Millions of kids dream of making it to the NBA, but obviously, just a handful of them get the opportunity to fulfill those dreams.
Even fewer of them manage to find success in the league, establish their footing there, and become stars of the game.
Needless to say, Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum is one of those privileged few, which is why he wants to give back to those young kids who, like him, dreamed big.
Tatum went back to his native St. Louis to spend some time with the kids and make some donations through his foundation, spreading love and sharing his wisdom and time with those in attendance.

Notably, Tatum has always been quite vocal about his love and pride for his background and upbringing, and he’s constantly looking to give back to the community.
Despite his youth, Tatum is a mature young man who has had to embrace a role as a leader and the face of one of the most storied franchises in professional sports, and that’s not easy, let alone at his age.
That has paid off big time, both financially and sports-wise, as he’s become one of the faces of the league and could be in line to sign the largest contract extension of all time next season, topping his teammate Jaylen Brown and the $305 million contract he just signed.
But regardless of what he accomplishes on the court or as a businessman, this right here might be Tatum’s biggest win of his career.
