Jayson Tatum is a winner on the court, as well as off the court

Great father as well.. favorite player

Face of the league.

[@TaylorMatrix]

His mom raised him well. He looked at her struggle and that humbled him.

[@andrewharvey3282]

Boston is so proud to have the two Jays invest in our community; I hope they stay here as long as possible, and if we're healthy we're going to be the favorites for the next three years. But bro, we appreciate you so much, and we are ready to go nuts over 18. This is a basketball town again!

[@avthecool129]

Well said I’m proud to call them my superstars as a celts fan

[@user-ze6ns9pq2y]

Invest in your community? He’s saying he wants to help “where he grew up” AKA St Louis

[@jay-jay8191]

Even though he's doing this starting at St. Louis, he's still representing Boston. Being a great example and inspiration to others specially in Boston community to do something good for others.

[@LoneXWolfX99]

I hope JT & JB know how much Celtics fans including myself love & appreciate them. Not only two great players but also two great leaders. Without them the Celtics wouldn’t be the best team with the best record in the NBA. They are just humble & respectful human beings all around. Respect to JT for doing this to help struggling families in the future☘️☘️☘️

[@aieshadaniels6104]

Jayson TATUM is a leader on and off the court! Much respect keep growing and being you! This shall be a major blessing too many in his community!

[@carterwolgamott369]

Tatum has spent a grand total of $0 of his NBA contracts. He has saved all that money and is only “allowed” to spend money from advertisements. My favorite player in the NBA 🤝

Amazing 🎉

[@holly_wood26]

You can definitely teach him about financial literacy at 6. Start small. Give him a small allowance for doing simple chores around the house and then understanding about saving half of it and then putting the other half toward a toy that he wants.

[@carolynbarr770]

Wow!! A young business man as well 😀

[@alexrichrevue5731]

Big respect for Tatum even though I detest Boston as a city and the Celtics (did love Larry Bird and Hondo Havilchek) - will always remember Tatum for the game 7 battle in the 2018 Eastern Conference Finals against 'Bron -- he had no fear!! Nice suit too -- but needed a tie to finish it off -- a mustard yellow or gold!!

[@anthonyfriday3214]

Wealth is not the solution. Families is the solution. We keep throwing. money at these single parent homes and it does not work. We have to restore the family and the family united in order to create generational wealth.

Pretty cool!
