The first rule of sports celebrations is to make sure you have something to celebrate.

As Leon Lett, DeSean Jackson and now Nick Young can attest, there is no other rule.

The swaggy Los Angeles Lakers guard thought he hit a 24-foot buzzer beater in Tuesday night’s game against the New York Knicks. Though he seemed to notice that the ball was rattling around the rim instead of calmly swishing through the net, Young turned around and raised his arms in preening triumph anyway, a clear imitation of a move popularized by his former teammate, Gilbert Arenas.

There was the small difference of Arenas making his shot, of course. Oh, and the other one that Arenas’s was a buzzer beater to win a game, while Young’s was a buzzer beater at the end of the third quarter that would have put the Lakers up by 31 points instead of 28.

You know, tomato, to-mah-to.
