Jayson Tatum’s son, Deuce, surprised dad with news that made him ‘cry a little bit’
Jayson Tatum says he got teary-eyed when his son, Deuce, surprised him with news recently.
They were good tears. The Boston Celtics star had just learned that he would be on the cover of the “NBA 2K25″ video game.
During an appearance on “The Old Man & the Three” podcast, Tatum said that he was at his mom’s house when Deuce came up to him with an unlikely present.
“He was like, ‘Daddy, happy birthday,’ and I opened it. And it was, you know, ‘Congrats, you’re on the cover of 2K, blah, blah, blah,’” Tatum said. I actually got teary-eyed. I kind of cried a little.”
Tatum said the tears stemmed from him feeling blessed and fortunate in the wake of the news. Before he was an NBA champ and All-Star Tatum says he was just a kid playing the NBA 2K games with his friends.
He said that, back then, he’d dreamed of being in the game and on the cover. So when he opened the present from Deuce, all those feelings hit him in real-time.

“It’s like, for that moment to come true, I got a little emotional, I kind of cried a little bit,” he said. “I was just so overwhelmed and happy that something I dreamed about came true.”
