There are a lot of noteworthy things in the Dallas Mavericks' epic OT win against the New York Knicks. There's Luka Doncic's insane one-of-a-kind triple-double, and there's also that game-tying shot in the fourth quarter. However, Doncic's celebration after forcing OT might just be the best.
After Doncic drained the jumper that tied the game at 115-115 with just one second left, he himself couldn't hold back his joy, dancing and wiggling his hands due to his delight. His face also makes it even better, with his jaw dropping unable to contain his happiness.
Even Mavs owner Mark Cuban loved it, immediately asking the Dallas faithful to come up with a name for the viral adorable dance.
