Joe Harris’ move is about as simple as it gets.
It’s a fist pump. That’s it.
But for a guy who’s down to business when he takes the floor, it’s close to the maximum amount of emotion you’ll see from him in a game.
“Yeah, it’s sort of the inside joke with everybody on the team,” Harris said when he first unleashed the first pump. “But, I mean, sort of a long story short, a lot of the guys on the team joke with me that’s the whitest thing that I do or have done. The little fist pump. So it’s sort of a running joke now.”
And the joke is still running
When DeAndre Jordan gave Harris a shoutout on Twitter after Saturday’s win, the Brooklyn Nets big man made sure to pay respect to the sharpshooter’s signature move.

But the jokes aren’t solely being made by Nets players anymore.
YES Network did a comparison mid-game, putting Harris’ fist pump side-by-side with Judd Nelson’s famous final moment as John Bender at the end of Breakfast Club — going along with another joke regarding the discovery made mid-broadcast: YES Network analyst Sarah Kustok hasn’t seen the classic 80’s movie.

The resemblance is uncanny.
Who knows where the phenomenon will go from here?
