Deuce Tatum channeled his inner Kobe Bryant, posing with his hand on his cheek and sitting pensively with a trophy by his feet.

Deuce shined in the “No Books No Ball 2024 Pee Wee Division” and celebrated accordingly, with a sweatshirt showing a picture of himself on a “SLAM” cover.

The sweatshirt reads: “Jayson Tatum Jr. AKA Deuce. Which college will get this next rising star?”

Jayson Tatum posted the photo on Instagram and wrote: “My favorite hooper.”

Many commented, including Isaiah Thomas with fire emojis, Robert Williams III with a classic “Deuce Deuce,” and shooting coach Chris Matthews chimed in: “Bro look like he had 50pts 40rebs 20ast.”
