Tatum’s close bond with his son has been well documented, and in a new Netflix docuseries titled “Starting 5,” fans will get an even deeper look at their relationship. The series follows Tatum’s journey throughout the 2023–24 NBA season and reveals personal moments that highlight their connection.

At the premiere of the docuseries, Tatum shared a heartwarming tradition he has with Deuce. During the premiere of the series, he revealed that he sends Deuce a postcard from every city he visits on Celtics road trips. Deuce hangs them up with care on a board.

“He makes jokes about it. Oh, I know, you gotta go play basketball so you can buy me all these nice things. I send postcards home every road trip. And everyone has a note behind it. Let them know where I’m at,” Tatum said.

“We have like this NBA map in his room,” he added.

With Jayson Tatum, “Starting 5” featured LeBron James, Jimmy Butler, Anthony Edwards, and Domantas Sabonis. During a recent interview on Thursday, Tatum opened up about his motivation to join the project after Netflix approached him with the idea.

“When they came to me with the idea, at the time they said LeBron was in it, and honestly he was like, ‘Yo, you could wait until Season 2. Obviously LeBron’s in it; you could maybe be the star of Season 2,’” Tatum said.

“I was like, ‘No, I want to be a part of the first one.’ And I was like, ‘I think we’re gonna win a championship.’ And we did,” he added.

The 2023-24 season was a dream come true for Tatum and the Celtics team. Hence, “Starting 5” is the perfect idea in Tatum’s eyes to make the season more memorable for him and the fans.
