Kim Kardashian's Son Saint Mistakes 'J.T.' for Jayson Tatum, Overlooking Justin Timberlake

NSYNC was the king of pop culture for a long time, and a recent discussion in the Kardashian household made that clear. When Kim Kardashian mentioned "J.T.," her son, Saint West, didn’t even think of Justin Timberlake — he immediately thought of Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum. Kim was left speechless, and it shows a bigger trend: NBA players are becoming the new celebrities, shaping pop culture like the music stars of the past.

In this episode, Kim Kardashian was throwing a Dollywood-themed party for Khloé's big 4-0. While brainstorming outfit ideas with Corey Gamble, Kim joked that he could "go full-on J.T." Suddenly, Saint piped up, asking, "J.T.? You mean Jayson Tatum?" Kim was surprised and shot back, "Do you even know who Justin Timberlake is?" Saint confessed he didn’t.
Reflecting on it later, Kim said, "Saint was like, 'Who is J.T.? Jayson Tatum?' That shows you what my kids are into."

This interaction points out a trend where athletes like Jayson Tatum are becoming more significant to today's youth than entertainers from the past. Justin Timberlake, who used to be a big deal as a member of NSYNC, seems to have faded from the spotlight for younger fans, showing just how quickly the world of fame can shift.

Jayson Tatum has made a splash among younger fans, thanks to his amazing skills on the court with the Boston Celtics and his fun social media presence. His approachable personality and fan interactions have made him a top role model for a lot of young basketball fans.
This change in perspective shows just how much sports stars have become significant players in pop culture, often outshining regular celebrities in their impact on the younger generation.


Saint West, the kid of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, has a bunch of interests that show off his lively personality. He’s super into sports, especially basketball and soccer, and he loves going to big soccer games and meeting pro players.
Plus, at just eight years old, he kicked off his own YouTube channel called "TheGoatSaint," where he posts gaming videos and shares what he’s into, all with his mom keeping an eye on things.
