The Grizzlies’ ‘Dab Cam’ served to identify the non-dabbers of Memphis

Cam Newton’s influence has taken over Memphis Grizzlies nation. On Thursday, the Grizzlies stadium crew sought out every single person in the crowd who was willing to dab on camera. There were plenty who did ... and plenty who didn’t. May God bless the ones who didn’t:

I would like to speak directly to the people who didn’t dab, who are annotated by their assigned numbers.

1. You’re young, and you probably don’t know how to dab. And if you do know how to dab, you were probably caught off-guard by the Jumbotron. I will give you a pass.

2. That is not a dab. You’re just stabbing the air with your arms. Come on now.

3. Also not a dab, although I do respect the arm movement. That’s dab-esque.

4. You, sir, are just happy to be on camera, aren’t you?

5. No dabbing. Just stoicism. You want to be left alone, and it’s alright to be camera shy. You also don’t know and don’t care for the Dab, and that is also okay. But now that you’re on camera, is there anything to want to say to the crowd?

Hello, sir!

Finally, here’s Tony Allen. Don’t lie, Tony: you know you wanted to dab here. But something held you back. Maybe you wanted to focus on the game and not dance on camera. Maybe you were shy in this moment, and shyness can’t be the reason, because you kept shouting “First team, all-defense” last season.

Whatever it was that held you back, I think you owe Grizzlies fans one dab on-camera. Just one. Give the people what they want, Tony.
