Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum and his 4-year-old son Deuce are known for the cute moments they share together on and off the court. The latest viral moment between the pair happened when they were playing basketball together at Tatum’s camp.
With dozens of other kids watching, Deuce ran to the basket to launch a shot. Tatum, however, mercilessly rejected his son’s shot to the other side of the court. Deuce then looked around with a bewildered expression, as his plan clearly didn’t go how he expected.
The child’s hilarious expression has now caught the internet’s attention.
People are taking screenshots of the boy’s expression just to get a few more laughs.

According to the New York Post, the viral moment happened when Tatum was hosting a youth basketball camp at his alma mater, Chaminade College Preparatory School in St. Louis.
Deuce, who is often seen at his father’s games, has become a fan favorite in Boston.
The toddler had one of his unforgettable moments when he spoke about his vacation plans during his father’s press conference.
“I will go swimming in Miami,” he said in May.
