Though Brown dropped 23 points, Tatum was certainly the best player on the hardwood on Friday night. The four-time All-Star recorded a double-double and wrapped up the 102-114 win over the Sixers with 27 points, shooting 50%. Moreover, he grabbed 10 rebounds and dished out five assists. Following this outstanding performance, the 25-year-old addressed the media on the court, accompanied by Deuce.
A clip uploaded by NBA’s official Twitter handle revealed his son’s adorable response to a reporter during Tatum’s on-court interview. When the reporter asked Tatum’s son if he wanted to say something, the 4x All-Star looked down at Deuce, perhaps guessing what answer he will give. The munchkin simply said, “Hi,” in such a cute way that the interviewer could do nothing but burst out laughing. Take a look!

The little one loves the spotlight and this was not the first time when he crashed his father’s interviews. He is a massive fan of his superstar dad and apparently can’t get enough of him like the rest of the Celtics fans.
Tatum and his ex-girlfriend, Toriah Lachell welcomed their son on December 6, 2017 – the year in which the 2022 All-NBA First Team was drafted in the league. The five-year-old kid is a superfan of the Celtics too and often can be seen sitting courtside. Aside from being a star athlete, Tatum is a proud father and loves to spend time with his son.
Deuce’s one-word response garnered a lot of attention from fans.
