The #Mannequin Challenge has everybody freezing up. The premise is simple, get a bunch of people to stop right in the moment, while someone films it with one sweeping shot. Music is also key- “Black Beatles” by Rae . We’ve seen some really great ones from the sports world, and we’ve seen a few that clearly need to work on hitting the pause button. Check out some of the best and worst versions of the challenge across the sports world’s universe.
The Cleveland Cavaliers did it at the White House on Wednesday and even got the First Lady in on the fun.

Allen Iverson was in Philly when the Sixers did their version… maybe he didn’t understand the concept fully.
