Will Smith gives the world a ‘Men in Black’ Wipe it Down Challenge

Good one, Agent J.

Actor and rapper Will Smith is really good at social media — remember when the Philadelphia native chronicled his reactions to the Eagles’ run to a Super Bowl?

So of course he’s submitted a solid TikTok, following so many others who are posting Wipe It Down challenge entries.

As a reminder: the challenge consists of filming yourself wiping down a mirror, and on certain swipes, you reveal a different image. Smith’s alternate was himself in Men in Black, with a punchline that showed his Agent J using that flashing light thing at the end of the video.

Good work right here.

Enes Kanter roasts the way James Harden scores on TikTok

Next time Kanter has to guard Harden? Watch out.

James Harden is the NBA’s best scorer. You can’t refute it. He’s been the league’s scoring champion for three years in a row now if you include this season.

But watching him do all that scoring is a chore.

A hefty portion of Harden’s game is dribbling the shot clock down to six seconds and either taking a step-back 3 or flopping his way to the rim.

That’s productive! He’s also very good at it, to his credit. But people absolutely HATE watching it. And Enes Kanter is one of those people. He roasted Harden’s playing style in a TikTok video on a whiteboard.

First, he showed us how Giannis Antetokounmpo scores by drawing a straight line to the rim. (By the way, if you want to get Harden riled up bringing up Giannis is definitely the way to do it.)

Then, he showed us how Harden scores…by scribbling a bunch of lines all over the board.

Ouch. Kanter better hope he doesn’t have to defend Harden anytime soon. He’s going in the blender.

Everything you need to know about the TikTok Wipe it Down challenge

Wipe, wipe, wipe it down, wipe.

With so many people stuck at home as quarantining and social distancing continues into May, TikTok has continued to be a place where folks can flex some serious creativity and take on some challenges — remember “Flip the Switch” that Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez pulled off?

The latest trend that’s burning up the digital airwaves? It’s the “Wipe it Down” Challenge, and like the “Flip the Switch,” it involves setting up your phone to face a mirror.

It starts with someone wiping down the mirror with glass cleaner, and when you swipe, the image in the mirror switches back and forth with every wipe. It’s the perfect thing for these crazy times when we’re washing and wiping everything in sight.

Influencer JoJo Siwa was trending Tuesday morning with her entry:

Here are some other good ones:

Megan Thee Stallion and Beyonce broke the internet with the Savage remix

Beyonce and Megan Thee Stallion break the internet.

Beyonce could literally take a video of her breathing and the internet would go crazy. She’s just…Beyonce. That’s how this thing works.

But when you add Megan Thee Stallion to the equation and put the two on a song together? Nah, the internet is done for. It’s cooked.

That’s what happened yesterday. We were just minding our business when, all of a sudden, Beyonce and Meg decided to break Twitter by dropping a “Savage” remix.

The song was already a viral sensation because of the TikTok dance that it came with. But once Beyonce hopped on the track? It took things to another level.

Their song took over the internet yesterday and hasn’t stopped since. People are still going crazy over it.

Fam, there’s already a TikTok dance for this thing. It ain’t even been 24 hours. The girl who made the original Savage dance did her thing for the remix.

Unbelievable. All everyone wants to know is when we’ll all finally be able to turn up at the first function to this song. Fall 2021, I guess? Get them knees ready.

The best part? Proceeds from the track’s streams reportedly are going to charity. In an Instagram post, Meg said all proceeds go to Bread of Life Houston where families are being provided meals during the pandemic.

Shoutout to Beyonce and Meg for putting their collective foot on our necks and on coronavirus at the same time. We stan our pandemic fighting queens. In all seriousness, salute to them for making the internet a brighter place for a while in the middle of all this madness. We really needed this moment.

New Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy created a Tik Tok dance with Roger Goodell

New Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy got Roger Goodell to create a Tik Tok dance with him.

New Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy made a Tik Tok dance with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Yes, you read that right.

Here’s the dance, courtesy of Dov Kleiman on Twitter:

Broncos fans would probably love to see Jeudy use that dance frequently in the end zone as a touchdown celebration for many years to come.

This good dog could be a first round pick in the NFL draft

This dog is actually a shutdown corner.

If there were ever some sort of Olympic games that had animals competing against people, the people would get absolutely destroyed.

