Two of the most talented Boston athletes of the 21st century apparently share mutual respect.

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum revealed Monday on his Instagram story that he received a signed jersey from former Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss.

The No. 84 Vikings jersey came with a personalized message from Moss, who wrote, "To Jayson Tatum, Game recognize game. Huge fan!" then added his trademark catchphrase: "Straight cash homie."

We're not quite sure how Tatum and Moss connected, but both can relate to accomplishing big things in the Boston area; Moss is one of the best receivers in NFL history who set the league record for receiving touchdowns in a single season (23) during the Patriots' undefeated 2007 campaign.

Tatum has been "straight cash" himself lately, scoring a combined 79 points in his last two games while going 13 for 18 from 3-point range. The 25-year-old already is one of the NBA's best players in his sixth season and should earn his second consecutive First-Team All-NBA nod this season.
