Jayson Tatum, Matthew Tkachuk recreate childhood photo
Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum and Florida Panthers standout Matthew Tkachuk are not only St. Louis natives, but they went the same prep school as children. When the St. Louis Cardinals welcomed the two to throw out ceremonial first pitches on Sunday, it was only appropriate to have them recreate a viral photo from their school days. Tkachuk and Tatum were the subjects of a long-circulating photo from their middle school days, as both of them attended Chaminade College Preparatory School in St. Louis. They recreated that photo on Sunday, and they even recruited the third classmate that had photobombed them to make the picture complete.

More on this storyline
Bill Simmons: In the last few days there’s been some I think legitimate buzz about Jeff Bezos buying the Celtics, and I think it’s real. I think he’s gonna be one of the suitors. Which got me thinking, Jeff Bezos when he’s looking at the Celtics, what is he seeing? What does he want? And I think the only way it makes sense is that it’s one of the crown jewel franchises. That’s why you get it. To him, it would be no different than if you bought this famous gigantic $300 million yacht but I think it’s real that he’s potentially in the mix for this. -via YouTube / August 19, 2024

Carmelo Anthony on Jayson Tatum: They wanted him to do what Devin Booker did. Be a stretch four, space the court, play some defense, get some rebounds that’s it. But if you’re not told what’s your role and you just told to figure it out right now if I get in the game, I’m overthinking like we humans too! Basketball players are human athletes. I love talking about it because I want these young athletes out here to know sh*t is real out here. This man has one of the best resumes over the four or five years out of any player in any sport. What he went through I want everybody to see that sh*t like that sh*t hurt to go through that around the world, I literally take my hat off to him, because he was resilient. He stood there and the world knows that he’s f*cking pissed. -via YouTube / August 18, 2024
