Jayson Tatum Shares Hilarious Reaction to Mike Krzyzewski's Viral Workout Photo

Mike Krzyzewski, although retired for several years, remains close to Duke basketball.

Recently, images of Coach K exercising with former Duke guard and current Phoenix Suns player Grayson Allen became popular online, mainly due to fans' admiration for the 77-year-old Krzyzewski's commitment to fitness.

The post shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) by the official Duke Men's Basketball account also garnered attention from Jayson Tatum, a Duke alumnus who has achieved a series of significant career milestones.

Here's the original set of photos:

And Tatum's response was, "Naw Coach still hitting the bench press he's an animal lol."

Tatum had his stint at Duke during the 2016-17 season, playing in 29 games while averaging 16.8 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. His Blue Devils team was eliminated in the second round of that year's NCAA Tournament, prompting Tatum to enter the NBA Draft soon after.

Today, Tatum stands as an NBA champion and a two-time Olympic gold medalist, having established himself as one of the league's best players. Despite all he's accomplished, the spirit of Duke lives through him as one of Coach K's former students.
