According to People, a young Toronto Raptors fan went viral after an energetic jumbotron dance during a timeout in the Raptors–Knicks NBA Cup quarterfinal on December 9.
The clip, shared across NBA social platforms, sparked a wave of wholesome reactions—proof that sometimes the best highlights come from the stands.
Even with the Raptors taking a loss, the kid’s joy became the story fans carried out of the night.
- NBA (Instagram): “This adorable @raptors fan steals the show with his dance moves on the big screen!”
- Yahoo Sports (Canada): “A tiny Toronto Raptors fan has gone viral for busting some Jumbotron dance moves…”
Analysis/Echotitbits take: This is ‘feel-good virality’ at its best—and leagues love it because it boosts community, ticket appeal, and family-friendly branding. Watch for the Raptors/NBA to bring the kid back for an in-arena cameo, merch moment, or social-media feature that extends the buzz.
