Rudy Fernandez Leads Lip Dub of Party Rock Anthem at Basketball Camp

by Micah Hart

Confession: I have an irrational affinity for Rudy Fernandez. I felt legitimate sadness when he announced he was headed back to play in Spain, and I still believe (much as I do for Marvin Williams, but more so) that given the right circumstances he could have blossomed into a very productive NBA player, if not an outright star.

This video of Fernandez leading his basketball camp in a lip dub of LMFAO‘s Party Rock Anthem isn’t making me like him any less, I’ll tell you that much:

My favorite part is the cameo by the hefty kid showering* at about the 1:20 mark with a “What on Earth is going on here?” look on his face as they pass him by.

*As anyone who went to camp knows, YOU MUST SHOWER OFF BEFORE ENTERING THE POOL!

Outside of practicing for this performance, the kids totally learned to play basketball at Rudy’s camp, right?

VS

North Carolina Tar Heels

Starters (all stats per 48 minutes):

Marvin Williams, Hawks: 16.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.6 blocks, 1.0 steals
Raymond Felton, Nuggets: 20.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 11.2 assists, 0.2 blocks, 2.2 steals
Tyler Hansbrough, Pacers: 24.4 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.5 blocks, 1.3 steals
Vince Carter, Suns: 23.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 0.4 blocks, 1.5 steals
Ty Lawson, Nuggets: 20.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 0.1 blocks, 2.0 steals

Missed the cut: Ed Davis, Raptors; Wayne Ellington, Timberwolves; Brendan Haywood, Mavericks; Antawn Jamison, Cavaliers (injured); Brandan Wright, Nets

Team synopsis: With Jamison hurt, Hansbrough rides his recent hot streak into the starting lineup for the Tar Heels, which is a good thing for UNC because this team lacks an inside presence otherwise. Lawson and Felton take turns at the point in Denver, but share the backcourt here. Vinsanity may not be the force of nature he once was, but North Carolina will still need him to be the go-to scorer on this team.
