Jayson Tatum Visits “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon”

On Wednesday evening, Jayson Tatum was featured on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.” During his appearance, Tatum discussed his latest venture, a children’s book titled Baby Dunks-a-Lot, and shared the highlights of his eventful summer.

It seems there’s hardly anything left on Tatum’s to-do list. He’s clinched a championship title with the Boston Celtics, had the honor of throwing the first pitch in his native city, and ventured into children’s literature. Even amidst challenges like a struggling shot or battling for playtime during the Olympics, he managed to secure a gold medal in Paris.

The Highlight of Tatum’s Year

However, for Tatum, the real pinnacle of the year was being featured on the cover of NBA 2K25. Tatum expressed to Fallon, “That might be the coolest thing. As a kid, everyone plays NBA2K. Initially, you dream about just being in the game, which happens in your rookie year. But the ultimate dream? That’s being on the cover. Finding out I was going to be on it and seeing it now? It’s still an unreal feeling.”

The excitement around his appearance on the video game cover is tangible, but it’s hard to gauge how his impromptu rap battle about children’s books with Jimmy Fallon will compare on his list of cool moments.

A Twitter Tease

A recent tweet from The Tonight Show hinted at the playful competition: “.@jaytatum0 challenges Jimmy to a rap battle about their children’s books, Baby Dunks-a-Lot and 5 More Sleeps ‘Til Halloween #FallonTonight pic.twitter.com/3yHWPOllnw” — The Tonight Show (@FallonTonight) September 12, 2024.

As the off-season wraps up, there’s a growing eagerness for the basketball season to begin anew.


The anticipation for more NBA action is building as fans and players alike count down the days until the courts are full again.