Case in point: This good dog that absolutely locks down his human on TikTok for the whole world to see. It looks like it should be a first round pick in this month’s NFL draft.

I mean, this dog easily looks like he would’ve been one of the best cornerbacks in college football last season. This is absolutely shut down stuff.

Deion Sanders would be so proud of this good boy. He deserves a treat and a belly rub.

The dog is not even trying. He gets beat off of the line of scrimmage but that’s ok. He stays solid, flips his doggy hips and recovers on his way up the field.

His human is running full speed up the field and but our good boy is barely even breaking out a trot. He catches up and knocks the ball loose as soon as it hits his human’s hands. ELITE.

It’s not illegal to sign a dog, right? Right. As one of the two resident Eagles fans on the For The Win staff, my team could definitely use him.

Zhuri again steals the show in LeBron James Family TikTok dance

LeBron James and his family have been busy on TikTok during the quarantine, dropping another last night with daughter Zhuri leading the way.

During the current NBA hiatus, NBA players have gravitated to several different activities to spend their now seemingly endless time at home. A lot have taken to playing more video games, streaming and playing with other players, going on Instagram Live more often, or joining TikTok. In the case of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, TikTok is something he’s been involved in for a while now thanks to his kids. Even though James himself says that his kids have him looking like a ‘damn fool’ in the videos, he’s ever the good sport when they recruit him to be in an all-family video.

James and his long beard joined with the family last night, where his daughter Zhuri stole the show on his son Bryce’s TikTok page as they did a dance to Drake’s new TikTok-centric song “Tootsie Slide.”

LeBron’s own statements about the TikTok’s have also been fodder for some good jokes.

 

Matisse Thybulle admitted one TikTok video took ‘hours’ to complete

The TikTok star gave a behind-the-scenes look into how long some of his videos take to create in a recent interview.

Philadelphia 76ers rookie Matisse Thybulle has stayed productive during the coronavirus outbreak. That is, of course, if you count the work he has put in on TikTok.

Thybulle has become a bit of a TikTok sensation since the NBA shut down the regular season because of the coronavirus pandemic. Some of his videos have amassed over 250,000 views on the social media outlet as he attempts to stay busy around the house.

The guard recently discussed his newfound fame on TikTok with Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia and gave a behind-the-scenes look into how long it takes to create some of his videos.

“The one where I was dribbling around in my jersey, that one took me all day — like, hours,” Thybulle said. “I hate being in front of the camera. Even by myself with my camera propped up on a book, I still sucked so it took me like a million takes to do anything.”

Thybulle went onto say that he is trying to stay as active as possible but admitted it has been difficult to do in self-isolation without access to a gym or workout equipment. Players are having to resort to finding creative exercises to do around the house and some are even relying on ideas from their trainers or teams.

In any case, fans should expect to continue to see more TikTok content from Thybulle in the future.

Celtics’ Enes Kanter hilariously impersonated Tacko Fall on TikTok

The Celtics veteran created a TikTok video impersonating the 7-foot-5 Fall dunking on a rim.

Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter spent part of his Saturday impersonating a teammate after he posted a video on TikTok of his rendition of Tacko Fall on the court.

With the NBA regular season on hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, Kanter, like everyone around the world, has been attempting to stay busy while in quarantine. Players have resorted to creating videos on TikTok with many beginning to offer impressions in the days since the season was suspended.

The impression by Kanter of Fall was spot on as he even lowered the rim in his home gym to mimic his 7-foot-5 teammate easily dunking without jumping.

Kanter and Fall have become close friends this season on the Celtics and the two will often give each other playful jabs on social media or during interviews. Kanter even said prior to training camp that he had been waiting all summer to dunk on Fall.

LeBron James parties with virtual crowd on son Bryce’s TikTok account

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James showed off some more of his dancing adventures on TikTok with his son Bryce Maximus.

It’s Friday night and just because you’re probably at home doesn’t mean you’re not entitled to some kind of fun, whatever your idea of fun is. Perhaps it’s watching the NBA Player’s Only 2K tournament or something more traditional like something on Netflix, or maybe you can get into doing some of the many viral dance crazes on TikTok. We know that LeBron James is doing a lot of the latter and even though he admits that he looks like a fool at times, his son Bryce Maximus recruited him to do another one of the dance challenges, where participants put themselves in the middle of a virtual club.

LeBron has spent plenty of time on TikTok with his kids, because what else is he going to do these days?
