For the last four years, there has only been one moment of its kind. It had no rival, no other awkward, uncomfortable celebratory moment that was even in the same ball park. That is, until Saturday.

From April 11, 2004, up until March 15, 2008, you knew how to compare every awkward celebration you saw. When a pitcher threw the final out of a no-hitter but then missed his high five with the catcher, you could say: “Well, at least that wasn’t as bad as Phil Mickelson’s celebration after winning The Masters.”

If a tennis player dropped in a heap and appeared to injure himself after winning a tournament, you could say: “That was weird looking, but not nearly as uncomfortable as that attempted celebration Mickelson had with his caddy in ‘04.”

It was easy. Everyone knew how awkward that celebration was, how it almost ruined the coolness of the moment. But you knew this was the bar to which all other uncomfortable celebration could be compared. Mickelson’s post-putt reaction was essentially the opposite level of Michael Jordan’s reaction after beating the Cavs in the 1988 playoffs.

Then came Tyler Hansbrough’s game-winning shot and gyrations after defeating Virgina Tech on Saturday. Suddenly, Mickelson’s Masters celebration had a rival.

People watching everywhere had to have had the same reaction. “What a play! Oh, what the hell is he doing? Turn it! Turn the channel!” For every poem JJ Redick might have written, he never performed a running, dance thing like that. For all the tears Adam Morrison shed on national television, he never high-stepped down the court like that.

It was like watching Elaine dance, minus the thumb action.

We’ll leave open to discussion whether Pyscho T’s moves surpass Mickelson, or if Mickelson still wears the crown for awkward celebrations. But Hansbrough put himself solidly in that conversation. And thanks to YouTube, we can all enjoy what Tyler brought to the table…

Wow.
