The watch in question was no ordinary timepiece. Tatum was wearing a Richard Mille RM 88 Smiley, a luxury watch valued at a staggering $2.8 million. Known for its intricate design and high-end materials, including a baseplate made of 90% grade-five titanium and a case of white ceramic and red gold, the watch is a testament to Tatum’s taste for luxury.
The light-hearted moment occurred as Tatum and teammate Derrick White were fielding questions from the media. The reporter’s offbeat question caught Tatum off guard, leading to a burst of laughter from both players. Tatum, still amused, responded with a simple, “That’s crazy,” before moving on to the next question.
