Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum showed some support for his alma mater, Duke, ahead of March Madness. Prior to the start of the tournament, Tatum, who played one season at Duke from 2016-17, sent pairs of his Jordan Brand shoes to each player on the Duke women's basketball team.

Blue Devils coach Kara Lawson announced the gift to the team saying Tatum is her favorite NBA player because he's a winner. She went on to say: "I admired him. He admires you guys too. He sent you some of his shoes."
