... you know, that woofing snarl he does after a tough bucket...? It is growing on me:) Maybe someday it will be up there with the McLeod snarl, the Dhantay snarl, and the Duhon snarl:)

I hope our Blue Devils all play with an edge this season. Some other good Duke celebrations were The Tatum “I’ve got this under control” hand gestures, the Tyus Jones double arm flex, the Kennard nodding his head no after making shots, and the Grayson Allen yell

Don’t forget Austin with a hand gesture telling everyone, even the Whine and Cheese Holes, he had it all figured out.

I liked the Henderson flex after the dunk on Maryland.

I also liked the Singler and Nolan wry smiles.

Yea not a big fan of the showboating. Act like you’ve done it before.
That holding your hand down with the (ok) 3 finger sign is the worst for me . I see some guys make a shot and like forget to do it, then do it just to do it . I guess because Steph does it? Just blahhh. Especially when a poor shooter makes a shot and does it!! I’m just like Yay ok you finally made a shot! Now your acting like your Steph?! Sit down! Lol Then you have Trae Young actually trying to be him ....;) You show up to the draft claiming you want to be different with your shorts......yea your game says otherwise.

With Zion it just seems like adrenalin rather than showing up the other team. RJ is putting on for the cameras a little. Coach K encourages high energy and emotion, so we’ll see it all year. I just want to see Bolden get hype one time please.

Yea I like the Adrenalin/ excitement type celebration stuff lol. Like arm pumping, flexing, etc, type stuff. The premeditated ones bug me (the ones to many people doing the same thing) and just doing it to do it type stuff for the camera. Kinda like a NFL celebration, but the NFL celebrations are more well deserved I guess lol. I enjoy them. Not this I make a shot, ima do the dab, then hold my 3 fingers on my arm type premeditated crap. Stupid to me . Camera crap.

It’s your job if you’re a professional. I don’t showboat here when I complete a task. I get paid to do a job, so I do it.

We should do a thread about opponents' similar displays that were annoying because, well, they weren't us.

Anyone remember Byron Mouton from Maryland? I despised that guy... he'd hit a three and do this stupid thing where he'd hop, throw his hands up by his head, and bob his head a few times while he hopped again. A bit hard to describe accurately to give you the visual but it was so cheesy. What a tool.

And Danny the dancing douchenozzle Green doing his stupid little dance right before tipoff.

I noticed most of the Kentucky players posing after every shot they made in their Bahamas games against those scrub teams. Wonder if they will do that all year in their blowouts? I would like to not see it too often from Duke players, although there are a few occasions it seems appropriate.

Yeah but they were 9 point underdogs so there’s that.

I know I will be in the minority here, but I did not mind the Danny Green dance. It’s actually one of my dance moves (which are not good by the way haha) when I have one too many adult beverages in me. I also met Green at the 2017 Final Four and he was a Class Act.

Dancing Danny was a douche.

Loved Quinn’s snarl, good call.

Elton’s was really exaggerated, and his scowl sold the hell out of it. Beast mode.
