The Golden State Warriors played against the Boston Celtics a few hours ago. Many considered it to be a rematch of the 2022 NBA Finals when the Warriors came out on top. It was also one of the most anticipated games of the season mainly because of the rivalry between the Warriors players and the Celtics fans. On the night, the home side took a narrow 121-118 win with Jayson Tatum putting up 34 points on the board.

Another event that caught the eyes of NBA fans was when Draymond Green had a fascinating interaction with Jayson Tatum’s son Deuce. It happened when the Celtics superstar was in the middle of a post-game interview. Dray seemed to have wrapped a towel over Deuce’s head and given him a soft flip. Although Deuce appeared to fall over from the head rush, he was being a good sport and even laughed at DG!
NBA fans believe Draymond Green gave Deuce Tatum the ‘Jordan Poole treatment’
Many described the interaction as “wholesome” or “cute,” but NBA Twitter had an interesting response to DG’s act on the night. A fan tweeted, “Draymond just attacked a child on the court.” It is quite obvious that the response was meant to be sarcastic, but the NBA community did not stop there.
Draymond just attacked a child on the court. This violence needs to end..

Wholesome? He tried to take out future competition. Sadly for him Deuce is much tougher than Jordan Poole

Many claimed that DG mistook Deuce for Jordan Poole and tried to “attack him.” For those who don’t know, DG shook the NBA world up when he punched his Warriors teammate Jordan Poole during practice. It caused a whole string of rumors and reports about the Warriors board letting go of Dray. At the end of the day, both players stayed at The Bay and are fighting together on the court.
We have seen Deuce with his dad often now. Jayson has disclosed to the world in the past that he’s looking to set an example to all the other fathers out there through his close relationship with Deuce. It’d surely be safe for us to claim that Jayson and Deuce are one of the best and most famous father-son duos in the league.
