The Boston Celtics are currently the best team in the Eastern Conference, spearheaded by none other than Jayson Tatum, who has gotten off to an incredible start to his season. With the love for Tatum at an all-time high, a former Los Angeles Clippers player’s son has recently decided to pick out a Jayson Tatum jersey as his Christmas gift.

Although JJ Redick is one of the greatest players in collegiate basketball history and went on to have a successful 15-year NBA career, it was not enough to persuade his son to pick his own dad’s jersey.

JJ Redick’s son picks Jayson Tatum

As JJ Redick has transitioned to a life of broadcasting after he retired from basketball, he decided to celebrate Christmas early with his family, as he would have to cover the Christmas Day Games later this month.

Kai Redick picked out his Christmas gift, and it was a basketball jersey. But surprisingly, it was not his dad’s but rather Jayson Tatum’s Zero ‘0’ jersey.

Redick recently posted a picture on his Instagram story of his son holding Jayson Tatum’s home jersey. Redick wrote on the image. “Of course, Tatum,” and added a crying emoji after it.

Although people were expecting Josh Hart to breeze through the contest, Knox made jaws drop by scoring one more basket than him. It is apparent that JJ Redick, who is one of the best shooters in NBA history, has worked with his son, and he is now following in his dad’s footsteps.
