Could it be not everyone loves the "Harlem Shake" YouTube craze? Well one of the more popular "Harlem Shake" videos features the players from the NBA's Miami Heat, performing the viral video dance. The video, posted on Feb. 28 already has over 35 million views. Some might say that LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and the Heat players bring the "Harlem Shake" video craze to a new level. That is until we found out about the "Timberwolves Harlem Shake" brought to us by the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are a fellow NBA team, but not many people may know that. This is because, well, they simply aren't that good. They also don't have LeBron Jams, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh on their team. However, the T-Wolves aren't going to take the Heat's "Harlem Shake" video lying down. So they created one of their own.

Instead of trying to match the Heat, the Timberwolves made their own unique version of the YouTube video. They also didn't use any of their players. Instead, they let their mascot partake in the fun.

The video starts out with a man dressed in a Miami Heat jersey dancing on his own. Just when viewers would usually see a room full of people dancing in crazy outfits, the T-Wolves mascot "Crunch" comes out with rubber blue baseball bat and beats the man in the Miami Heat jersey down. Crunch then slams the bat down and storms off. The end of the video reads, "Some Things Get Old Fast."

First, lets take you back to the Miami Heat "Harlem Shake" video seen here.

Now, watch as Crunch gets his revenge on the Heat in the T-Wolves own "Harlem Shake" video.

Hats off to the Timberwolves for coming up with their own unique version of the "Harlem Shake." Something tells me, if they tried to do the "Harlem Shake" the way the Heat did it, it just wouldn't of held up.
