Stephen Curry made an appearance on the popular YouTube channel Dude Perfect’s latest video. Curry has always been a jovial personality on and off the court. However, he had his round of fun after mocking Jayson Tatum’s NBA finals celebration in the video with Dude Perfect.
The video saw Stephen Curry hilariously mimicking Jayson Tatum’s heavily trolled ‘We Did It” championship celebration. Tatum broke out the celebration in a postgame interview after securing a win in the 2023-24 NBA Finals.
In the video with Dude Perfect, the Warriors star made a mocking callback to Tatum’s celebration while cracking up with laughter. Tatum’s ‘We did it’ celebration was in itself a callback to former Celtics star Kevin Garnett’s iconic celebration after winning the 2008 NBA Finals.
It seems like Curry was out for some ‘get-back’ after many had accused Tatum of also ‘borrowing’ from Curry’s own NBA Finals celebration. After winning the 2022 NBA finals against the Tatum-led Boston Celtics, Curry coined the iconic ‘What they gonna say now” celebration.

Tatum picked up the line and used it to question any remaining doubters and detractors after winning the championship last season. However, the jab by Curry was definitely meant to be just a joke, as he played a key role in Tatum’s development with some key advice during the summer.
Jayson Tatum climbs MVP Ladder after ‘game-winning’ outing against Raptors
Jayson Tatum has often been the butt of jokes this summer. He lost out on the Finals MVP to teammate Jaylen Brown and got benched in the Paris Olympics, leading many to troll him. However, he has come back this season with a fire lit under him to prove himself once again.
On Saturday night, Jayson Tatum added to his MVP candidacy for this season after dropping 24 points, 11 rebounds, and 9 assists in a win over the Toronto Raptors. The highlight of the game came right at the end when Tatum drilled a step-back three-pointer at the buzzer to seal the 126-123 victory over the Raptors.
This season, Tatum has averaged 29.7 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 5.9 assists in 14 games. His numbers and the team’s success have led near the top of the NBA MVP standings. Tatum only trails reigning MVP Nikola Jokic in his pursuit to win his first MVP this season.
