Deuce Tatum has established himself as a fan favorite for NBA fans and even players, over the years. The 5-year-old son of Boston Celtics star, Jayson Tatum, is a regular attendee of his father’s games. Thanks to his antics, both on and off the court, NBA fans really love Deuce. Interestingly, comedian Kevin Hart had a rather embarrassing moment featuring Deuce recently.
Jayson was a guest on the comedian’s podcast, which involves both the host and guest having an ice bath. During a segment on the popular podcast, the NBA star revealed his special gift for Hart.

Kevin Hart is 5-foot-2 inches tall. For this reason, he usually wears rather small-sized clothing in contrast to the general population of the United States of America.
It was pretty evident recently on his podcast with Tatum as his guest. Hart was gifted a Celtics jersey by Jayson. The ‘2T’ jersey belongs to Deuce Tatum! Although Jayson Tatum wears the number 0 for the Celtics, his son was given the number 2. Hence, it is named the 2T jersey.
“I got a little gift. It’s my son’s jersey, but they told me it might fit and I know how much you love the Celtics”, said the 4-time NBA All-Star.
Although Hart is 44 years old, he still fits perfectly into the jersey worn by little Tatum. In fact, the Celtics star mentioned that he was pretty sure that the jersey would fit as Hart is only 5-foot-2 inches tall.
Currently, Kevin Hart is nursing a leg injury. A few weeks ago, he labeled himself the ‘dumbest man alive’ after he injured himself during a 40-meter dash versus a former NFL star.
Deuce Tatum has been in the league for as long as his father
2017 turned out to be a turning point for Jayson Tatum and his family. Not only was he picked as the 3rd overall pick during the 2017 NBA draft, but he also became a father six months after this event.

“I think 2017 when I got drafted, I didn’t have Deuce, but he was born in 2017 so that was big, that was the biggest year of my life, right?”, said the 2022 Eastern Conference Finals MVP according to People.
From crashing his father’s interviews to interacting with other NBA stars like Draymond Green, Deuce has done it all! Safe to say, his popularity is just starting to flare up.
