Jayson Christopher Tatum Jr., affectionately known as “Deuce” by Jayson Tatum fans, has become a familiar presence at Boston Celtics games. At just six years old, he often accompanies his father to the TD Garden to watch him lead the Celtics. Given his father’s profession, it comes as no surprise that young Tatum has already developed a keen interest in basketball.
Jayson Tatum occasionally shares photos and videos of his son playing basketball, showcasing his early skills. Like many passionate sports fathers, Tatum has undoubtedly influenced his son’s love for the game. It wouldn’t be surprising if Tatum Jr. becomes a serious basketball player in the future.
Recent news suggests that Jayson Tatum is already contemplating a basketball plan for “Deuce” at this early stage of his son’s life. He is reportedly considering seeking the assistance of renowned NBA skills coach Drew Hanlen to determine the best path for his son’s basketball development.
Taking inspiratiоn frоm LeBrоn James, whо used tо bring his sоns Brоnny and Bryce tо his basketball games, Tatum knоws the impоrtance оf nurturing his sоn’s skills frоm a yоung age. LeBrоn’s effоrts have paid оff, as his eldest sоn, LeBrоn James Jr., is nоw playing cоllege basketball fоr the USC Trоjans and may sооn turn prоfessiоnal. The yоungest sоn has alsо made a nаme fоr himself at Sierra Canyоn, the same schооl his elder brоther attended.
While Jayson Tatum may not be aiming for the same path as the James family, it is clear that he wants to help develop his son’s skills and foster his love for basketball. However, given Tatum Jr.’s early exposure and potential, there is a high likelihood that he could emerge as a star in the making.
In Boston, Jayson Tatum’s son is already a star in his own right. The adorable youngster is a familiar face at TD Garden and often joins the players during warm-ups, occasionally running around on the court. Opposing players even make an effort to greet him, and whenever he appears on the big screen, he receives a resounding round of applause from the crowd.
Even before Deuce establishes himself as a player, he has already captured the hearts of basketball fans. If he proves to have talent in the sport, it’s easy to imagine his fan base growing exponentially in the future.
