Video: Celtics’ Jayson Tatum trolls Hornets’ Grant Williams in new children’s book | News, scores, highlights, stats and rumors

Tatum debuted the new book and Williams’ cameo at a book event in New York.

The book was released on September 10 by Abrams Books.

Tatum pointed out that the book also includes illustrated versions of LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers, Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors and Jimmy Butler of the Miami Heat.

“Shout out to those guys for being a part of this,” Tatum said.

When Tatum was asked what he hoped the book would inspire in his readers, the Celtics star replied, “That anything you dream about or want to do is possible with the love and support of the people around you. No one is successful in isolation and you can never dream too big.”

Apparently Tatum dreamed of dunking on Williams, who played with the current Hornets forward for four seasons in Boston.

Williams played a key role in the Celtics’ backups during his time in the city, including playing in all 24 postseason games in 2022 and helping the team reach the NBA Finals.
