Former Duke basketball star [autotag]Jayson Tatum[/autotag] published his first book this week, a children’s book titled “Baby Dunks-a-Lot.”
The book is about a baby who, while being taught how to play basketball, reveals his ability to dunk.
“Before long, every professional team wants the incredible dunking baby on their roster,” the summary reads on Amazon’s listing for the new book. “Baby Dunks-A-Lot is poised to become a basketball legend—that is, until he misses his bedtime.”
Tatum appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night to promote the new book and revealed he dedicated it to his son, Deuce, and his mother, Brandy Cole. Deuce has been present for many of Tatum’s career accomplishments, including an iconic photo together among the confetti earlier this summer when Tatum won his first NBA title.
The book’s release also comes months after Tatum became the first Blue Devil to win two Olympic gold medals. He made his third straight All-NBA First Team squad and broke the league record for postseason points scored before a player’s 27th birthday.
