As NC State’s men’s basketball team prepares for its first Final Four in over four decades, DJ Burns has quickly morphed into a national sensation. He’s having classy moments with security guards. He’s garnering talk of potentially playing in the NFL. He even has the attention of Nikola Jokic, the NBA’s best player.
But beyond the unique skill for a big man, what everyone seems to love most about Burns is how much fun he seems to have on the court — especially when he gets the opportunity to troll Duke.
In a video from the end of NC State’s dominant 76-64 win over Duke on Sunday, Burns is recorded delightfully trolling angsty Duke fans who were frustrated over their team’s performance. You could just tell Burns was over the moon at the chance to rub the loss in:
Hey, if you can’t troll the opposing fans after a resounding performance and win, what’s the point of winning in the first place? Shoutout to Burns, who is clearly made for this limelight.
