And then, as they processed the moment, Tatum himself walked in.
Tatum was once a kid there, too.
He played basketball at Mathews-Dickey Club, also called Boys & Girls Club of Greater St. Louis.
Its always been important for me to give back.
I had this idea thoughts and visions when I was younger.
I can help make things better.
Its an incredible feeling.
Dozens of kids and their family members attended Tuesdays ceremony.
After the shrieks subsided, Tatum gave a short speech and took questions from the youngsters.
He christened the court with a dunk and then posed for a group photo with the kids.
Soon, the gym was abuzz with a cacophony of dribbles and rim-clanking from jump shots.
It was a hoops haven.
I thought this was a really heartwarming story just furthering what a good dude Jayson Tatum is.
Admittedly, I have been really hard on the kid the past few seasons.
All that changed this season.
Guy silenced all the critics, and haters.
(Escept for that punk ass bitch Steve Kerr.)
Jayson Tatum is the man.
