The Best Athlete Dubsmashes
Welcome to the new Internet trend for athletes: Dubsmash.
Dubsmash is more than just a video lip-syncing app—it's also a fantastic way to kill time. It has actually been around since November, but athletes are just now starting to pick up on it, much to the delight of fans and Instagram trollers alike.
Here are 12 athlete Dubsmashes for your enjoyment. Each will receive a score of 1-10 on creativity and hilarity to aid in the search for the most uniquely enjoyable Dubsmash of them all.
Derek Holland, this is yours to lose.
Honorable Mention: Becky Hammon
1 of 13Since we're talking athlete Dubsmashes, San Antonio Spurs assistant coach Becky Hammon has to get an honorable mention here. But make no mistake, her videos are no less hilarious.
Caroline Wozniacki
2 of 13OK, Caroline Wozniacki channeling Leonardo DiCaprio isn't exactly hysterical, but her passion is admirable. Plus, a Titantic throwback definitely gets points for originality.

Hilarity: 2/10
Total: 8/20
Neymar
3 of 13Brazilian soccer star Neymar is just 23 years old, but he is also a father. He and his young son Davi Lucca look downright adorable in this Dubsmash video. You might recognize their tune from Despicable Me 2.

Hilarity: 3/10

Serena Williams
4 of 13Serena Williams doesn't do anything halfway, does she?
In addition to her exceptional (understatement) tennis talent, Williams apparently has a penchant for dancing as well, at least when it comes to Dubsmashing.
Here she is, ahead of Wimbledon, lip-syncing and dancing to "So Long, Farewell" from The Sound of Music.

Aaron Rodgers
5 of 13They say the couple who plays together stays together, right?
So far that seems to be true for Olivia Munn and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The actress posted several Dubsmash videos to her Instagram recently, some featuring the NFL MVP.
The Mariah Carey lip-syncing is pretty funny, but this one from Princess Bride is also fantastic.

Billie Jean King
6 of 13OK, Billie Jean King is not a current athlete, but she is a tennis legend and an all-around boss lady. And her Dubsmash is on point, so it's included.
King and Sarina Morales of ESPN made their video to Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean." Though an obvious choice, it was flawlessly executed.

Jordan Spieth
7 of 13There's nothing like one sports figure impersonating another. Here, Masters and U.S. Open champion Jordan Spieth uses Dubsmash to recreate Jim Mora's epic playoffs rant. Well done.

Paul Bissonnette
8 of 13Paul Bissonnette is a former NHL player, now with the Ontario Reign, an AHL affiliate of the Los Angeles Kings. His Instagram handle is @Biznasty, so it shouldn't surprise you to know he has a reputation for boldness on social media.
Here is his magical Dubsmash, made with fellow hockey players Zach O'Brien and Andrew Crescenzi and set to "It Wasn't Me" by Shaggy.

Justin Verlander
9 of 13If Aaron Rodgers lip-syncing Mariah Carey is hilarious, then Justin Verlander's rendition of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler is pure comedic gold.
This Dubsmash comes courtesy of Verlander's girlfriend, Kate Upton. She also made mention in the caption of a J.V. Dubsmash from Bridesmaids. Sadly it isn't posted, but it is almost surely spectacular.

Dwyane Wade
10 of 13Dubsmash has allowed the world to see Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade lip-syncing "The Weekend" by Eden xo.
For that, the world should be grateful.

Hilarity: 8/10

David Price
11 of 13Toronto Blue Jays pitcher David Price made a Dubsmash of his dogs taking a walk. This isn't funny until you realize the accompanying song is "Know Yourself" by Drake.
The dogs are "runnin' through the six," aka Toronto.
Drake is from Toronto, Price pitches in Toronto. You get it.

Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo
12 of 13Presenting Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo: Additional proof the Chicago Cubs are, indeed, the most fun team in baseball.
The pair of All-Stars appear to be getting along swimmingly, both on and off the field. Bryant has several Dubsmash videos on his Instagram featuring Rizzo, including this one, if you're into fart jokes (who isn't?).

Hilarity: 8/10
Total: 16/20
Derek Holland
13 of 13Texas Rangers pitcher Derek Holland is one of the funnier people in sports—his Harry Caray and Arnold Schwarzenegger impressions are pretty much legendary at this point. So it's really no surprise a Dubsmash of his would find its way onto this list.
Even better, he chose the "Butter on a Pop-Tart" song from Family Guy as his audio. Perfection.
