WATCH: Jayson Tatum rejects Deuce’s shot at basketball camp

Watch as Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum rejects Deuce’s shot at basketball camp. On Thursday, Chaminade College Preparatory School hosted ProCamps for youth basketball players.

The school is located in Creve Coeur, Missouri. Tatum’s 4-year-old son, Deuce, started walking toward the hoop with the ball.

With the three-time All-Star guarding his son, Deuce attempted his shot underneath the basket. It did not end well.

Of course, Tatum instantly rejected Deuce’s shot. Competitive players like Tatum will never show even his own child mercy. At least Deuce tried. And there’s a lesson behind this.

When an opponent is towering over you, try moving around him. After the block, coaches were heard in the background yelling, “Ohhhhh!”
