After the Boston Celtics returned from the NBA All-Star break, Luke Kornet hosted a big party.
Kornet took to the dab celebration during the Celtics’ victory over the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night, channeling his inner 2015 on the floor. The Boston center said he had been hoarding that celebration for a while.
Kornet said to NBC Sports Boston’s Abby Chin on Saturday, “I thought about it at some point this year or last year.” “When it occurred in the game, I wasn’t giving it any thought. I suddenly realized that there was no turning back. It’s out there now.
Similar antics are nothing new for Kornet from his time with the Celtics, particularly after his “eclipse” style of contesting shots captured the hearts of the fans the previous season. It’s impossible to predict what the 28-year-old will celebrate with next as he grows.
With his five points and four rebounds per game off the bench this season, the big man for the Boston Celtics continues to give the team more depth.
On Saturday night, Kornet and the Celtics take on the Knicks in New York with the goal of winning eight games in a row.
