Don’t expect anyone connected with the Miami Heat to show up on Dancing With the Stars anytime soon. If LeBron James and Pat Riley are any indication, it seems that the dancing in American Airlines Arena should best be left to the official Heat dancers. James’s moves maybe aren’t the worst, but Riley’s are exactly what you’d expect from a 66-year-old white guy.
Here’s video of Riley doing his shuffle at the Miami Heat Family Festival this past weekend. He starts busting moves toward the side of the stage at the 1:38 mark, but he really begins breaking it down around 2:10.
Oh, that’s rough, but honestly they’re not the worst for a man who is dressed in head-to-toe beige.
James’s moves are slightly better, but he can’t even keep in step with a bunch of ladies (one of whom seems to be dressed as Sarah Palin). For some reason, The Ellen Show decided to film James taking a dance fitness class at Equinox gym. To be fair, he did show better dance abilities during his SNL gig.
