NEW YORK—Jahlil Okafor earned all-tournament team honors as Duke coasted to victory at the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic, but his uncle may have won the internet Saturday night.
During an extended timeout in the second half, the dance cam captured Okafor's uncle breaking it down just like his nephew attacks the rim—with no regard for human life.
If you don't believe me, check the clip, shot by Matt Norlander of CBS Sports.
The more Okafor's uncle danced, the more the camera kept panning back to him. At one point, the videoboard operator attempted to incite a dance-off between him and a Stanford fan to no avail—there wasn't a soul in the arena who could match these dance moves.
As the teams took the floor to resume play, the Barclays Center erupted into what was probably the loudest single ovation of the night. If this guy makes it to a home game at Cameron Indoor Stadium, the legendary Dancing Jerry better watch out.
Okafor reacted to his uncle's moves Sunday night on Twitter and several of his teammates also seemed to find the entertainment assuming, retweeting the vine several times.
