At 25, Jayson Tatum has already made four Conference Finals appearances and a Finals appearance with the Boston Celtics. He has been winning a ton with the franchise since his rookie year. Therefore, his career is off to an electric start and a lot of credit goes to the Celtics, which built a winning roster before he even arrived. He therefore has no reason to leave thus far, and after his teammate Jaylen Brown signed a five-year $300 million extension, he can expect an even higher amount.

With that on the plate, the city of Boston has also nurtured the growth of his son Deuce. The doting parent therefore has seen his son grow from an infant to a toddler to now a preschooler. This has happened in the city where he rose to stardom.

Talking to Messenger’s Jeff Goodman, who has seen the superstar since his high school days, Tatum turned in some intimate details of his life. As he and Goodman had been in touch for a long time, the exchange flowed in many directions.

When the subject of his five-year old son came up, the Forward stated, ”Just recently I started to feel the connection with Boston, I have spent my adult life here, my son has grown up here, I’ve grown up here. I’ve accomplished so many things. It’s happened so fast, and Boston has played such an intricate part of my life.”

He also went back to his own roots as someone who hails from Missouri’s St. Louis. However, he is not just a kid from St. Louis anymore. He added, ”I just feel like I relate more, a lot more in these last two years. At first it was like I live here, but I’m from St. Louis. I’m a St. Louis kid. Now I’m a part of Boston. I really feel a connection with the city and the people of Boston.”
