Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum made a statement before Game 3 of the NBA playoffs against the New York Knicks with his fit, and fans were roasting him with the team down 0-2 heading into Saturday’s clash at Madison Square Garden.

The defending champion Celtics are on the ropes after blowing two 20-point leads at home to start the second-round series vs. New York. Tatum has been quite awful in the series and especially in crunch time in the fourth quarter.

In pretty much a do-or-die Game 3 as no NBA team has ever come back from an 0-3 deficit, Tatum arrived in overalls and Timberlands on his feet like a New York construction worker ready to get after it. He also had a NAS shirt on, who is the rapper from NY.

With an iconic New York fit like that, he better back it up. Fans certainly let him have it, calling him out.

Boston fans of course were loving it.

It could go down as one of the better pregame playoff troll fits, or a complete dud for Tatum. It’s on him now to back up his pregame moment on the court.
