Former Duke basketball star [autotag]Jayson Tatum[/autotag] will be on the cover of NBA 2K25, and Netflix captured the moment he heard the news.
In a new documentary “Starting 5”, which premiered this week, Tatum’s son, Deuce, walked up to him with a birthday present. The Boston Celtics star opened it up to find a piece of paper revealing that he’d be on the cover, prompting Tatum to drop his head into his hand.
“To share that moment with my mini-me and my best friend, that is a special moment I had with Deuce,” Tatum said in the narration.
Tatum won his first NBA championship with the Celtics this year, defeating fellow Blue Devils [autotag]Kyrie Irving[/autotag] and [autotag]Dereck Lively II[/autotag] in the Finals. Tatum led Boston in points, rebounds, and assists throughout the playoffs, joining a historic list of players to accomplish that feat, before heading to Paris to win his second consecutive Olympic gold medal.
