Celebration Ideas

I usually don't post extra columns, but Grant Wahl, of SI.com, posted some great celebration ideas. They are supposed to be for college basketball, but they could certainly work for other sports. I may do one of these celebrations if I join the famed "Clean Plate Club" at Thanksgiving.

1) The Urkel. Can't you just see Dee Brown scoring a big basket, then pulling his waistband up to his chest and prancing around? What, you can't?

2) The Shoe Pump. Why not do a retro celebration like the old Dee Brown of Celtics and dunk contest fame? (Reebok could use the pub.)

3) The Delivery. Borrowing from a recent goal celebration by soccer's Francesco Totti (a new father), college players who've just become dads could score a big basket, insert the ball under their jersey, lay down and spread their legs as a teammate pulls the ball out and shows it triumphantly to the crowd. (Caveat: requires a stoppage of play and a ref who has enough patience not to T you up.)
