Basketball players started a new dance craze featuring a song from 20 years ago

Division I basketball players have a new dance, and now everyone is joining in on the fun.

Next up: Papi!

It has now spread to college football where the entire Rutgers team go in on the act, while Michigan also had some fun.

And onto the NFL! Here go the Jaguars:

The Orlando Magic got Stuff the Magic Dragon -- AND AN INFLATABLE T-REX -- to join in:

Eventually, the Running Man Challenge reached the Gronkowski family, and, well, this happened:
