Jayson Tatum Going Viral For Brand-New Hairstyle

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum missed the first few days of Team USA's training camp due to personal reasons. During this hiatus, the NBA champion signed a five-year, $313-million contract, the largest in league history.

Tatum helped lead the Celtics to the best record in the 2023-24 regular season. The Celtics continued their success into the postseason, going 16-3 on their way to their 18th NBA title, a league record. This helped Tatum earn his new contract.

When arriving in Las Vegas for training camp, Tatum was seen sporting a new look. He decided to get a new haircut, trimming off a good portion of his hair and getting rid of his curls. The new cut looks very similar to the one he had when he was a rookie in 2017-18. The main difference is the beard.

Many NBA fans loved Tatum's new hairstyle for the Olympics and took to social media to leave their thoughts.

"Jayson Tatum got a fresh cut for the Olympics. His smooth jumper may return."

"Got his aura back"

"OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD BABY ROOKIE BUZZCUT TATUM IS BACK OH MY GOD"

"Bro just got a cut, it’s over for the league"

"ROOKIE SEASON"

"I ain’t gonna lie this is Aura"

Tatum is gearing up for his second Olympics appearance with Team USA. He won a gold medal in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and hopes to do the same in Paris. During his 2020 run, Tatum averaged 15.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game.
