American online personal financial and banking company SoFi has recently announced that it will become the sole banking partner of the NBA. The new-generation banking company is based out of San Fransisco. This is a big move from the traditional banks the NBA has partnered with since its inception. SoFi added another major statement to close the night. They announced their partnership with Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum and his Foundation, committing $1 million annually to help single-parent families. This announcement brought out some reactions from basketball fans.

Jayson Tatum was brought up in a single-parent family. He has always said that his mother raised him from birth alone and has been the driving force in his life. Tatum understands the plight a single parent goes through when bringing up their children alone in this world. He started his foundation to provide better resources to single parents who are struggling to meet basic needs. This is why SoFi decided to join hands with him.

Jayson Tatum has developed into a megastar for the Boston Celtics. Tatum has become the leader and leading scorer In his seventh season with one of the most storied franchises. His quest to bring a championship for the team has been his ultimate goal. 

I can’t stress enough how excited I am just knowing how many lives and the families that we can impact. And I can only imagine how much this would have impacted myself and my mom growing up.
Tatum said.

His success on the court translates to his efforts to bring about change in the lives of single parents. That is why, he courted several companies to help monetarily with his foundation. He wants single parents to be able to provide for the needs of their children so that the children can have a better future.

As soon as the news broke through on social media, fans could not wait to provide their opinions about the collaboration. One particular notion fans had is that SoFi did not partner with San Fransisco superstar Stephen Curry who came under fire for opposing realtors from building a low-income housing society near his house.
