If you’re in the hip hop world then you’re already well familiar with the cooking dance. It was reportedly started by Lil B but now almost everyone is doing it. While it may have different meanings (which I won’t get into), in basketball we know somebody that’s “cooking” is doing work, performing well on the court. James Harden started doing the cooking dance on the court after hitting a shot and now the basketball world has named it his official celebration. On Sunday the Houston Rockets beat the Washington Wizards 99-91 and ESPN color commentator Jeff Van Gundy was on hand to provide us with sideline entertainment.
After Harden hit the cooking dance, Jeff Van Gundy commented on it, saying that he liked it while doing it himself. If only they knew what it meant to some people… LOL
