Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics is currently on tour in China on behalf of the Jordan brand and he is really enjoying himself.
He has visited the Great Wall of China, received a classy piece of art, and also met with fans.
A video shared by Daniel Donabedian on X, per ClutchPoints, shows Tatum signing autographs for Chinese fans, who look elated to see him.

In the video, Tatum is treated like the NBA superstar he is.
The last year has been a whirlwind journey for Tatum.
It started with him averaging 26.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game during the 2023-24 season.
Those were impressive numbers but the real prize came at the end of the season when his Celtics won the NBA Finals.
Just weeks later, Tatum was in Paris playing on behalf of his home country in the Olympics.
There has been some controversy around Tatum all season long, with certain people saying he wasn’t paying well enough during the regular season and others upset with his lack of time on the court during the Olympics.
But the bottom line is this: Tatum is an NBA champion and gold medalist, as well as one of the largest names in the league.
His trip to China is a way to relax, meet followers, and spend some time getting his head on straight before the new season kicks off in October.
He needs the rest because next season will be even harder than the last.
All teams will be angling to take down the Celtics since they are now the reigning champions.
That means Tatum and the rest of his squad will need to play even harder and will be criticized even more.
