Streaming star Duke Dennis had some jokes for Jayson Tatum

Jayson Tatum was clearly not enjoying the spotlight on the AMP crew’s stream. The Boston Celtics star made a pitstop to hang out with streaming stars Duke Dennis and Agent 00 before heading to the Chase Center for the NBA All-Star game on Sunday. But his meeting didn’t go quite as planned.

After dropping by the stream, Tatum immediately looked disengaged from the stream and the conversation between Dennis and Agent 00, whose real name is Din Muktar. As the conversation shifted towards basketball, Duke Dennis revealed that he was never interested in basketball. He even tried out for the team but did not go back after being selected.

I never wanted to play basketball, ever. In fact, I actually, went and tried out, made the team, and never looked back.

Duke Dennis said on stream

These comments didn’t seem to sit well with Jayson Tatum, who looked confused on the stream. Being a global basketball star, it was definitely disconcerting to hear the Streamers talk about their dislike for his profession. This wasn’t the only time in the night that Tatum was taken aback on the stream, as the Stream Chat for Dennis and Agent brought up the infamous ‘We Did It’ celebration by Tatum as soon as he joined the stream.

As Tatum admitted at the beginning of the stream, this was his first time ever doing a stream. While his YouTube channel has certainly given him enough online experience, joining a livestream with thousands of viewers watching seemed like it caused Jayson Tatum to be visibly nervous.

Can Jayson Tatum win the All-Star MVP again?

While Jayson Tatum did take some time to drop by Duke Dennis and Agent 00’s stream, his focus will definitely be set on the upcoming All-Star Game on Sunday. The revamped format will definitely be a new challenge for the 26-year-old star, who is set to star in his 6th All-Star game. After winning the NBA championship last season, Tatum will look to put up a statement performance this year.

This season, Tatum has been a driving force behind the Boston Celtics’ dominance in the Eastern Conference, where they currently sit as the 2nd seed. Averaging over 27 points per game while continuing to evolve as a playmaker and defender, the 26-year-old forward has been making a strong case for himself as one of the league’s elite.

After winning the All-Star Game MVP in 2023 with a record-setting 55-point performance, Tatum has firmly established himself as one of the must-watch players in the league’s midseason showcase. But with another stacked roster of superstars set to take the court this year, can he rise above the competition and claim the award once again?
