As Team USA finally ended their quest for gold, they went all out while celebrating in Paris. The team members returned to their hotel, after which they celebrated in a pub. Out of all this, Jayson Tatum, who unfortunately didn’t get enough playing time, and has been in the news for all the wrong reasons, has gone viral again. Well, this time, he broke the internet for a similar reason, like after winning his first NBA Championship title! Yes, his son, Deuce, stole the show again!
Ella Mai (also traveling with the couple’s newborn baby), along with Tatum’s mother and Deuce, had a family photo clicked with the gold medalist. Once it hit the internet, the clip immediately went viral and fans got carried away by Deuce holding a champagne bottle. Of course, for him, it wasn’t a normal bottle. Compared to how big Deuce is, the 7-year-old was trying his best to hold up quite some weight, a bottle rather half his size, while posing for the family picture. Tatum’s son is quite famous among his teammates, as well as Celtics fans.
Little Deuce became the center of attention during the 2019-20 season when the games resumed in the NBA bubble. Deuce was only 3 as he cheered for his dad from the stands like a true fan. Since then, Deuce has become a common name among the Celts. During this Olympic campaign, the duo also shared many father-and-son moments. After the semi-final game, they spent some time at the Eiffel Tower. The hooper shared a picture of his son posing in front of the monument, which was fully lit, and looked beautiful in the night lights!
No matter what the controversy is around his dad, this time being about how long he played, the Celt has always had his son and close family’s support, no matter what. His mother even went to the extent of indirectly taking a major shot at Steve Kerr on social media, after the NBA Champion’s minutes were reduced game by game in the knockouts. However, coming back to the positive side of things, Deuce, trying to hold that bottle with both his hands from the bottom, caught the fans’ attention.
What’s your reaction?
Deuce stole the show and received fan love, while Jayson Tatum celebrated his second gold medal!
Fans on X could not resist Deuce’s cuteness in the family picture. With his father, Deuce had quite the summer this year. Winning the NBA Championship, Gold medal in the Olympics, and various other victory celebrations, Deuce will not forget 2024! This particular individual pointed out, “Deuce having a legendary summer!” And why not? Whenever Jayson Tatum goes on to celebrate each of his accolades, he often brings his son along with him.

This same fan also posted a picture of the father-son duo sharing a moment in solitary while the Boston squad sprayed champagne all over the place, after winning the NBA. Jayson held the league title as he soaked in every emotion of the moment and Deuce attempted to put on a fancy pair of eyewear to save him for all the champagne!
On the other hand, this fan showed nothing but affection. “I love Deuce,” they wrote. The 7-year-old quite literally has a fanbase that is not only limited to the Celtics. Deuce also has familiar fandom in the Celtics locker room even during the postseason. Another fan pointed out Deuce’s recent celebration with his father following the Championship run. “Deuce already had one celebration this year he was prepared for today,” wrote the fan.
Many fans adored Deuce, who always tags along with Jayson Tatum after each of his big games. His son doesn’t shy away from facing the cameras and making big statements too! He was one of the first individuals to run to his dad after winning the NBA Championship, and his dad further narrated the story, “He told me that I was the best in the world. And I said you damn right I am!”
As the Tatum family heads back to the US, JT will look to spend the rest of his summer with his son before he hits the training camps for next season. What are your thoughts on Deuce’s fame? Do you think he’ll grow up to be a hooper? Let us know in the comments.
