Fans of the Boston Celtics have watched star forward Jayson Tatum grow from a gangly 19-year-old kid to one of the top players in the NBA, picking up a Jordan Brand shoe line along the way.
The St. Louis native recently put together a video of his go-to moves on the basketball court for the official Jordan Brand YouTube channel to show some of what propelled him to such heights.
Tatum excels at attacking defenders off the dribble, keeping them off balance and shooting over the top when they relax. He employs various sidestep moves to create space and separation from defenders. To score, Tatum uses his size to create contact with defenders, keeping them off balance and reading their leaning movements.
That’s just a hint of what you will see in the clip embedded below; be sure to tune in to see it for yourself.
