Since the Boston Celtics' first championship win in 2008, Jayson Tatum has played an instrumental role, leading in points, assists, and rebounds during the crucial Game 5. Despite his stellar performance, some audiences criticized his subsequent celebrations.

A user with the handle Hater Report drew comparisons between Tatum's NBA Championship celebrations and the iconic speeches and phrases used by NBA legends in a series of posts on social media platform X.


Tatum was noted for reenacting Kevin Garnett's exuberant celebration that occurred 16 years ago when the Celtics clinched the NBA title against the Los Angeles Lakers, albeit with a different language.

Further accusations aimed at Tatum allege him replicating Stephen Curry's bold statement, "What they gonna say now!?" made at the 2022 Golden State Warriors' championship victory.

Additionally, parallels were drawn between Tatum's reactions and Kanye West's renowned "I guess we'll never know" speech at the Grammys, which served as a retort to critics who doubted his potential for success.

Tatum exceeded Larry Bird's record for the most-point games in a regular Celtics season and became the tenth player in the history of the NBA to accumulate 9,000 career points before reaching 25 years.
