Jayson Tatum stayed busy in 2024 bringing home the hardware and a new child too.
He won his first Larry O’Brien championship trophy, earned his second gold medal with Team USA, signed a contract that makes him the eighth highest-paid player once it kicks in and welcomed his second child into the world.

This isn’t the first time Tatum hit many milestones all at once. In 2017 he was drafted 3rd overall and made his NBA debut just a couple months before his first child, Deuce was born. What is it about athletes having children that makes them even more extraordinary in their sport?
One kid every year until he retires and he will be the unquestioned greatest of all time with more rings than fingers. On a serious note, this has been a great year in Tatum’s life and it looks like he takes the time to enjoy each moment. Here’s to an even better 2025 if that’s possible.
