Lorne Chan: The Big Dance

While Cleveland fans most likely haven't had enough success to make postgame victory dances a tradition, local resident Dave Bell and his family have made a Spurs dance of their own.
The Bell family does a victory dance after every series victory, where his five sons and other game-watchers hop around and dance frantically to the "Go Spurs Go!" song.
Bell put video of the dance on YouTube after the Spurs-Suns series, and it received more than 10,000 views after the video was posted on Spurs blog Poundingtherock.com.
The clip can be seen at www.youtube.com/watch?v=15S1B7ZPpsk
How did this dance tradition start?
Our whole household is just nuts about the Spurs. We never miss a game, and we've watched the Spurs since they were the Chaparrals. More and more traditions get started when they keep winning.
We're a real celebrant family overall, and it's a spontaneous celebration. Once we did it a couple times, it became a tradition.
What are some other traditions?
There are tons. Everybody has to wear the same clothes for every game, even the same underwear. My wife is constantly washing clothes.
Some of the kids take pre-game showers, and we drink an orange drink heavily laced with caffeine during games. If the Spurs are doing poorly, everybody reloads on this drink.
It's really bizarre how much we do to support the Spurs even though they have no idea we're doing this.
How crazy does it get during games?
They were 26 people for one of the games, so the next day I went and got another cable box so I could watch in my bedroom.
There's so much noise that I really have to worry about the neighbors. Whenever Robert Horry makes a 3 or something, it's deafening.
Were you shocked that so many people watched the YouTube video?
I was really amazed and surprised. I get a lot of angry responses from people who love to hate the Spurs. Some of the people who post the hate mail don't have too much of a vocabulary either.
Well, you're doing something right. Keep up the good work.
Were you the bum they talked to on page 3?
That took . . . courage.
Ha ha. No. It was pretty crazy actually, yesterday a guy from the paper called my dad and interviewed him, and then called me. It is pretty insane all the things I do to prepare myself for a game. I'm sure all of us have our stories.
Just a quick question: Ain't you afraid somebody is gonna launch into that zillion dollar HDTV during the dance?
That video is awesome man!!! I want to dance too!!!
Dude, hit up Sam's Club. We got that T.V. for 2,100. That comes with a full 1 Year no questions asked warranty. This is actually our 3rd T.V. from Sam's. We keep upgrading to a better tv for the same price or cheaper. The dance is a little risky..But It's hard to hold back after a good win.
eat .
hopefully you will be doing that dance this Thursday
I have a feeling we'll take it to the next level if we close out with a sweep!
Here's a pic of the dance Mav Fans do at the end of a playoff series.
I do the same dance. I'll film it too after we get 4 :]
That's pretty awesome. Nice TV btw.
Good thing you didn't write it yourself.Me and my family are in today's Paper
