Star Boston Celtics swingman Jayson Tatum had an especially tough relationship with his father, Justin, growing up. His dad’s tough love on the basketball court sometimes crossed the line into being abusive. And while the St. Louis native went through some hard times as a result of that behavior from his father, he also believes the experiences with his dad made him a tougher NBA player.

Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear the interview on how his relationship with his father made him who he is today in full.
