Every now and then, you’ll see a sports team wear throwback jerseys to commemorate their history. The Raptors have done it, the Packers have done it, the White Sox have done it (to the dismay of Chris Sale), and you get the picture. Australia’s National Basketball League has taken throwback jerseys to heart with this weekend’s “Heritage Round,” the league’s 15th round, wherein every team will play a game wearing a old uniform.
Australian basketball league celebrates throwback weekend with awkward dance video
To celebrate that, the NBL’s Twitter account shared an old-school video of players singing and dancing to Christopher Otcasek’s cover of “Real Wild Child.” It’s a sight to behold.
I know nothing about the NBL or these players, but what I do know is that ...
1. They’re dancing like they’re playing Dance Dance Revolution for the first time.
2. One of the players looks like he almost tripped himself.
3. THIS MAN’S MUSTACHE IS MAGNIFICENT.
4. This is my favorite blooper: Guy on the far right was blocked by the player in front of him, so an assistant stepped in to get him back into position.
5. Of all the dancing in the video, this guy kills it.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that the NBL’s Perth Wildcats once filmed a rap music video in 1989, and I hope the 2016-17 Perth Wildcats are using this as a theme for their starting lineup.
