Houston Rockets’ James Harden has a new celebration and it is the latest new dance craze from Chedda Da Connect’s new song “Flicka Da Wrist.”


Houston Rockets guard James Harden has a new celebration, that looks like he is stirring a pot.

Or as seen with a bit more context below:

His roommate, a high school teammate, tried to explain it to Sports Illustrated‘s Lee Jenkins. He said it was literally a stirring of the pot, as it looked like to all of us.

"When Harden is rolling, he twirls his left index finger, like an egg beater on the fastest setting. “That means something’s cooking,” says his housemate and former high school teammate Greg Howell."

But it looks like there could be more to this than simply just stirring the pot, which is something he definitely did against the Cleveland Cavaliers recently when he got into it with LeBron James and kicked him in the groin. That earned Harden a suspension fit for a trouble maker or someone who stirs the pot, a one game ban.

It appears that this is really a new dance move called “Flicka Da Wrist,” sharing the same name of the new song from Chedda Da Connect. You can see the video for the track below, which features explicit lyrics.

This certainly wouldn’t be the first time we see a professional athlete take cues from hip hop and popular dances to celebrate. The Terio dance and the Bobby Shmurda dance were hot celebrations for NFL players lately.

It looks like this “Flicka Da Wrist” is about to explode and be the next dance craze, Harden is just really far ahead of the curve.
