Boston Celtics star swingman Jayson Tatum made a fan of his very happy indeed who was in attendance at the Las Vegas Arena where Tatum’s Team USA had just finished dispatching the Spanish National Team in the last of USA Basketball’s pre- Tokyo Olympics exhibition games Sunday night.
Upon completion of the 83 to 76 win over Spain, the Celtics All-Star stopped to give the fan his game-worn Jordans, with security helping out to make sure the right person got the kicks. The young lady had been sporting a sign in the seats that read “Jayson Tatum’s No. 1 Fan,” which the St. Louis native also autographed.
Watch the clip embedded below tweeted by the NBA kicks account to see the exchange for yourself.

Even if it may not have been Tatum’s most accurate night from the field on the court, he really hit the mark with his fans with such a classy move after the fact.
