[@LifeOfScenario]

This was 2012. Jayson Tatum was playing in middle school aau camps, while Lebron James and the heat was going to face Kevin Durant and the okc thunder. It’s crazy to think about

[@SnuggieMaple]

Now Jayson Tatum is dunking on Lebron

[@psychakilla]

Couple years later Tatum would face LeBron in the eastern conference finals and dunk on him in his ROOKIE YEAR. And that was like 5 years ago

[@SnuggieMaple]

@tonys617 That’s crazy!!!

[@omarbeltran0130]

I’m a Spurs fan and I love my team but damn y’all Celtics are lucky , Tatum is cold asf and he’s just a rookie he put up a great fight against the Cavs ,superstar in the making #respect

[@zach222shifty]

[@thechan_man5592]

Now he holds the record for most points scored in a game 7 with 51!

[@NewYorkMets978]

Always had those wide shoulders. Him adding more size through his career you’re already noticing it there.

[@alanm6o9]

Thanks tatum you proved me wrong about you and you made this year a blast to watch. God for a rookie imo

[@ShnugFlug]

His movements looked slow back then, but his jump shot and basketball IQ was on point.

[@_THETRIPODCAST]

Tatums Next level is for him to get stronger which most rookies go through. His skill set is all All Star level. He has a bright future.

[@chrisworland7754]

talented dude! his jump shot looks more solid in this though, anybody know if he has tweaked it a bit since this footage was taken?

[@killumanati1315]

1:22 spin is nasty. Tough footwork for someone that young to do and not travel.

[@A1B2C33720]

He could dunk at how old? 13? 14? Dam

[@SB-dh9sb]

[@qistan]

this kid is pretty good, hope that celtics would draft him one day

[@bturg2121]

6 years later he is jamming on lebrons head

[@FATAHabdifatah]

the title is pretty scary nowadays since theres so much school shooters im suprised the video is not demonitized

[@CityLeagueHoopsTV]

Perhaps because it’s kids playing basketball and has nothing to do with school shootings, just a guess

[@FATAHabdifatah]

CityLeagueHoopsTV but ik how stupid youtube can be sometimes were they would demonitize words like killing

[@CityLeagueHoopsTV]

Yeah sometimes it's a bit outrageous, but I think since there is no dialogue just basketball and music that makes it a little bit easier to see that there is nothing that would set off alarms

[@1kaveni]

this kids gonna be in the nba one day i cant feel it

[@MDHDH-iy7nm]

damn, thats fuckin crazy; never expected this kid would have killed somebody... so glad he got a second chance #goceltics
