  • Jayson Tatum is a doting father to his 5-year-old son, Deuce
  • Jayson And Deuce Tatum were playing around on the basketball court
  • The Boston Celtics superstar hilariously and ruthlessly blocked his son’s shot attempt

Jayson Tatum may not be the highest-paid player on the Boston Celtics for now, but he is the face of the franchise. And apart from dominating on the court, the 25-year-old is a wonderful person off it as well. 

Everyone knows how much Tatum dotes on his 5-year-old son, Deuce. But just because he loves him, doesn’t mean that he doesn’t want to teach him the things he needs to learn either. 

A video went viral on social media showing Deuce Tatum trying to put a shot up against his dad on the basketball court. And while some might have let him make it, Jayson Tatum sent it flying out with a massive block. 

Jayson Tatum’s son is nicknamed Deuce and that’s how the NBA world knows him, but his official name is Jayson Jr. He was born in 2017, and since the 2020 NBA Bubble has become a fan favorite with his appearances at his father’s games. 

For his part, Jayson Tatum takes every opportunity to let the world know that he is always supporting Deuce. His son’s name is written on all of his sneakers, and Tatum is often spotted spending time with him. He is an excellent role model for a lot of his peers and the younger NBA stars. 


Jayson Tatum Has Done The Same Thing To Deuce Before

Jayson Tatum still has a long way left to go in his career, but he will certainly be hoping that his son Deuce also takes to basketball. He is instilling a competitive edge in him early by not letting him off easy when they’re on the court. A similar video went viral last year where Tatum was seen blocking his son’s shot attempt

He has called Deuce the ‘real superstar’ in Boston in the past among other things, and their relationship is special as anyone who watches their interactions can tell. Jayson Tatum narrowly missed out on making the NBA Finals again last season, and he will be hoping that when he’s playing around with Deuce in 2024, it will be as a champion.
