Korean Basketball League Does Mannequin Challenge in Middle of All-Star Game

For some odd reason, the mannequin challenge became a popular trend last fall. For some odder reason, the Korean Basketball League did it during the middle of a January game.

For those who already forgot, the challenge requires everyone to freeze in place. The poses often increased in intricacy as the craze grew, but its 15 minutes of fame seemingly expired weeks ago.

Don't tell that to the KBL, which filed a late submission for the most creative one yet. During the league's All-Star Game, both teams—including players and coaches on the sideline—paused after a jump shot.

Everyone was in on the prepared bit, as the game and shot clock also stopped.

NBA stars can match the KBL's timeliness by playing Pokemon Go during their exhibition February 19.
