NBA players aren’t just known for their game-day heroics—they’re also stepping up off the court, using their platforms, influence, and resources to support and uplift those still working hard to create their own path.

Jayson Tatum Wanted To Leave The Boston Celtics Because Of One Player originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Back in 2017, the Boston Celtics made two major moves that would define their future, though not in the way anyone expected. First, they used the No. 3 overall pick to draft Jayson Tatum, a polished scorer from Duke.
