Jayson Tatum is sharing candid photos of his adorable bond with his 4-year-old son Deuce. In a press conference on Tuesday, the NBA player, who welcomed Deuce into the world just six months after being selected by the Boston Celtics, talked about being a role model for a father and his strong relationship with his son.

“I believe that the biggest year of my life was 2017, the year I was drafted. I didn’t have Deuce, but that was significant because he was born in that year. I recently had a child, and I’m starting this new phase in my career,” Tatum said. “I didn’t think about sacrificing either; instead, I focused on being the greatest basketball player and father I could be. There were no rules to follow or a precise method. It ultimately came down to what was organic.””I just act in a normal way. I spend every day with him. Since I was 19 when I was drafted, I believe that being able to go through this adventure together is similar to us growing up together,” he says. “As he’s gotten older, I’m pursuing my career, and we’re growing up together while sharing these moments.” For me, that’s the most exciting aspect.”The sportsman claims to be conscious of his platform as a professional athlete and believes it’s “great” that he can serve as an inspiration to young fathers everywhere.”I believe we require more role models of that nature. In order to demonstrate that you can do both, no matter when you work or what your career is, he says, “just to have more male fathers be present and things like that.”Deuce, Tatum’s son, was born when he was 19 and has since become a major star for the Celtics and other NBA players.During the 2022 NBA All-Star Weekend in February, Tatum told reporters that he had not anticipated his son becoming so well-known.He said, “It’s cool and he enjoys it,” in a video that The Boston Globe tweeted. “People applaud when they see him at a home game every time. When he shows up for games, whether here at All-Star [Weekend] and on the road, they yell his nаme. He’s a unique individual.””On the court [I want Deuce to remember me as]… a competitor, somebody that just wаnted to win,” he further stated. He observes that every time I play, I give it everything I’ve got and do everything within my ability to help us win. Because winning is the most essential thing in team sports as he gets older, and everything else will follow.”
