Jayson Christopher Tatum Jr., or affectionately known as “Deuce” by Jayson Tatum fans, is already making waves in the basketball world at just six years old. As the son of Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum, Deuce has become a familiar presence at Celtics games, often accompanying his father to the TD Garden.
It’s clear that Deuce has inherited his father’s passion for basketball. Jayson Tatum frequently shares photos and videos of his son showcasing his early skills on the court. With such early exposure and guidance from his father, it wouldn’t be surprising if Deuce follows in his footsteps and becomes a serious basketball player in the future.
In fact, recent news suggests that Jayson Tatum is already considering a basketball plan for his son’s development. He is reportedly looking into seeking assistance from renowned NBA skills coach Drew Hanlen to ensure Deuce receives the best guidance for his basketball journey.
Taking inspiration from LeBron James, who involved his sons Bronny and Bryce in his basketball games, Tatum understands the importance of nurturing his son’s skills from a young age. LeBron’s efforts have paid off, as his eldest son, LeBron James Jr., is now playing college basketball for the USC Trojans and may soon turn professional. Jayson Tatum may have similar aspirations for his son, but regardless of the path they choose, it’s evident that he wants to support Deuce’s skill development and foster his love for the game.
