At the rate his fame is growing these days, Boston Celtics All-Star forward Jayson Tatum might not even be the most famous member of his family among Celtics fans. Speaking with the media in the midst of the 2022 NBA All-Star Week festivities, Tatum fielded a number of questions about his son Deuce, a frequent sideline fixture and fan favorite.
“People cheer when they see him and scream his name when he comes to games on the road and here at All-Star,” related the St. Louis native about Deuce. “He has his own personality. The plus of having a kid at 19 is that we’re growing up together.”
Tatum had plenty more to say about his extremely popular son in the interview, much of which was captured in the clip embedded below by Boston Glove Celtics beat reporter Gary Washburn.
