Star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum recently made a pit stop to appear on the popular “Jimmy Kimmel Show” recently on the Celtics West Coast swing, popping on the late-night talk show to chop it up with the eponymous host ahead of the tilt against the Los Angeles Clippers earlier this week.

The St. Louis native gave new versions of some well-tread tales from his past (such as his fandom of Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant as a child, how his first time meeting the G.O.A.T. Michael Jordan went, and how life was growing up with mother Brandy Cole, to name a few) as well as a few new stories he shared with us all.

If you missed the appearance or just want another look, we have embedded it below for your viewing pleasure.
