  • Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum remembers the many sacrifices his mom made as a teenager, and her battles to pay bills as a single mom working long hours. Tatum looks back on nights when the utilities were cut off, a shocking foreclosure and talks of his determination as a boy to put himself in a position where he can one day provide for his mom and grandma. Plus, we hear how the blessing of a $10,000 check from his mom’s friend provided the cushion needed for his family to get back on their feet.

    I bumped into Graham on a plane last month and I have never met such a down to earth guy. I had a million questions for him, but he followed all of them up with a questions about me! Graham, if your reading this, thanks for being an example of a class dude and providing positive content for the world.

    I'm a Celtic fan, and like Coach K, have had my moments of thinking JT was soft. These videos have completely changed my view of him. I'm pleased to get to know the real man and his mother. Great stuff Graham.

    Jayson your father not only liked you ..he loved you. As adults we have to remember that we do not know our parents 'back story '. Parents never really tell their children every thing about their upbringing. Somethings are better left unsaid. Sometimes parents mimick what was shown to them maybe your father only knew though love as a way of saying 'I love you'. That doesn't mean it was right it just means that's what he was taught. I am sure you father showed love towards you as best as he could. Never forget that. Always strive to be the change you want to see in the world. Keep this in mind..no matter how much of your upbringing you share with your children you will never tell them everything because some memories people mentally block out for one reason or another. I will tell you something that a wise person told me. 'Hold on to the good memories, and let the bad ones go". In time you will see that having inner peace is worth more than you could have ever imagined. While you will never be perfect you will always be a work in progress as a child of God. Your friend in Christ Jesus.
