Michael Jordan and Jayson Tatum attend a Jordan Brand event in Paris. Michael Jordan and Jayson Tatum were recently sighted together in Paris at a Jordan Brand event. Tatum, who in July of this year inked a contract with Jordan Brand, made his shoe debut in April 2023 with the Jordan Tatum 1. Attendees included Russell Westbrook, Luka Doncic, Zion Williamson, and other NBA players who are connected to the Jordan brand.

In the social media video shared by the brand, Jordan is seen amiably embracing Tatum. As the rising star solidifies his status as one of the NBA’s best players, this event emphasizes the close bond between Tatum and the Jordan brand.

In previous seasons, Tatum has been a strong candidate for the NBA’s Most Valuable Player title. He has finished in the top six votes every year since 2022. The previous season, he averaged 30.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game, earning him a spot on the All-NBA First Team.

Zach Lowe and Kevin Pelton, two NBA commentators, have named Tatum as the front-runner for MVP this season, especially if the Boston Celtics win the Eastern Conference or the league title as the top seed. Tatum is a great contender for the coveted MVP award because of his ongoing development and improvement as well as his solid relationship with the Jordan brand.
