Some NBA players, like Donovan Mitchell, have an affinity for ostentatious supercars and muscular SUVs. Others, like Devin Booker, like to stick with the oldies; during the 2021 NBA Finals, we got to witness some of his insane spins. Jayson Tatum, the star player for the Boston Celtics, fits into the latter category.
Upon perusing his Instagram feed, we discovered that Tatum and his child had just been seen standing next to a black Ford Mustang. The star forward reportedly received this antique pony for his 23rd birthday last year. Additionally, it is specially made, with the initials JT engraved on the back of the cabin.
Although we are unaware of the level of tune this Mustang has had or the kind of engine it is running, it doesn’t really matter since it is very well-maintained.
The 24-year-old phenom just pulled off one of the greatest upsets of the year, defeating the Brooklyn Nets 4-0 in the 2022 NBA Playoffs first round (sorry, Drei, our assistant news editor). We expect to see Tatum’s Mustang driving up to games in Boston more often as the Celtics continue their playoff run.
