As one user summed it up, in his first year Ime has outperformed and exceeded expectations. On top of that, he gets to go home to Nia Long. Winning.

Another user was quick to point out why a certain demographic of Twitter is unable to understand what is happening when Nia Long trends every time the Celtics win. Well, now they know.

The fact that 3/4ths of the Celtics fan in here dont get why Nia Long trends after they win is probably the most “Two Americas” moment of recent memory.

While Ime wins, the rest of the world stays losing. This reminds us of a certain J Cole lyric.
