“Just Like Pops”: Fans Hilariously Drag Jayson Tatum’s Son Deuce Into All-Star Father’s Woes With Referees

Shortly after making his mark in the NBA draft, Jayson Tatum proudly welcomed his son, Jayson ‘Deuce’ Christopher Tatum Jr., into the world. As Tatum’s career blossomed, so did Deuce’s presence in the spotlight. Whether it’s Tatum sharing glimpses of his life or Deuce making on-court appearances, fans have developed a deep admiration for this dynamic duo. The absence of Deuce on the court feels like a void in the game, with fans expressing their attachment.

Even basketball icons like Paul George and LeBron James have joined in the fandom, both of them shaking hands with the younger Tatum after their battles with the Boston Celtics. As fans passionately track Deuce’s journey with gloomy eyes, they constantly express their sentiments whenever possible. So, when a recent update on Deuce came up, they couldn’t help but connect it to his father’s recent move.

Jayson Tatum posts a video of Deuce dunking on a mini-hoop

Jayson Tatum, boasting a massive social media following, provides fans with a sneak peek into his life through Snapchat. In a recent post, he shared a snippet showcasing Deuce’s assertive move to the hoop, as he ended with dunking and hanging on the rim with both hands on a mini hoop. One of the fans immediately took to social media, while radiating one-of-a-kind the hoop setup that Deuce has.

Fans, in their natural element, could not resist drawing parallels between Deuce’s skills and those of his father. Tatum is renowned as one of the NBA’s elite scorers, boasting a repertoire of moves that few can counter. The two-foot finish at the rim, executed by Deuce, mirrors the balanced and aggressive dunks that JT consistently unleashes during games, creating an unmistakable connection.

However, prompted by a recent incident involving Tatum, fans seized the opportunity to ignite the ongoing narratives surrounding referees in today’s NBA.

Injecting a dose of humor into the comment section, @ReaperII7 slyly hinted that Jayson Tatum might eventually earn a tech for Deuce’s rim-hanging antics.

Expressing disbelief, @CelticFromDaM remarked on the widespread sentiment among fans, pointing out the harmony amongst fans around Tatum’s technical foul.

Tatum, just like fans, has also displayed frustrations regarding the officiating on his dunks. Even other players have agreed that, due to momentum, it is safer for players to use the ring as leverage and end the play with a proper landing.
