Celtics' Jayson Tatum Celebrates Young Fan's Birthday with Special Gift
Celtics Star Tatum Makes a Young Fan's Day
Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum went above and beyond for a young fan celebrating his birthday on Thursday night. Following a thrilling 122-102 victory over the Wizards in Washington D.C., Tatum noticed a boy in the stands holding a sign for an autograph.
Instead of just signing the child's No. 0 Celtics jersey, Tatum invited him to meet near the court and generously gave him the sneakers right off his feet.
Jayson Tatum's Generous Gesture
The sneakers, the new Jordan Brand Tatum 3s, featured the names of Tatum's sons written on the side. This touching gesture thrilled the young fan, who couldn't believe his luck as he posed for pictures with the Celtics superstar.
Celtics Triumph and Tatum's Record-Setting Performance
Tatum's performance on the court during this game added to his impressive season stats. Despite not playing in the fourth quarter, he scored 25 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, and delivered six assists. This outing comes on the heels of an impressive 37-point display in the season opener.
This performance places Tatum in elite company, joining Larry Bird as the only two forwards in NBA history to achieve significant scoring, rebounding, and assisting milestones in the first two games of the season.
