THE VERY FIRST TIME, actually on record was in the Russian summit series, Hockey.

It’s called silencing the critics and or crowd. In actual team sports you won’t see a player do it on his home field.

It has been done, when a player has been heavily criticized/booed for being in a slump.

You don't think soccer players did it before MJ?

I got news for you bud...

Let’s do a deep dive and find out then. I’m not saying MJ was first. Show me an older example and I’ll look for an even older one.

Corey Anderson did it last night. It was very cringe. But not as cringe as Nunes.

An iconic one is Usain Bolt.
