- Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum remembers the many sacrifices his mom made as a teenager, and her battles to pay bills as a single mom working long hours. Tatum looks back on nights when the utilities were cut off, a shocking foreclosure and talks of his determination as a boy to put himself in a position where he can one day provide for his mom and grandma. Plus, we hear how the blessing of a $10,000 check from his mom’s friend provided the cushion needed for his family to get back on their feet.

I knew I liked this young man for a reason. Wow challenges are for champions. A true champion mom and grandma was the glue. Cheers to this family
Man…this was relatable. Your determination has brought you and your family to a life of better living. Much respect.
JT you deserve everything you achieved! What an example you are for young players!
Fucking shit I didn’t think I would cry. I’ve watched every single one of these videos from his interview and whenever he talked about his “aunt” I broke down. What an angel.
This is enough to make a grown man cry. Damn.
this guy is so inspirational who's cutting onions
Hands down one of my favourite Celtics💚
Another GREAT interview Graham! Love love love JT

He's a good man, inspirational fo everyone! It's just make me cry how JT had a good power for going through in all that crazy stuff. He deserved everything that he archived
i admire Jayson and his family so much. such an inspiration
i am not a celtics fan but i have great respect for tatum. he sounds like a solid citizen.
Crazy! Importance of having a good support system because no one gets anywhere without help!
jt gonna make me cry.
I'm a Celtic fan, and like Coach K, have had my moments of thinking JT was soft. These videos have completely changed my view of him. I'm pleased to get to know the real man and his mother. Great stuff Graham.
No matter where we go. How high we get. Never forget our roots. What made us💖💖💖💖💖💯💯💯💯💪💪💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Jayson your father not only liked you ..he loved you. As adults we have to remember that we do not know our parents 'back story '. Parents never really tell their children every thing about their upbringing. Somethings are better left unsaid. Sometimes parents mimick what was shown to them maybe your father only knew though love as a way of saying 'I love you'. That doesn't mean it was right it just means that's what he was taught. I am sure you father showed love towards you as best as he could. Never forget that. Always strive to be the change you want to see in the world. Keep this in mind..no matter how much of your upbringing you share with your children you will never tell them everything because some memories people mentally block out for one reason or another. I will tell you something that a wise person told me. 'Hold on to the good memories, and let the bad ones go". In time you will see that having inner peace is worth more than you could have ever imagined. While you will never be perfect you will always be a work in progress as a child of God. Your friend in Christ Jesus.
Lets call a spade s spade. Your love you are saying did not translate.
They were suffering. And now they fine n rich, he comes in and say "hey son im here and gonna support you all the way. Btw, can you spare me some change about $100,000.00. Thatd be ayt. "
I hate the Celtics but damn this dude is someone u gotta root for
Goes to show you how much influence others can have on your life. Her friend giving her that money is real 😢
W Grandma 👵
Damn, hopefully he's helping his mom's friends family who helped with the $10,000
Man, I have to admit that Tatum is a down-to-earth type of guy.
Smh

God Is Amazing ❤🙏🏽
Love Jayson! Future MVP!
Well Tatum & his Celtics are about to get swept by the Miami Heat!
He had a mum and a grandma who loved him unconditionally..
He is a weak simp
JT deserves everything he earned
@grahambensinger is an amazing sports reporter. Always asks good questions.
This proves that women can do anything❤
The hell with these single mothers
Wow what a testimony, God had his future set
Always trust you JT

Respect to women in this story
hate to ask in this matter but isn’t larry hughes his uncle? nba players can’t save every single family member but you’d think a nephew being raised in these conditions would get a little hand out?
It says godfather on wikipedia.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Grandma still alive? Dad paying child support?
Damn I like this dude he should be a laker tho
Hell noooo
Rofl...gawd Ainge fleeced y'all. I love it that the lakers had every chance to grab him...and the Celtics chose correctly. I remember lakers fans at the time said that Lonzo would be so much better. I still laugh today.
@@chemicalhap he fleeced sixers magic got sold by a conman in lavar. Pains me to this day we don’t have taytum
Lakers had a chance to get him
Honestly Jayson Tatum the kid you want your kid to be like.
