Every moment that Jayson Tatum has supposedly copied

Jayson Tatum might be enjoying his first-ever NBA title, but fans won't let him do it peacefully. They've continuously trolled him for supposedly copying iconic moments from others.

One of the first moments that fans have pointed to was the during his postgame interview immediately after winning the title. Tatum was quoted saying "we did it," initially in a softer voice before proceeding to shout the same three words at the top of his lungs.

That is something that Kevin Garnett did in 2008 when the Celtics won a title and he dropped his famous "anything's possible" line.

Afterward, Tatum was quoted asking, "what are they gonna say now?" It is a line that Steph Curry famously dropped after the Golden State Warriors beat the Celtics in the 2022 NBA Final.

Then, Tatum said that people were wondering what they would do if his team did not win the championship, before following it up with "I guess we'll never know." He copied that line from Kanye West, who said that after he won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album in 2005.

In fact, someone made a compilation of these moments from Tatum and posted it on social media. It even went viral and was referred to as the "plagiarism world tour."

However, Kevin Garnett has said that everything Tatum has said is simply an effect of the emotions after winning an NBA title.
