Deuce Tatum meets Kevin Garnett on the court at TD Garden

In this matchup, we all win.

For perhaps the first time in his still-young career as a celebrity in Boston Celtics circles, rising superstar Deuce Tatum met another star who shines as bright in the eyes of their fans. That would of course be Hall of Fame Celtics champion center Kevin Garnett, in TD Garden for his jersey retirement ceremony.

The two went toe-to-toe on the parquet after Deuce’s dad dropped the ball against the Mavericks earlier in the day, and while Garnett might have come out on top at 6-foot-11, it is safe to say that Deuce’s cuteness has him positioned to contend with The Big Ticket in the hearts of Boston fans for many years to come.

In all seriousness, you need to check out this clip of the pair making each other’s acquaintances after KG’s big moment this Sunday.
