Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics has every reason to be proud of his work for the team.

On Thursday night, Tatum, put up 27 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists.

That helped lead the Celtics to a monster 127-102 victory over the Miami Heat in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The performance by the team definitely deserved a locker room celebration.

That celebration featured a very special guest: Tatum’s son.

Jayson Tatum Jr. made his way to the locker room following the game.

He was seen walking through the room and celebrating the win with the team.

The little man walked down the line and gave a celebratory high five to each player.

That included Robert Williams and Jaylen Brown, who looked very happy to see him.

Recently, Jr. has become something of a mascot for the team.

He has also been a part of Boston’s surge into the postseason.

Supporting His Dad

Nicknamed Deuce, the cutest member of the Boston squad has been seen cheering on his father from the sidelines for months now.

Back in the first round as the Celtics were making easy work of the Brooklyn Nets, Deuce was spotted in the locker room.

He skipped around and cheered on his team after a big win.

Deuce has also made appearances on the Celtics’ court, attempting to dribble the ball at half court.

There have also been numerous photos of the little guy alongside his dad before and following games.

They’ve all been really adorable and turned viral.

Based on the way the Celtics have been playing lately, there is good reason to believe that we will be seeing a lot more of young Deuce.
