BANNED Celebrations In The NBA

throwing up gang signs to grabbing your d these are the nba's banned celebrations and jimmy butler's taunt made me think basketball gets him a little too excited cause during the first round of the playoffs jimmy was sidelined for game five and after jimmy's teammate splashed a three that's when he whipped it out [Music] max struce to the rescue uh jimmy you're on live tv not only fans and well the nba wasn't trying to pay for jimmy's subscription instead they made jimmy give them the bag finding him 15k and jimmy blamed his celebration on his coach expo's fault he always says to celebrate everybody else's success max going to 10-0 run i celebrate i get fine yeah now celebrating because your coach told you to i mean that's one thing at least jimmy's celebration didn't show the world what he was packing like lebron james taunt yeah lebron was amped cause all night long he couldn't be stopped and with a minute left this became the most viral play of the night [Music] but hitting that three isn't what pissed everyone off it was lebron's celebration see he busted out an infamous taunt that only nba legends were known for sam cassell klay thompson fred van fleet even kobe made it popular the big balls dance so lebron should have known running down the court doing this what cost him more than a few racks because not only did he get fined one of the nba's greatest players ever put lebron on blast lebron was fined fifteen thousand dollars for doing a big ball stance after the lakers win over the pistons why do you need to do a stupid childish dance and disrespect the other team on the court it doesn't make sense goats don't dance kareem's right man this is the nba not the bbc we ain't trying to see all that but lebron was just having fun at least he wasn't on live tv celebrating a murder like dwyane wade loki wade ain't who you think he is we're talking about a man who grew up in shy rack dude was born to be a shooter and well during his first nba game back in his hometown with 30 seconds to go wade went for the kill [Applause] [Music] damn wade that's cold but even though it was just a celebration the nba was furious because just a few years before kevin durant sparked a worldwide controversy when he did the celebration so when the league saw wade slash his throw they not only forced him to tweet out an apology they slapped him with a 25 000 fine but wade celebration ain't the only one that turned violent gerald green's tongue came straight out of gta and i think he took shooting his shot a little too literally because after knocking down his first jumper dude raced his trigger fingers and sniped the crowd but green was just getting started cause after his second shot dude really pulled out a draco in the middle of an nba game now green didn't mean anything serious but the nba didn't care what he was thinking all they saw was a maniac shooting weapons at the crowd so after the game they find him 25 bands for his illegal celebration but after green hopped on the gram to show how much he cared saying cost me 25 might as well post it dude's tripping man but see that taunt inspired players for years like josh jackson because this dude got so fed up with fans clowning him he shot him up and after josh straight up lied when asked if he was pulling the trigger he really said that's what most people thought i was doing but i actually wasn't like what what else could that have been a spray bottle josh be honest man you trying to make fans wet like dwight howard's celebration you know the time is celebration let everyone know he's a freak cause one game the hornets ran a fast break and dwight slammed at home and after he tied the game you could tell he was feeling himself a little too much yeah dude let the crowd know he ain't just a freak on the court now i personally thought the celebration was funny but the nba thought it was a little weird that a grown ass man was tonguing his fingers on live tv so they slapped him with a 35 000 fine but at least white only celebrated once because kyrie irving went all out doing four band celebrations in a single game kyrie came into a rivalry against his former celtics roster and cause he left them on bad terms the fans were still butthurt so they clowned him all night long at halftime they even followed him to the locker room roasting him don't be like kyrie man subscribe but after halftime the fans and kyrie got even more disrespectful in the third quarter kyrie made a clutch play and let the fans know what's good irving fires away got it a two-pointer for kyrie irving and i think he might have saluted them with a hand signal right there damn but disrespecting the fans twice that wasn't enough later in the fourth kyrie heard the crowd still trying to get in his head and when he was on the sidelines he not only flipped off the fans he mocked them for crying now at this point kyrie was definitely getting fined but in the post-game interview he made sure his words cost him fifty thousand dollars when people start yelling and you and all this stuff there's but so much you can take you know we're the ones expected to be docile and be humble and take a humble approach no that's the playoffs but 50k is nothing to kyrie he's never afraid to let the world know what he's repping and speaking of that john wall's celebration shows he's weapon the gang life during wall's time with the wizards he was a different breed he quickly became one of the league's most dominant guards but also went viral time and time again but throwing up his trademark celebration but as famous as wall's celebration was it actually ruined his career in 2020 wall hadn't played for two years due to an injury so the wizards expected their 170 million dollar investment to focus on recovering but during that time wall traveled to new york city to celebrate his birthday where all of a sudden he got exposed with cameras flashing and diamonds dancing wall was recorded hanging with known members of the blood gang in the viral cliff wall was seen throwing up his infamous celebration and now the world found out his signs weren't just celebrating three-pointers he was gang-affiliated so the wizards were forced to take action immediately after the clip spread all over the internet not only did they force wall to apologize on twitter the team still had a bad taste in their mouth for affiliating with a gang member so ownership instantly put wall on the trade block and dealt him to the rockets for russell westbrook dan who would have thought just throwing up a celebration would ruin a career well even getting traded doesn't compare to the celebration that cost the mavericks a chance at a championship throughout the 2022 playoffs it basically became the maverick special to get fined every night but what's crazy is it wasn't even the players on the court's fault throughout their playoff series the mavericks bench was quote unquote out of control jumping around taunting and stepping over the lines now the mavericks bench celebrations were one thing but one of the biggest controversies came cause of a player's shirt yeah during game two of the warriors maverick series tail pinson caused chaos see the warriors were wearing white jerseys and during a fast-paced play teo was standing up looking like a warriors player so steph passed the ball right out of bounds and once teo saw that he knew his fit could give the mavs a chance of winning the series so the very next game taiyo came in dressed the exact same way but right before a tip-off a ref caught on and told him to change and well dude didn't listen instead he hopped on twitter to troll the wrath and even got fans to join in so all cause of him and the bench going crazy the mavs racked up fines for over a hundred seventy-five thousand dollars batoning a team i mean that ain't as bad as the time lebron harden and mello's celebrations nearly caused world war three coming into the nba global games the cavs and heat planned on traveling to rio for a pre-season clash when out of nowhere the nba was issued a warning because of a celebration made popular by lebron harden and mello the entire country of brazil was pissed see nba players are known to throw up a hand sign after hitting a three-pointer lebron's three goggles mellows three to the dome hardens whatever the hell this is and what seemed like a harmless way of representing a cash 3 throughout the rest of the world it had a completely different meaning in brazil throwing up three fingers is commonly known as [ __ ] you or [ __ ] off and i mean that ain't worse than what i used to hear in mw2 lobbies all right i'm a person but the nba wasn't trying to let a stupid taunt cause world war iii so the celebration was banned but you want to know what else should be banned lebron james cause he set such an embarrassing record it should be illegal don't even get me started on james harden just click
