ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - You can take the man out of St. Louis. But you can't take St. Louis out of the man.
It's a premise that NBA superstar Jayson Tatum proved to be true on Sunday when he was asked by an ESPN reporter who he thought would win the Super Bowl. His answer made everyone in his hometown extremely proud.
Tatum is a 2016 graduate of Chaminade, who went on to play at Duke, then selected by the Boston Celtics No. 3 overall in the 2017 NBA Draft.
Despite not living in St. Louis, he still knew what the entire region was thinking about Sunday's Super Bowl matchup with the LA Rams versus Cincinnati Bengals. When asked who he thought would win the game, he answered: "St. Louis Rams."
Mic drop.
And St. Louis social media loved it.
