Luke Kornet threw down a put-back slam within the early levels of the fourth quarter on Thursday night time. As he was working again down the court docket, he began dabbing.
It’s 2024.
“I consider it’s known as ‘The Spazz Dab,’” Kornet defined. “It’s [from] like, center schoolers from like six years in the past. I believe it was large then.”
Shut, Luke.
The Migos introduced out the transfer at a live performance in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 2014. That might be ten years in the past, which means Kornet was 18 years previous on the time. However based mostly on his present social media exercise, his behind-the-times celly truly makes a ton of sense.
“I’m not on TikTok nor every other social media avenue,” Kornet stated. “So, that’s why my social media content material is from six years in the past, I assume. It’s type of the final time I used to be on there.”
Once more, it’s 10 years, not six, however Kornet will get a go for his time-logging inaccuracies due to how properly he performed on Thursday.
The Boston Celtics took down the Chicago Bulls’ 129-112, and Kornet’s big-time fourth-quarter displaying performed an enormous half.
Following his dab-highlighted slam, he dunked dwelling one other monster put-back. The bucket prolonged the Celtics’ result in 19 factors and compelled the Bulls to name a timeout.
“I used to be simply attempting to do my job and do what I can and set screens and roll,” Kornet stated. “After which generally they only type of bounce your manner. Payton had a few threes, too.
“And so, I really feel like we did a superb job of type of simply taking part in in opposition to their coverages and profiting from what they had been doing. And I used to be capable of get a few dunks and get out and transition, and a few guys hit some photographs.”
The Celtics large man is aware of his function and performs it properly.
“I really like Luke,” stated Jayson Tatum. “He’s the final word teammate. Final skilled. By no means is aware of precisely when his time is gonna come or his minutes, however he’s at all times ready. He at all times is aware of the sport plan. He’s going to do all of the issues to set screens, DHOs, assist give second-chance, third alternatives.”
Kornet isn’t flashy. And when he’s, he makes certain to be flashiest within the corniest manner attainable. (Pun completely meant.) That’s simply what he brings to the desk, and his Celtics teammates adore him for it.
“He is perhaps, like, the funniest man on our group,” Tatum stated. “So, he retains all people’s spirits excessive. So, I believe we received a well-balanced group of various personalities and totally different guys, and Luke is a crucial a part of this group.”
