The Houston Texans are playing in their first playoff game in franchise history Saturday, and Arian Foster may celebrate accordingly if he scores a touchdown.
The Texans running back was joking with his mostly Houston-based Twitter followers Tuesday about the Rockets-Lakers basketball game.
Foster, who is a Lakers fan, accepted a fan’s challenge that he’d do a Rockets-themed touchdown celebration if Houston beat LA. That led to the following tweet:
“The masses seem to be going with Hakeem’s #dreamshake. If I get the honor of gracing the endzone, I will pay homage to the Houston legend,” Foster said.
Only one problem: the Rockets had to beat the Lakers, and they lost 108-99.
Given how enthusiastic Foster was about doing the Dream Shake, I wouldn’t be surprised if he broke it out at some point Saturday, or in the future. After all, Foster’s celebration is a bow to the crowd to show respect for the game. Why wouldn’t he want to show respect to Hakeem Olajuwon?
