@Colin Grabmydick my mom used to tell me she wish I was dead or somebody killed me and that I was the reason my grandma died (she died from cancer) when I was 11 years old. ❤️😂
He’s a liar that’s trying to act hard (I grew up tuff in STL). Went to a private HS. Mom was a lawyer and THEY HAD A HOUSE. Dad in his life. Went to Duke lmao gets a back tatt like the mfer was raised in the yard. He’s phony, weak and soft.
As a Laker fan I am a huge fan of Jason Tatum. His love and admiration for Kobe had me pay attention to him, but his grind and love for the game gave him my love and respect. Jason Tatum genuinely seems like a humble guy. I’m rooting for him!
In almost 30 years, they've only won one championship so I don't mind it so much. Meanwhile, the Warriors (who I'm actually a fan of) going to their 6th Finals in 8 years. 🤣
Seeing him smile and light up about that house even though he had a hard life made my day. I live in STL right now. Its definitely hard. All the love in the world bro! My favorite player!
Look at you now. One of the few guys to say he never forget where he came from. Go get you a championship bro u deserve it as a prize for all u sacrificed and worked for
What a decent dude and so humble. I'm rooting for you Jason Tatum, I hope you pull off one of the biggest upset shockers in NBA history by beating the warriors. This is your time JT...... GO GET IT 🙏💯🏀🏆
I'm a Warriors fan (my hometown team), but I love Jayson Tatum. So humble and down to earth. Plays with all his heart. Always talks about team. Never makes excuses and always takes responsibility for what happens in the game.
What are you talking about?😂 The two teams are evenly matched, with a slight edge going to Boston because of their sizes. Boston has played Golden State well since Kerr became coach. They are they only team with a winng record vs GS in that time. 9-5 or 9-4, including absolutely embarrassing them in Golden State just two months again. I don't know if you are a casual and think this is still the Durant Warriors or if you just don't know what an upset is. But this would in no way be a big upset. This series is going 6 or seven games and the winner is basically a coin flip.
Much love to jayson. We’re the same age, with birthdays just days apart, to see how he grew up and how similar it was to the way I grew up, really puts it into a different perspective.
As a Laker fan u hate that he has to wear the Celtics jersey but how can you hate him as a player or a person. This dude is nice and I scouted him at Duke I said he's exactly what you need in the playoffs a player who can score from mid range.
@@marcaisse That 2017 draft he was so slept on because Markelle was looked at as a for sure number 1, Lonzo was from UCLA and couldn't let him slip through because he was in the backyard and we needed a point guard leader when DLo lost the locker room because of Nick Young incident, and Boston Moved down because they didn't need another PG WHILE 76ERS thought it was best for Ben to be a power forward when he wanted to be a pg
Bro! 😮💨🙏🏾Blessings to all the single mothers, single fathers, kids who are struggling to make ends meet... No one should live with an empty stomach... Shout to all caring neighbors and general caring humans... stay blessed 🙌🏾
I was introduced to you by your grandmother a few years ago at the Cardinal 🏟️ Stadium. You and your family, have truly been gifted , you are a blessing. Your gifts are sent from on High and you are receiving them with a humble spirit. Keep shining!!!! ✨ Much Blessing's!!
As a Celtics fan and a mom first of all you’re a sweetheart and I know how much you love your mom, and as a Celtics fan I am so glad they drafted you, you are a true Celtic you fit the mold
I hate the Celtics with a fervor, but them guys, Smart, Brown, and Tatum, it's hard not to like and root for them. Especially Tatum, seeing him with his mom at the draft, you really got the sense he was raised lovingly and it's hard not to want to see them succeed despite their shortcomings.
As a Celtics fan this guy has driven me nuts from time to time. Him being an only child explains a lot. I hope he did something nice for Donna once he came into all that money.
@@joshirosenda6931 He struggled for quite a while with selfish play. He still does it occasionally. He will waste a possession by pulling up three seconds into the shot clock and jacking up a three like he's Steph, for example.
Donna is faker then the poor upbringing story.FAKE. his mom was a lawyer. Dad was a coach both raised him with money! He grew up rich! Look it up,espn made all this up out the blue

