“I knew he was gifted — he would do things and make moves and that you just couldn’t teach,” Boston Celtics' jaytatum0's mom Brandy Cole-Barnes tells SheinelleJones in the latest episode of “Through Mom’s Eyes,” a digital-exclusive series for TODAY.
Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum's mom, Brandy Cole-Barnes, says she knew her son would make it big when he was in just fourth grade.
Cole-Barnes shares that she got pregnant with Tatum at a young age, and people around her told her she wouldn't amount to anything because of her pregnancy. But instead of letting the criticism get to her, Cole-Barnes used those comments as fuel to ensure she didn't become"another statistic." She also notes that her son often points out that he is making more money than his mother, who has four degrees.
Cole-Barnes reveals she used to text her son at halftime during NBA games because she felt he"needed a little fire up under him." But over time, she began to see how brutal social media was to her son, and instead pivoted toward giving him the nod of support he wouldn't always get from fans.
