Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum is trending over his celebration after winning the NBA Championship.
On Monday night, the Celtics defeated the Dallas Mavericks in game 5 of the NBA Finals to win a record-setting 18th championship.
Immediately after the game, Tatum was interviewed by ESPN, and he immediately began yelling, “We Did it.”

Fans noticed that Tatum’s celebration was very similar to Kevin Garnett’s “Everything is possible” celebration from 2008.

Tatum went on to get mocked on social media over his celebration.
“Jayson Tatum trying his hardest to recreate every NBA title celebration moment he watched on YouTube” said one fan.
“I am disregarding the absolutely incredible season Boston had and the insanely difficult accomplishment of winning an NBA championship because of how cringey this was.” commented another fan.
Tatum probably doesn’t care what anyone thinks about his celebration considering he just accomplished his dream on Monday night.
