What can't Jayson Tatum do?
The 26-year-old Boston Celtics star announced Wednesday that he was written a children's book called "Baby Dunks-a-Lot," a hilarious tale of a baby turned basketball superstar.
"Hope yall laugh at this one with us," Tatum wrote on a post shared to X, formerly Twitter.
The All-Star forward said he loved working on this project, saying he reads together all the time with his 6-year-old son Deuce -- a fixture at his dad's NBA games.

Fans may be wondering when Tatum had time to work on a children's book, something he was asked this week.
"I don't get much sleep, I know that," he responded, adding that it feels great to be called an author.
"It's something I'm really excited for," he added, sharing that it's been in the works for over a year and a half. "Eager for people to buy it and for kids to be inspired all over the world"
