Jayson Tatum Dressed Exactly Like Kobe Bryant Did For His Celtics Draft Workout 

When Jayson Tatum entered the league in 2017, Kobe Bryant was one of the first to call out that he’s destined for greatness.

Bryant and Tatum then started what became a great relationship between, colleagues, competitors and friends. It was special for Tatum, who called Kobe his idol and his inspiration, when he was a young man.

A couple of years ago, the Celtics star even revealed that he didn’t like the Celtics at all and used to hate the team before playing out there. The All-Star wanted to play for the purple and gold growing up, due to his Kobe Bryant fandom.

After sending a text message to Kobe Bryant’s old phone number before Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Tatum now dressed for yesterday’s practice exactly like Kobe die for his pre-draft Celtics workout in 1996.
