Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum to son Deuce: I was better than you at 4

The St. Louis native is not even the most popular Tatum in the wider Celtics family, with his son Deuce claiming that title for himself.

Boston Celtics superstar swingman Jayson Tatum is by all accounts a top-10 player in the NBA this season, and in some circles is seen as a Most Valuable Player candidate, which would place him in the league’s top five by default. But the St. Louis native is not even the most popular Tatum in the wider Celtics family; his son Deuce claims that title.

The popular toddler is already trying his hand at his father’s sport, and — perhaps out of a bit of jealousy of his son’s popularity (we jest, of course) — in a recent interview with the eponymous host of the “In Depth with Jason Bensinger” show, Tatum shared he believes he was the better basketball prospect when he was a four-year-old lad.

Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what the former Duke standout had to say about Big and Little Deuce’s shared affection for the game, with a glimpse at Tatum’s home as well.
