Jayson Tatum reflects on 'tough' childhood at home | Up Close with Sage Steele | ESPN+ 

Shoutout to st Louis

When the vision is clear, you got to get to work, no matter what.

Brons better Bron have water 🤡 Dubs n 5

He went from playing AAU getting Free room and board along with clothes and shoes.. but hey it’s rough being poor

@@bmobrad keep that energy my boy🤣

Too bad they play better at away games cuz the Boston crowd is absolute garbage

I’m a sixers fan and so much respect for him, brown, and the C’s

I’m a Lakers fan and even I like Jayson a lot. He’s one of my fav players in the league.

Just Remember he wants to be a laker

Yeah I'm a Sixers fan and I was like that lightskin dude from Duke is NBA ready now and they draft Fulks SMDH!!

it almost got me man, what a heartwarming story

i hope he still keeping in touch with that neighbor, Donna. She was almost like a life saver!

I second that

What being a parent is all about.

@Colin Grabmydick my mom used to tell me she wish I was dead or somebody killed me and that I was the reason my grandma died (she died from cancer) when I was 11 years old. ❤️😂

Single Father's and Mother's.

@@norrisrico 💯💯💯💯💯💯

@@norrisrico exactly single father get no love

Bought tears to my eyes

God bless neighbor Donna! We need more people like that in this world!!

blessings on u,MR.TATUM

@@highcollide lol stop

He’s a liar that’s trying to act hard (I grew up tuff in STL). Went to a private HS. Mom was a lawyer and THEY HAD A HOUSE. Dad in his life. Went to Duke lmao gets a back tatt like the mfer was raised in the yard. He’s phony, weak and soft.

In almost 30 years, they've only won one championship so I don't mind it so much. Meanwhile, the Warriors (who I'm actually a fan of) going to their 6th Finals in 8 years. 🤣

@@thebasketballhistorian3291 bandwagon fool

Honestly

The Warriors were trash for most of thier existence until less than 10 years ago. Meanwhile, the Celtics are the preeminent franchise in basketball.

@@davidv6588 facts

I'm a Warriors fan (my hometown team), but I love Jayson Tatum. So humble and down to earth. Plays with all his heart. Always talks about team. Never makes excuses and always takes responsibility for what happens in the game.

Biggest upset? Lol it's a pick 'em series. It could go either way. Boston winning wouldn't even be an upset.

What are you talking about?😂 The two teams are evenly matched, with a slight edge going to Boston because of their sizes. Boston has played Golden State well since Kerr became coach. They are they only team with a winng record vs GS in that time. 9-5 or 9-4, including absolutely embarrassing them in Golden State just two months again. I don't know if you are a casual and think this is still the Durant Warriors or if you just don't know what an upset is. But this would in no way be a big upset. This series is going 6 or seven games and the winner is basically a coin flip.

If anything the Warriors are the ubderdogs they are a lower seed then the Celtics

Lol don't get ahead of yourself just yet , we talking about the warriors lol

You could at least spell his name right if you’re such a big fan

@@johnmp1470 You can at least get a life

My granny's advice would be, "put in the work and anything is possible." Be a warrior.

U can and will mane keep grindin God got u✊🏿

@@highcollide Tatum did not grow up rich 💀

@@highcollide i remember my first time drinking lmfao

Gm, you will just place one foot in front then God will place one of his foot behind you

I really can't tell you spell this King name wrong. So where is the respect. It's Jayson

@@killpaleface3279 lmao

you know he did

@@billbelicheat4499 he didn’t repay Donna. Don’t believe everything you see on utube

@@loganblack4885 how do u know

@@loganblack4885 Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't give Donna a lil something.

@@loganblack4885 please enlighten us

I thought his father was with him too surprising story !!

Im a duke basketball fan and celtics fan so I'm chilling lol

@@marcaisse That 2017 draft he was so slept on because Markelle was looked at as a for sure number 1, Lonzo was from UCLA and couldn't let him slip through because he was in the backyard and we needed a point guard leader when DLo lost the locker room because of Nick Young incident, and Boston Moved down because they didn't need another PG WHILE 76ERS thought it was best for Ben to be a power forward when he wanted to be a pg

Is their a way to watch this somewhere else

how did they afford private school

@@ashirfaruq3575 private schools can give scholarships

@@ashirfaruq3575 private schools have financial aid. Have a few friends that went to some.

@@ashirfaruq3575 he' was a dope player even then so I guess scholarship?

How so?

He's not going to be proud of anything. He's dead

@@EnterTainment-vv1qs when he wins the finals

Hate is a strong word. There is no way that you can root for them and like then if you "Hate" them. Is this some sort of paradox? lol

Hard not to like smart ? Said no one ever

I’m curious.. what does him being a only child explain?

^

@@joshirosenda6931 He struggled for quite a while with selfish play. He still does it occasionally. He will waste a possession by pulling up three seconds into the shot clock and jacking up a three like he's Steph, for example.

Donna is faker then the poor upbringing story.FAKE. his mom was a lawyer. Dad was a coach both raised him with money! He grew up rich! Look it up,espn made all this up out the blue

What link did you make from his poor shot selection to being an only child ? Please enlighten me

What’s wrong with Sage Steele ?

@@DR-hy6zw Some of Sage's political views (that she's been fairly vocal about) would seem to be an odd match to the implications of race and poverty in JT's humble beginnings. I was waiting for her to turn to the camera and say "see black ppl, this one super gifted athlete made it out, why can't you all do the same thing?".

@@DR-hy6zw she’s white

@@samflynn3670 agreed, she’s trash

*LOVE
