During the player introductions before Washington's home opener last night, Wizards rookie John Wall announced himself to D.C. fans by doing one of the meanest Dougies ever recorded. A little childish, sure, but just a sign of the times: The new generation of athletes is not shy about performing the dance move (re-)popularized by the Cali Swag District. We've seen jocks doing the Dougie in everything from TD celebrations to photo shoots to solo webcam videos—some better than others, but all pretty hilarious. To chronicle this new trend, we've compiled The 10 Best Videos of Athletes Doing the Dougie...and we're quite sure there's more to come.
