BOSTON Celtics forward Jayson Tatum has a low-key car collection for one of the NBA’s most high-profile stars.
Tatum is in the middle of a five-year contract with the Celtics worth $163 million.
But he turned his back on many of the pitfalls of being an NBA megastar.
“It was never a question of money, cars, fame or lifestyle”, Tatum told Atlético.
“I really love the game because I love basketball, not because of all the things that come with it.
“There are a lot of people who gamble and get involved in the lifestyle and choose that over gambling.”
