After 6 Years, LeBron James Makes 14-Year Old Jayson Tatum’s Dream Come True

This past offseason, Jayson Tatum got to play against one of his chilhood idols, LeBron James. He even got to posterize him.

While Tatum and his Celtics eventually closely lost the series against the Cavaliers, James now made 14-year old Jayson Tatum’s dream come true. He followed him on Twitter.

When Tatum was 14, he posted a picture of himself and LeBron on Twitter asking him to follow him.

That tweet went viral before the start of the Eastern Conference Finals. James, who tends to take a break from social media for the playoffs, now finally followed Tatum. He also explained why it took so long.

“By the way I never saw this tweet until after the season was over. People told me about it going into the Boston series but I wasn’t on social to see for myself.”
