Talking to the press Wednesday, Tatum made an admission that he hears fans during games and sees them on social media pleading with him to hit bets and parlays, and they also let him know whether or not he’s landed them their money.
“Fans yell s**t all the time, shoot one more three, get one more rebound, get 25 before the half is over,” said Tatum, according to SB Nation’s Noa Dalzell. “I guess I do feel bad when I don’t hit people’s parlays. I don’t want them to lose money, but I’m just out there trying to play the game.”

Okay, so you guys know me … I’m a fan of the Miami Heat and it goes against my code to be positive with anything involving the Celtics, but I can’t lie. Jayson Tatum won me over with this one.
A man of the people! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
