Among all the children of NBA superstars, Jayson Tatum’s son, Deuce, has carved out a special place in the hearts of fans. Often seen courtside or celebrating with his father, Deuce has become a fan favorite with his playful personality. Recently, he stole the spotlight once again by delivering a brutally honest remark about his father in front of NBA legend Kevin Garnett.

In a video shared on X, Kevin Garnett met with Jayson Tatum and his son. The Hall of Famer turned to the young Deuce and playfully challenged him.

“I can get a bucket on you right now, Deuce. What’s up?” Garnett said.

While most kids might shy away from such an intense presence, Deuce proved he was unfazed. Instead of backing down, he hit Garnett with an unexpected and brutally honest take that even caught his father off guard.

“My daddy couldn’t do any of those dunks,” Deuce confidently responded.

Boston gets to work teambuilding with Gallinari deal, Brogdon trade with Kory Waldron
The Boston Celtics were, by most accounts, not going to make much if any moves until the weekend got here. But whether that was a smoke screen or whether a happy accident set the Celtics team building wheels into motion, the team that represented the NBA’s Eastern Conference in the 2022 NBA Finals just got quite a bit better. It started with the team landing long-coveted veteran wing Danilo Gallinari, and went into hyperdrive with the trade for Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon, the Celtics sending out a top-12 protected first-round pick, center Daniel Theis, wing Aaron Nesmith, and three rarely-played deep rotation players. To get a feel for how Brogdon will impact a Finals squad that gave up no core players to bring on the Indiana floor general, we brought on host of the Off the Glass “Full Access Pacers” podcast, Kory Waldron. Your usual hosts Alex Goldberg and Justin Quinn linked up with Waldron to talk all things Brogdon trade, Celtics team building, and plenty more offseason action.

CL Pod 59: The Boston Celtics Aren’t Dead – They’re Feeling Better, Actually
The Boston Celtics aren’t dead – they’re feeling better actually. Excuse the Monty Python reference, but with all the injuries this team has managed to keep going with yet still be in the hunt for the ultimate prize, Python’s Holy Grail seems pretty apt. The starters have shown signs of life despite being left for dead by the national media, and the second unit keeps on fighting despite losing several key parts, much like the Black Knight. But what other moves has Boston made to address their significant lack of depth, and how are the playoffs looking this week? Maybe most interesting of all, why are beat writers penning missives to their lack of yearning for a departed former player six months after said exit? All these questions and more are answered by Luis Gonzales and Justin Quinn in this week’s podcast.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

Colin Cowherd Questions Jayson Tatum’s Superstar Status

Sports analyst Colin Cowherd recently sparked controversy by dismissing Tatum as a true superstar. Moreover, Cowherd made his stance clear on The Herd, using statistics and marketing influence as his reasoning.

“I’m just saying he’s not in that class, and all the numbers prove it. And by the way, you know who else proves it? Shoe companies. LeBron, Steph, KD, and Ja Morant have their own brand. Tatum doesn’t. He’s got a shoe under Michael’s brand,” Cowherd said.

However, Tatum’s sneaker deal is indeed under Jordan Brand rather than having his own independent line. But marketing decisions don’t define a player’s greatness. More importantly, Tatum’s performance on the court tells a different story. This season, the Celtics star averages 27.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game.
