Jayson Tatum’s YouTube channel has been a bit of an oddity for the past decade.
It contained just two videos that he posted in 2013, when he was a freshman in high school at Chaminade, the most recent of which was a tutorial on how to tie a tie.
Now, 11 years later, Tatum has decided to continue the theme with a video on how to tie your shoes, complete with similar, and dated, graphics.
Posted Friday, the new video has nearly half a million views as of Saturday.
“What up guys, JT here again with another tutorial video 11-12-some-odd years later and we back,” Tatum said in the new video. “First it was how to tie a tie, and clearly you guys loved that. So now we here with the JT2 vortexes.”
He used his own Jordan Tatum 2 Vortex shoes for the video, a testament to how far he’s come since that last video in 2013.

It’s the third video ever posted by Tatum: The other, also from 2013, featured classmate Matthew Tkachuk, now an NHL star.
That video, as columnist Ben Hochman wrote, was for a class project.
The original video from high school on tie tying has 8 million views.
After the top-seeded Celtics advanced to the second round of the NBA playoffs, Tatum has a bit of extra time. Boston dispatched Miami four games to one and awaits the winner of Sunday’s Game 7 between Cleveland and Orlando.
Tatum averaged 21.8 points, 10.4 rebounds and 5.4 assists in that first-round series, but coach Joe Mazzulla isn’t concerned.
“His defense was tremendous,” Mazzulla said, according to masslive.com. “I thought his pick-and-roll defense on the ball-handler was really good. I thought his defensive rebounding was really good. I thought his discipline to fight taking difficult shots vs. making the extra pass, I thought he showed that. I think the thing he’s really grown at this year is it’s going to look different every night, it’s going to look different every series. He was really able to adjust this series and find other ways to impact the game.”
The Celtics are favored to win the NBA title, which would be Tatum’s first.
