The Official 2025/2026 NBA Season - The New York Knicks Are The 2026 NBA CHAMPIONS!!!

[REDLINE]

I said it once and have said it a 1000 times on here. He did not have a dad...the dad was begged to be with him after he was already in his teens.
Dad was a true rolling stone and had a full family with "3" kids that had nothing to do with tatum. Dad moved overseas when Tatum was a kid.
tatum did not have a father when he was poor. They actually were poor. not some fake shit.

Tatum made an agreement with him so his son would not be without a grandfather. This also allowed Duece to have uncles and aunts from the other family.

You said it a 1000 times on here?

Then maybe you need to stop!

Why Jayson was raised the way he was​

Tatum also said that the reason why his dad raised him the way he did was because Justin didn’t have a father figure growing up. It’s also the fact that JT’s parents had him when they were 19 years old, so they were learning how to parent a child while at the same time navigating their lives at a young age.

My dad was the person that put the ball in my hand. He played overseas, he taught me the game, was my coach, and trained me till I got to eighth grade. It was a Jesus Shuttlesworth type of relationship. We’ve definitely gotten better and closer as I got older, but it did kind of put a strain in our relationship,” Tatum said.

Key Details of Their Relationship

• Intense Coaching: As a child, Jayson felt his father was more of a coach than a dad, often struggling to differentiate between the two roles. His father, a basketball coach, often employed harsh methods, including screaming and public criticism, to push Jayson to be the best.
• "Tough Love" Tactics: Justin frequently criticized Jayson's performance, telling him he was "soft" to push him to 5:30 a.m. workouts. Jayson, as a child, sometimes felt his father did not like him due to this extreme, performance-based pressure.
• Long-term Impact: While the relationship was strained during his upbringing, Tatum has stated he wouldn't change his upbringing, noting it formed the foundation of his career.
• Evolution and Closeness: As Jayson matured, he understood his father’s actions came from his own difficult upbringing and a desire for Jayson to succeed. They are now close, and Tatum’s relationship with his own son, Deuce, is a direct reaction to wanting a more affectionate, "best friend" dynamic.

Exactly what I said, he was his coach, not his father.( he had whole other family and lived most of his life out of St Louis.)
why do you think they did not have food? The mother had no job and Tatum had no father.

The mother had to do something to feed them( Tatum and his mom were begging for food from neighbours)....so she said fuck this poor shit I need money....and she became a lawyer. She will not even let the Dueces mother be around...she treats Duece the way she never got to Treat tatum...Duece is pretty much Tatums brother that got everything Tatum never had as a kid

This is why you never see Tatum all Hollywood and shit

He does two things every day......Play basketball and the rest of the time he is with Deuce.
He knows what it felt like to not have a father so he refuses to not be around Duece except for during the games(duece is at every home game...in the locker room)

Hey man, Tatums's Dad had another family. That's life. They had Jayson at 19, and weren't a couple and didn't get married.

She had her life and he had his. He played basketball etc.

He trained Jayson until he got to the 8th grade, which meant that he was around and in Jayson's life.

That's my entire point, his Dad was there. But the story's put out like there was no Dad and that the Mom did everything on her own.

And that's simply not true. I don't know the inner working of his family regarding Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents or distant cousins.

What I do know is that Jayson had a Dad, a Dad that lived in the same city and that Jayson knew and saw his Dad.

And while we're at it KD had a Dad too!

If you call that a dad that is crazy....
Tatums father was only his coach as his mother asked him to do at least something in his life.
it was like come to practice...as he was just the other kids

Tatum had a dad like this......

CJ was really trying to give that game away.

 

[Entrepronegro]

Hawks had no business winning that game. Knicks only had Brunson doing anything. And no called timeout afternoon the CJ missed free throws was stupid.

It was 5 seconds left and they could’ve set up a play. Smh.
