He shouldn't get a technical for it, but I know that he wouldn't behave that way in the '80s or '90s or he would get hammered the next time he comes down the lane. Players didn't take too kindly to being shown up back then

I roll my eyes when nobodies or chokers do it. Like when Embiid does his plane. Dude needs to get out of the second round before he can pull out the taunting celebrations.


Be hilarious if they actually codified that.
First round losers can golf clap.
Second rounders can aeroplane or tap head.
Third rounders can slap backboards, shimmy, or bow and arrow.
Finalists can dance, gesture to the crowd, twerk, or moonwalk.
NBA Champions can salsa, worm, flip, slap opponents faces, teabag opposition bench players, wedgie opposition rookies, makeout with opposition cheerleaders or Lambada.

Bill Russell can literally do whatever the hell he wants.

I never get the sense he's showing anyone up, dude is just celebrating his success playing with joy. I never understand why we want these dudes to be robots out there.

I find it hilarious that just one series prior Ja's dancing during a game was such disrespect to the glorious GSW and their fanbase. GS fans were losing their minds over the blatant disrespect shown by the Grizz.

Now here they are thinking it's cute and "just let him do his thing, he's earned it!"


Hypocrites.

Never been a fan of showboating, always thought it was disrespectful. I know almost all players like to do it, but when I played sports (Hockey and Soccer) I wouldn't act like it was my first ever goal whenever I scored. Guess that's too old school now though, acting immature is celebrated these days and called "just having fun". It's so common it's part of the game now in every sport. One thing I always liked about Hockey, you showboat too much and you could find yourself in a fight and have to answer for it. At the very least you better have your head on a swivel every time you touch the puck.

Imagine a coach taking a challenge to review a showboat dance to see what legal dance they could do and assess a foul for not doing the correct dance.

Steph's mom danced out of Dell's life into a ex NFL players arms, so dancing does run in the family.

HAHAHA!!
I hadn't even thought of the coaches challenge angle...

'Yes, folks, Giannis clearly raised the elbow there. I think this challenge will stand. That appears to be a chicken dance...'

Your favorite team, plays the game they way they play, because of Curry.

Celtics and Mavs both stocked up on 3 point shooters, and launch 3's, because of Curry. He paved the way for other teams to become good. Hes basically the father of modern basketball at this point. You should probably show him more respect.


This is not a compliment.

The pace of today’s game is not a good thing as these crybaby millionaires can’t seem to play 82 games and injure themselves with these 3 point shootouts.

He looks like an idiot.

Between the mouthpiece and the dancing, he could fit in at a pre-school.
