Jayson Tatum announced a $1 million partnership to promote financial literacy for low-income families, and cites growing up in a single-family home as the formative experience that inspired him. “My mom was 19 when she had me, living check to check.”

So glad he’s our superstar he’s the least problematic star in the league
I never realized how well-spoken he is, I appreciate how thoughtful his answers to their questions were!
King
I fucking love this man
Feel so fucking lucky that this is my franchise player
Shout out to his mom for busting her ass and raising a kid into a great young man.
Damn we really need to not take for granted how lucky we are to have this guy as the face of our team. Superstar player, well spoken, appears to be an amazing father (seriously, seems like his idea of having fun is going home and playing with deuce, he seems to love being a father compared to these guys who have 9 children with 9 mothers and don’t acknowledge any of them), incredibly involved in the community, and stays out of trouble. We are spoiled by him
Financial literacy is one of the biggest failures in our current education system for everyone but it definitely hurts lower income families the most. This is an awesome partnership that JT is undertaking and I hope he continues to support it. These are the types of projects that can cause real, lasting change. I’m so happy this is our star.
Imagine NOT having this guy as your franchise’s superstar, lol. Couldn’t be me/us.
I also grew up in a single-family home, until the freaking neighbors moved in.
Wow, talk about using your platform for good. Tatum is not just a star on the court, but also off it. Let’s hope other athletes follow suit and use their voice to make positive change!
Best mom/grandma in the league. She is a great person and it shows with how Tatum has handled all his success
