Few things have taken over the NBA world quite like Ja Morant’s finger gun celebration.
This story just won’t go away.
Even in a game that didn’t include Ja Morant, it still comes up.

Compare it to the tape of both celebrations, and it’s pretty good!
Honestly, who could blame them?
Just look at Dirk in that clip!

When have we ever seen Dirk act this way?
I mean, look at this guy!
Admit it, every single person reading this blog would act the exact same way.

We’d all cave in 0.2 seconds if we were in Dirk’s spot here.
If anything, I find this makes Dirk more relatable.
Before this clip, none of us had anything in common with Dirk.
He’s a basketball legend, a Mavs icon and one of the greatest to ever do it.
99.9% of us cannot relate to his life in any way.
We’ve all been there.
It’s no reason to be embarrassed, it’s how things usually go.
This just proves that it doesn’t really matter who you are.
A regular stoolie or an NBA legend.
On some level, we’re all the same.
