This puts his extremely close and caring relationship with Deuce in perspective.
-
This is the saddest interview I’ve watched in a while. It definitely encourages me to let my son know how much I love him daily though.
-
Glad JT broke the cycle and has a great relationship with Deuce. He genuinely seems like a good father.
-
The fact that his parents were super hard on him explains why he responds so well to Ime Udoka’s gritty coaching style. He seems like a super mature young man to be able to speak about these experiences and turn it into positive energy.
-
Trying to push your kid to greatness is one thing, berating and humiliating to get that greatness out of him is another. You can argue “Hey, it worked”, but you can’t say he wouldn’t have made it this far with positivity and toughness at the same time.
-
Jayson seems to be emotionally intelligent and doing better with his son than what he experienced. I hope he is receiving love for himself too now. We all deserve that.
-
Seems like his father couldn't accept his failures and tried to live vicariously through his son. Thankfully Jayson seems like a wonderful father.
-
Very proud of this young black man - so mature and grounded.
-
It's not healthy to treat a kid like that, it can lead to a psychological issues, whether it be education or sport.
-
Graham is like a sports therapist. Athletes open up to him like they are in therapy. Asks a simple question and just let them talk freely.
-
I’ve learned the father son lessons become more valuable later in life.
-
He needed this release of those childhood demons. He needed this therapy. I pray that his father and him can restore and restart for that father/son relationship he so needs.
-
Speaking from past experiences with parents and coaches, emotional abuse creates scars that’ll never go away!
-
This interview made me so sad. I love Tatum. He seems to be a great dad, and a respectful young man, not to mention a hell of a player. I'm so happy he didn't let his pain control his future.
-
michael jordans father was a good dad always uplifting and supportive and positive
-
Many men use the excuse that they didn't have a father so they don't know how to be one and abandoned their duties. Good for him ending that BS excuse 👏
-
What a relief that Jayson is able to overcome his traumatic relationship with his father and model a more wholesome, loving, and balanced fsther-son bond with his son, Deuce, who adores him.
-
This made me cry… I’m Happy he’s successful now and he has a loving relationship with his son
-
I'd rather have my child not be a professional athlete if it had to come at the cost of not having a loving relationship with them. I find that kind of parenting gross. So happy Jayson can give Deuce what he never had. Jayson is an amazing father!!
-
I wish people could see that a person can certainly reach amazing heights without any trauma and abuse. All experiences aren’t necessary but I think it’s a defense mechanism when people say they wouldn’t trade a poor experience such as a abuse.
