Michelle Obama‘s national nonpartisan voting project ‘When We All Vote’ has announced that Boston Celtics player Jayson Tatum will formally join the organization as a Co-Chair. Tatum now joins other basketball stars, Stephen Curry and Chris Paul in the initiative. These initiatives are important to create awareness among US citizens before the Presidential Elections.
Tatum announced the news on his Instagram that he is joining Michele Obama and the When We All Vote team as a co-chair. Tatum sent out a clear message to the US citizens, requesting the people to register on the National Registration Day.
I’m excited to join Michelle Obama in the When We All Vote team as a co-chair. Our right to vote is so important, so I had to answer the call. Today is national Voter’s Registration Day…Election day is less than 50 days away so it’s time to lock in the game and register to vote.

Meanwhile, Tatum’s stint with Team USA at the Paris Olympics was underwhelming. Tatum rarely featured for his nation during the event and seemed visibly frustrated by this. Amidst all the noise surrounding him, Tatum handled his situation gracefully. He is now ready and locked in for the upcoming 2024-25 NBA season.
Jayson Tatum ‘confident’ of winning NBA MVP Award ahead of 2024-25 NBA season
Despite years of playing at an MVP level, Jayson Tatum has yet to win an MVP award. In the MVP vote, he finished 12th in 2019-20. Sixth in 2021-2022. Fourth in 2022-2023, and sixth in 2023-2024.
Tatum is currently receiving a lot of attention in the NBA community for his recent assertion on the ‘Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.’ Tatum stated on the broadcast that he ‘will win the NBA MVP Award’ over Denver Nuggets player Nikola Jokic in the 2024-25 NBA season. This is a huge statement made by the Celtics star ahead of the 2024-25 NBA season.
However, earning the NBA MVP Award would be a difficult assignment for Tatum. Jokic remains one of the main candidates to win the MVP award the next season.
Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic is additionally anticipated to be a significant contender. As a result, it remains to be seen whether Tatum can achieve his goal of earning the NBA MVP Award in the 2024-25 season.
