Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry has made the “night, night” celebration incredibly popular in recent years. Perhaps no image of him doing it is more iconic than when he did the celebration this past summer in the gold medal game of the Olympics after connecting on a flurry of late 3-pointers to defeat France.
Curry’s celebration has inspired imitators, with Sabrina Ionescu among them.
Another admirer of the celebration is, apparently, Clemson wide receiver Antonio Williams, who did the celebration after scoring the opening touchdown of the Tigers’ College Football Playoff matchup with Texas. The touchdown put the Tigers up 7-0 in the first quarter.

But it seems like Clemson and Williams misunderstand the celebration. The “night, night” is a closer, a clincher, a sealer. It’s meant to be done after daggers – not the first score of the game.
Fans agreed. It was too early for Williams to do this sort of celebration.
And by midway through the second quarter, the Tigers trailed 21-7.
A little early to night night the crowd, Clemson
