As of late, it seems everybody is getting stricken with a case of “Harlem Shake” fever.

The popular dance craze has been sweeping the nation--and the internet--and fans, players and even commentators around the NBA have been joining in.

In recent weeks, the NBA has had everything from YouTube to live on-air versions of the Harlem Shake from the Inside the NBA crew to getting teams like the world champion Miami Heat, Toronto Raptors, and mascots from the Atlanta Hawks, Orlando Magic and Phoenix Suns.

And more recently, it prompted a response from a Minnesota Timberwolves fan who was less than thrilled about the dance. It’s become infectious, and it seems to be growing with each moment.

But which videos are the best? Latinos Post breaks down the Top Five NBA Harlem Shake Videos:

5.       Denver Nuggets

The sight of Javale McGee wearing a Predator mask in a gym makes this one an instant win to begin with, as the Nuggets, in the midst of a playoff-bound season, decided to cut loose in the middle of a workout in one great video that featured one guy wearing a Darth Vader mask, the “Ghostface” killer from the “Scream” movies and one player doing “The Worm” with red clown hair.

 4.       Mascots Get Down At the NBA All-Star Game

Think that’s just an innocent gym where a lonely janitor is doing his custodial duties?

Think again. NBA mascots, fans and ballboys got wild and crazy as they threw confetti, smoke, and LeBron James heads in the air doing the Harlem Shake during the NBA All Star 2013 events in Houston, Texas.

3.        Inside the NBA edition

Shaq wearing a toupee. Need we say more?

Even Shaquille O'Neal, Kenny Smith and TNT's "Inside The NBA" team were not immune to the dance craze of the Harlem Shake as they did their own video featuring twirling umbrellas, crowns and Shaq giving one crew member a piggy back ride.

2.           Orlando Magic Get Down in the Ozone

Stuff the Magic Mascot plus Muppets plus thousands of screaming fans and cheerleaders equals one heck of a video for Orlando Magic fans as the Harlem Shake went to the Magic Kingdom.

1.        The Harlem Shake Takes Its Talents to South Beach

They’re already at the top of the NBA, so it’s only fitting that the world champion Miami Heat and reigning MVP LeBron James get the No.1 spot for their wildly popular video, which debuted last week on Feb. 28 and has more than 32 million hits as of March 5.
