Jameer Nelson does ‘Big Ball Dance’ after hitting game-tying shot

The Orlando Magic lost to the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night, but they were able to push the game to three overtimes thanks in part to Jameer Nelson. The veteran point guard hit a clutch jumper with 11.2 seconds left in regulation to tie the game at 101-101. What he did next is what we really care about.

After tying the game, Nelson busted out the “Big Ball Dance.” For those of you who are somehow unaware of the origin of the dance, we cleared that up for you a few years back. Here’s a video that helps explain why we love it so much.

The Magic may have lost, but Nelson won the night. It was well worth the $15,000 fine — for us at least.
