Celtics star Jaylen Brown had a fantastic game against the Pacers and after the victory, he was met with a surprise in the Boston locker room.
Brown, who scored 40 points while adding five rebounds, helped his team secure a 2-0 series lead over Indiana in the Eastern Conference Finals. It seemed like he was about to receive well-earned congratulations from Deuce Tatum, the son of fellow Boston star Jayson Tatum.
Just when it appeared like Brown was about to get a high five from the 6-year-old Deuce, however, he was met with a fake out. Instead, Deuce hit him with the classic “down low, too slow” gag.

That has to be a tough feeling if you’re Brown, but at least it’s nothing personal. After all, this is not the first time we have seen Deuce troll someone who wanted a high five.
He also left Donovan Mitchell hanging during a hilarious interaction last season.
If the Celtics keep winning and make the NBA Finals, expect to see more amazing moments featuring Deuce this postseason.
