You can't fail with a mother like this. Very wise and dedicated.

[jaysongranada]

My mother was my best friend too. ❤️ She passed away 7 years ago. I love her so much and she always supported me in all my endeavours too though I'm not that special.

Met her in person. As nice as she seems here, she is more impressive in person. Humble and down to earth.

This is one of my favorite Boston Celtics player. The relationship with his mother and him. His son deuce and him. He continue to upgrade his game offensively and defensively. It great how his Mom tough love and how he raised him. It to me beautiful. I been rooted for Boston Celtics for a long time. It's great to see the team togetherness and how they r playing like a family and having fun

“You cant want it more than they do” love LOVE how she didnt let the fame and riches the nba promises blind her and let jayson continue to be in the driver seat. Beautiful momma 💯

Jayson's mom Brandy is beautiful. When she was young she resembled DJ Spinderella for the 80's rap group Salt And Pepa.

Strong mother, keep working hard Tatum, Let's go Boston 🏆🏆

[FaTCaKeSs]

Smart lady people make fun of him for her controlling money but that man going to have save 1/2 a billion just from Celtic at end of his career. Because of her being though. Him being father just respect at all times with him

[brooklynballer]

That can't be his mom, that looks like his sister!
