Sure, Nelson is risking a fine by doing so, but what the heck? He's having fun in what has been a miserable season for him with the Orlando Magic.

Nelson will probably still have to pay from his pocket, though.

Just ask Andray Blatche, who did the same dance earlier in the year and had to pay $15,000 because of it. Or Marco Belinelli, who paid the same amount for celebrating a playoff win last May.

As evidenced by this recent breakdown, this has been, and will likely remain, a popular trend in today's NBA.
