The rise of Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum has been astounding. In his first five years, he has led the Celtics to three Eastern Conference Finals. And he is one game away from reaching his first NBA Finals. Tatum credits all of this success to another NBA star, Bradley Beal. They grew up as best friends in St. Louis. But that didn’t stop Tatum’s mom from calling him out for taking his son to the club.

Beal and Tatum attended the same school and became friends even though they were 5 years apart. These two have a little brother-big brother relationship. Tatum has said that Beal perfected his role as a big brother. He said he was the perfect role model and because of him; he was inspired to be a basketball player. But one of Beal’s actions irked his mom, which made her furious.

Jayson Tatum says his mom had talk with Bradley Beal

Tatum was on Draymond Green’s podcast and he addresses the situation when Beal was laid out by his mom. He says, “There’s plenty of summers where I’d spend the whole day with him. Brad was the first person to take me to the club when I was like 16. He took me to the club a few times. My mama found out. She cussed him out, but it was all love after that.”
