In less than six weeks following Maryland basketball's loss to Kansas in the Sweet Sixteen, sophomore guards Jared Nickens and Jaylen Brantley spread a dance movement around the country, got famous and went on the Ellen Show. They're doing the offseason right.
Dancing isn't all that new to Nickens and Brantley. They started posting videos of themselves dancing to Instagram and Twitter long before the Running Man Challenge started.
"[Jaylen's] always joking, dancing, playing around,"Milwaukee Bucks guard Michael Carter-Williams, a high school teammate of Brantley, told reporter Joshua Vinson.
But the Running Man Challenge took off immediately in a way none of their other videos did.