@@DR-hy6zw Some of Sage's political views (that she's been fairly vocal about) would seem to be an odd match to the implications of race and poverty in JT's humble beginnings. I was waiting for her to turn to the camera and say "see black ppl, this one super gifted athlete made it out, why can't you all do the same thing?".
Jason is the new face of the NBA. I Hope he follows in the feet steps of Kobe And LeBron and learn the dream shake from Hakeem Olajuwon and elevate him to the next level and the top NBA and globally as well.
Damm...I don't watch much Basketball.. I watch enough to know who's playing who and who's a good team and who's not, but I don't watch Basketball.. I'm an NFL Guy, but I can relate to this man and I like GS but watching things like this just makes you want to be a fan of anyone that made it out of poverty.. It's so important that people understand that we're all striving for the same thing. I understand this man's hardships... May the best team win..
He’s just soo humble. Them ruff times seeing his mom struggle, he definitely took it personally. He’s not in drama, he doesn’t go out clubbing, you never see him all over social media over stupidity. He’s making sure his mom doesn’t have to worry about a dime in her life. That woman is enjoying her retirement spending time with her son & grandbaby duece. Hard not to like Tatum as a laker fan.
That has to be something, going into that backyard and looking at a basketball goal you shot hoops on throughout your childhood to now shooting on every basketball goal in the NBA.
@@yeniguslij his mom was a lawyer his dad was his coach and his godfather was a nba player and he went to private school...so poor lol smh. i guees its a safe bet on celtics to win it all lol
Humble dude. Always seemed like a cool dude. That story about eating a single pot pie and sharing it with his mother eating the crumbs was hard to hear. Already know it was a blessing for him and his mother when he made it to the league
Dude is so humble, proud to have him on our team
Too bad they play better at away games cuz the Boston crowd is absolute garbage
I’m a sixers fan and so much respect for him, brown, and the C’s
I’m a Lakers fan and even I like Jayson a lot. He’s one of my fav players in the league.
Just Remember he wants to be a laker
Yeah I'm a Sixers fan and I was like that lightskin dude from Duke is NBA ready now and they draft Fulks SMDH!!
Went from hard times in St. Louis to now playing on the biggest stage for the Larry O'Brien. Much more success and blessings for J-Tatum!
Shoutout to st Louis
When the vision is clear, you got to get to work, no matter what.

That pot pie 🥧 brought the 😭 tears rolling down my face especially mom giving him the inside and she eating the crust🙏🏿

I second that

You could at least spell his name right if you’re such a big fan
@@johnmp1470 You can at least get a life
Congratulations. Persevered through hardships in life, and now he is in the NBA Finals with the grandest establishment in the league.
This is a humble person, he’s very appreciative to be where he’s at and it’s well deserved.
I can feel every word he is speaking in my heart and in my soul . Tatum have it rough , tough growing up I can feel every bit of it .
Hard work, dedication, staying focused, commitment, pays off in a major way. Props to Mom for keeping him grounded and staying the course 👏🏾
As much as I may not want Celtics to win any more championships, its hard not to cheer for Tatum

The Warriors were trash for most of thier existence until less than 10 years ago.

Representing stl , yea it’s crazy in the lou , Iillinos side as well big ups to him for defeating the odds
It’s cool to see stuff like this gives me some hope that maybe someday I could get out of my situation good for Tatum.
My granny's advice would be, "put in the work and anything is possible." Be a warrior.
U can and will mane keep grindin God got u✊🏿

If anything the Warriors are the ubderdogs they are a lower seed then the Celtics
Lol don't get ahead of yourself just yet , we talking about the warriors lol
It’s good nba players share their stories especially since there is so many kids who look up to them and could be in the same position
The City of St.Louis is proud of him
I love this dude I hope he wins the finals, he’s so humble and quite and chill. Man I love JT ❤️

not a Celtics fan but I can't help but be impressed by what Tatum (and Brown) have achieved thus far
From the LOU AND I'M PROUD!!!
Just watched the entire episode on ESPN+. He and his mom are such an inspiration!
Is their a way to watch this somewhere else
how did they afford private school
