The Celtics won the internet with a solar eclipse message featuring Luke Kornet

Forgot to pick up a box of fancy eclipse sunglasses ahead of the solar event Monday afternoon? Fear not, New Englanders, Luke Kornet to the rescue.

The Celtics posted a photo to their Instagram account Monday morning featuring Kornet blocking the sun and moon with his hands – a reference to the center’s signature move (other than the dab).

The defensive technique – sometimes called the “Kornet Contest,” or more appropriately “The Eclipse” – is used to block the view of the basket from the shooter on three-point attempts.
