Jayson Tatum definitely saw all your terrible jokes this week.

A funny photo recently viral on Twitter of a wax figure supposedly depicting actor Michael B. Jordan. Unfortunately, the figure looked more like Michael F. Jordan as it hardly bore any resemblance to the “Creed” star. Take a look.

Some amateur comedians online took it a step further and joked that it was actually the Boston Celtics star Tatum being portrayed in the wax figure.

Thus, it was inevitable the wax figure was going to come up in conversation when Tatum hosted an impromptu Twitter Q&A session this week. One of the last questions Tatum answered was from a fan who tweeted him the picture and wrote, “This u? Keep it a buck.”

“naw fam now stop asking me,” Tatum replied with laughing emojis.

While he did get a First Team All-NBA nod before leading his team to the Finals this year, the 24-year-old Tatum is probably still a long way off from actually getting a wax figure of his own. If and when he does get one though, Tatum will probably want his to be placed next to this particular wax figure.
