Jayson Tatum finalized a deal to become the newest Jordan Brand athlete Friday and celebrated Saturday by hanging out with Michael Jordan himself.
Tatum will likely begin the 2019-20 season with new responsibilities and expectations as the face of the franchise after the likely departures of Kyrie Irving and Al Horford. Getting a few pointers from the greatest basketball player of all time would definitely be a good way to prepare.
Celtics fans would be lying to you if they said they weren't a little uneasy watching Tatum train with Kobe Bryant last summer, so him meeting Jordan is a clear upgrade.
Tatum is also pictured with fellow Jordan Brand athletes Kemba Walker, Russell Westbrook, Maya Moore and Blake Griffin.
