Kobe Bryant is one of the most competitive players in the history of sports. He is disciplined and often does anything and everything to get a competitive edge over his opponents. When it was time for him to face Tony Parker, the Laker legend wanted something to get under Parker’s skin, and he chose Parker’s own language as the right path for doing so.

The 5x champion learned French just so he could talk trash to Parker on the basketball court in his own language and throw him off his game. To this day, it still remains one of the most creative acts done during a sporting event, until recently, when Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf took it one step further.

Innovative celebration by DK Metcalf

DK Metcalf, recently made fans appreciate him after his innovative celebration on the football field. Metcalf, after scoring for his team, started speaking in sign language to the fans.

After having paid over $65,000 this season in fines, Metcalf’s new initiative might be in hopes of keeping him away from more troubles from the NFL.

According to the commentator, Metcalf said, “Standing on business”, as in taking care of things that he is supposed to.

Although Metcalf had three touchdowns and six receives, the Seahawks fell short to the Dallas Cowboys, who won by a score of 41-35, bringing the Seahawks to a 6-6 record.

But fans still cannot have enough of this celebration. Many people pointed out that it is innovative, yet it also brings awareness to sign language, which should also motivate other people to learn sign language.

Is Metcalf’s celebration similar to the Kobe Bryant act?

Although the level of dedication required to prove a point is unmatched by both players, their acts are extremely different. When Kobe Bryant learned French, he did it just so he could annoy Tony Parker, as he was able to understand what Kobe was saying.

In Metcalf’s case, it is more on the fun side, as most people in the crowd will have no idea what he said. But when they finally realize what he was showing, it just means that he is doing what he had to do. So although both are extremely innovative, they are not the same in regard to what they wanted to achieve.
