IRONICALLY THAT VID YOU
POSTED FROM CELTICS ALL ACCESS
IN THE BRON PTSD THREAD CUT OUT
THE FACT TATUM SAID HIS POPS
TOOK HIM TO A CAVS GAME
BECAUSE LARRY HUGHES IS HIS BEST
FRIEND AND THATS WHERE BRON
SNUBBED HIM ON THE AUTOGRAPH.


VERY ODD TO CUT
THAT PART OUT.




​

Didn't even realize that, so odd that they cut that video out.
Tatum's father was at the NBA Finals game 5 when they won the title, hugged Tatum, ESPN didn't even acknowledge him

Sounds like his dad was more involved with his younger children. Jayson said he's really involved with his son because he didn't feel welcome at his dad's house and he didn't have a room to sleep in. That kind of stuff can be very impactful. Especially given how he said he saw his mom struggle a lot financially. It sounds like his dad did a lot for him as far as basketball development but dropped the ball in other areas. Regardless JT seems like a dope, down to earth young man. His Mom did a great job. Just wish he didn't fall into the having babies with different women trap.

Sounds like his dad did what a father is suppose to do. Prepare and mold him into becoming a successful man. Y'all want men, Black men, to be superheros talking bout dropped the ball in other areas that man molded his son into a top 10 NBA player excuse him if he wasn't being nice about it in the process

The NBA star's relationship with his father was slightly more complicated growing up. Primarily raised by his mother, he never lived with his father, who moved back to the U.S. from Europe after playing basketball professionally in the Netherlands when Jayson was 8. Despite being on the receiving end of tough criticism and coaching techniques from his father, Jayson credits his dad for helping push him further in his career.

"He saw the potential in me before I saw it in myself, so having him be that tough on me in basketball really you know, made me tougher on and off the court," Jayson told KSDK.

I DIDN'T KNOW TATUM HAD
A LITTLE BROTHER UNTIL I SAW
THAT PIC OF THEM IN THE VID.
(Different mothers)

Younger brother of Boston Celtics star at home in Macomb as WIU linebacker

Western Illinois linebacker Jaycob Tatum will be watching his older brother, Jayson, closely during Game 7 of Boston’s playoff series with Philadelphia.

Edit:

A LITTLE SISTER TOO.

​

Them other two clearly with a different woman, that’s probably what added to their strained relationship

There’s more to parenting than just molding a child for success. Maybe if his father was more involved in other areas like Dell Curry appeared to be with Steph, JT wouldn’t be on the path to having a bunch of kids with different women.

Nahhh not really. look at a chart of the highest earning ethnic groups in America. Do Nigerian/Indian/Chinese fathers watch Lululemon with their sons and discuss feelings or drill them into being high earning succesful men?

Maybe if his father was more involved in other areas like Dell Curry appeared to be with Steph, JT wouldn’t be on the path to having a bunch of kids with different women.

He's worth over $100 million dollars. He has the means to provide for 10 more children with 10 more women if he wanted to. This concerns you why?

It doesn’t concern me but there’s more to providing for a child than just financially. And having children with different women often brings unnecessary drama even with money.

"DIFFERENT MOTHERS"

JAYSON IS ABOUT 7-8 YRS
OLDER THAN HIS BROTHER
AND HIS BROTHER DIDNT
MOVE TO ST LOUIS UNTIL HIGH SCHOOL
WHICH MEANS JAYSON WAS
ALREADY IN THE NBA AT THAT POINT.

HIS SISTER ISNT MUCH OLDER
THAN HIS SON SO SHE CLEARLY
WASNT ALIVE WHEN JAYSON WAS GROWING UP.

nikkaS TOOK THE 3 YRS
HIS POPS WAS OVERSEAS AND
PUT EXTRAS ON IT.

HIS POPS BEEN THERE SINCE 06
AND HIS SIBLINGS WERENT THERE YET.

HIS POPS MOST LIKELY
HAD A 1 ROOM CRIB...

PICKED JAYSON UP FOR
BASKETBALL TRAINING EVERYDAY
AND DROPPED HIM BACK OFF
AT HIS MOMS EVERY NIGHT

Joe Jackson type dynamic. Worked him hard, embarrassed him and strained their relationship, but he wouldn’t be where he is today without him.

Looks like they are on good terms now though.

yup. that shyt matters way more than mufukkaz think.

 

[Samori Toure]

Michael Jordan said similar stuff about his father.

Michael Jackson father did similar stuff.

Some fathers are just hard dudes. Some sons are driven by it. Some sons crumble under the pressure.

Hopefully every guy can have positive adjustments mentally and emotionally from the experiences as adults..

 

[Raquinotj]

Honestly I don’t remember which is why tagged @Raquinotj he might be able to post it again

Lemme see if I can find it

Look like the older Tatum was only there for Basketball practices and taking him to the barbershop according to JT, he thought pops hated him and Financially they were getting evicted and utilities cut off. Tatum pops was playing overseas.

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Gotta be if u from the Louie. Ask @MustafaSTL

Kinda wild how Michael Porter Jr was thought to be the player Tatum is today. Coming out of Missouri it was Porter who got more hype.

nikka said his father has borderline abusive, they only had a player/coach dynamic, he was envious of the other kids relationships with their dads and he didn't even live with him or have a room in his house yet y'all are stunned he worships his mother instead.

I don't know if it's projection, insecurity, or fears they're deadbeats themselves, but coli nikkas have this weird complex about fathers
