In an appearance on JJ Redick’s The Old Man and the Three podcast, Heat wing Duncan Robinson explained the Hulk Hogan-style celebration he pulled out during the fourth quarter of Game 7 against the Celtics.
Robinson, a New England native who went to high school in Massachusetts, ruffled some feathers after using Hogan’s signature celebration, holding up a hand to his ear and gesturing to Boston faithful. Turns out, his motivation to troll Celtics fans came from an unlikely source: a group chat Robinson’s number was added to by Boston fans after Game 6.
“My number got put in a group chat, and it was a massive group chat. After we lose Game 6, my phone is blowing up from all these New England numbers,” Robinson said. “They’re sending me memes of the Curt Schilling bloody sock. It’s just all these random numbers, like 70 texts.”
