Luke Kornet threw down a put-back slam within the early phases 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 massive 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 That might be ten years in the past, which means Kornet was 18 years outdated on the time. However based mostly on his present social media exercise, his behind-the-times celly truly makes a ton of sense.

Once more, it’s 10 years, not six, however Kornet will get a cross for his time-logging inaccuracies due to how effectively he performed on Thursday.
The Boston Celtics took down the Chicago Bulls’ 129-112, and Kornet’s big-time fourth-quarter exhibiting performed an enormous half.
Following his dab-highlighted slam, he dunked house 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 mentioned. “After which typically they simply form of bounce your means. Payton had a few threes, too.
“And so, I really feel like we did an excellent job of form of simply enjoying towards their coverages and making the most of 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 pictures.”
The Celtics massive man is aware of his function and performs it effectively.
“I like Luke,” mentioned Jayson Tatum. “He’s the last 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 is never flashy. And when he’s, he makes certain to be flashiest within the corniest means attainable. (Pun completely supposed.) That’s simply what he brings to the desk, and his Celtics teammates adore him for it.
“He is likely to be, like, the funniest man on our staff,” Tatum mentioned. “So, he retains everyone’s spirits excessive. So, I believe we obtained a well-balanced staff of various personalities and totally different guys, and Luke is a crucial a part of this staff.”
