Driven by his desire to be recognized as a good teammate, Luke Kornet launched a hilarious attack ad in hopes of beating Derrick White out for the 2025 season-long Tommy Award.
The Tommy Award, named after former Celtics player, coach, and broadcaster Tommy Heinsohn, spotlights players who go above and beyond with their hustle on the court.
White was ahead of Kornet in the award standings heading into Friday’s two-game mini-series against Charlotte, so Kornet made a commercial and declared himself “The People’s Tommy Award Winner” in it.
From questioning whether White actually chipped his tooth in last year’s NBA Finals to bleeping out a random clip of Brad Stevens talking about White, Kornet seemed determined to deliver laughs as he playfully attacked his teammate in the commercial.
