The best player for the Boston Celtics, Jayson Tatum, is renowned for making things tough for his opponents, and it seems that he does the same with his kid Deuce. The five-year-old son of Tatum is well-known to most NBA fans because he frequently spends time in the locker room and at Celtics games with his father. They might not be used to witnessing Deuce, though, as he emphatically swatted away his jump shot. Attendees of Tatum’s youth basketball camp at Chaminade College Preparatory school in St. Louis, Missouri, where he previously attended high school, had a front-row ticket to witness exactly that.

After Tatum thwarted his son’s shot the same way the Golden State Warriors thwarted Tatum’s chances of winning the 2022 NBA Finals, many of the campers were observed chuckling.
In this offseason, the Celtics have made sure to surround Tatum and his teammates who helped them win the Eastern Conference Finals with additional talent, namely former Indian Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon and former Atlanta Hawks big Danilo Gallinari.
“If I said no, what kind of competitor would I be?” When questioned about his team’s chances of winning the championship, Tatum said in an interview with NBC on Thursday.
