Jayson Tatum is widely regarded as one of the best young players around in the NBA today. The Boston Celtics forward has had a meteoric rise and shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. After a disappointing loss to the Miami Heat in the EC Finals Tatum can now look to rest and recuperate. While the Missouri native can choose to do a lot of different things this off season, he is seen mostly spending quality time with his son.

Deuce, his son, is spotted quite often with the Celtics team and spending time with his father. The youngster is a star in his own right and the father son duo have formed quite the pair.
