

Following the viral moment, lasagna sales across New England skyrocketed overnight. Local Italian restaurants reported record orders, and Uber Eats servers briefly crashed from overwhelming demand for “Tatum-Style Lasagna.”

Mama Tatum, who remains humble about her culinary superpowers, said in a short phone interview:

> “I just cook with love. And four types of cheese.”

### Coach Joe Mazzulla Weighs In

Celtics Head Coach Joe Mazzulla didn’t hesitate to support the new pre-game ritual.

> “If lasagna gets us 40 points and a half-court dunk, we’re putting it on the meal plan. Period.”

### What’s Next?

Rumors are already circulating that Tatum may attempt a **full-court dunk** next week if Mama Tatum adds garlic bread to the pregame meal.
