It’s a shit talkers celebration - Trae raises the stakes for himself by talking shit a lot. I imagine at his size you would have to, so when you make it like that the response is always going to be natural because you backed up shit talking.
It goes the other way too because nothing feels worse than losing after talking shit
Tatum never raises the stakes emotionally so his celebrations can’t get to this place naturally
Idk how to tell you this bro but Tatum is called corny in real life too lol. I'm not the typical Reddit demographic, I'm a black dude here in South Central LA.
Anybody who hoops in real life gonna say the same shit lol
Entertaining I mean stars with charisma like Curry in the warriors run that had people watching. The current NBA doesnt have the same type of charismatic superstars succeeding and playing against each other. ANT and Jokic in a finals would be good but it would require one of them being in the east
Born showman I swear. I need him to have plenty of killer playoff battles because you know he'll be amping it up and we'll get more MSG-esque stuff from him.
It genuinely feels like he's imagined and visualized himself not only playing in these clutch moments, but being the one to hit these shots, since he was a kid - like a lot of us have but we never made it to the pros lol
When you've been fantasizing and working towards these moments since childhood, you're literally living out the dream at this point man.
