Olympic Breakdancer Raygun Responds To Minnesota Vikings Player’s Viral Copycat Celebration
Minnesota Vikings defensive player Cam Bynum had a viral moment in Sunday's game against the Jaguars, even making a splash as far away as Australia.
Bynum is not only a fun personality on the team in Minnesota, but he's been developing into a pretty good defensive player who caught his third interception of the season in yesterday's game.
His interception was definitely one worth celebrating, too! The interception not only helped Minnesota win their 7th game of the season, but it was also just an impressive catch!
Bynum has been playfully vocal about the creativity that goes into his and the team's celebrations (or "cellys"), commenting on that in a press conference back in October.
His most recent celebration, if you haven't seen it yet, was an ode to the Australian Olympic breakdancer Raygun, borrowing some of her iconic moves that went viral during the 2024 Olympic Games.
Bynum shared a quick video that showed off his version of the moves Raygun introduced to the world during the Olympic Games this summer. The caption, cleverly, was "GOLD MEDAL GAME WINNER".
Bynum had been teasing he had a big celebration he was cooking up, commenting last week that he was hoping for the chance to unveil it in Sunday's game.
Randy Moss was one of many people who saw (and loved) the celebration, commenting "I NEEDED THIS!!" in response to the celly.
Bynum reminded everyone of his "fire celly" he was hoping to unleash after the game, posing the question "Did I lie???" Not only did he deliver on coming up with an interception, but the celebration was absolutely fire!
It turns out Ragun actually saw Bynum's version of her moves and commented on it on social media!
In her Instagram story, Raygun shared a reaction to ESPN's Instagram post about the dance, saying "This is WILD" and "Love it @cambeezy_24".
During his weekly appearance on Minnesota sports talk station KFAN, Bynum explained that she gave him a shoutout on social media after the celebration and he later joked they might have to collaborate after the season is over.
Bynum also explained he had been working on the celebration for a while, basically since seeing Raygun in the Olympics this summer. Cam said he liked her performance, calling it "really good and different".
He said while he doesn't consider himself a good breakdancer, he loves the sport and he was excited to bring some of Raygun's flair to one of his "cellies".
