The Golden State Warriors have the best record in the NBA, one of the best offenses in the history of the league, and are, generally, light years ahead of every other team in terms of organizational function. With such an exquisite eye for talent and the chutzpah to put that talent in a position to succeed, it’s no surprise that the Warriors took the viral celebrity dancing in their stands and brought her down to center court.

For the last season and a half, Robin Schreiber had become a fixture on the dance cam during Warriors’ games. In November, one particular video of her caught the imagination of a grateful nation, inspiring everyone with her graceful artistry and rhythmic explosions.
Celebrating the talent in their midst, the Warriors invited Schreiber down to center court for a mid-game break to show their official dance team how to make the magic happen. Schreiber’s dance game is clearly in mid-season form and the white mock-turtleneck is a nice accent piece for the blue and gold pop of her sweater. Costuming, blocking, execution — this was clearly a hall-of-fame performance.
