From bat flips to sports kids, 2015 was a great one for sports Vines. Below are the top 15 of the year:
15. This baseball dad really wanted to catch a ball.
Just imagine this moment in Vine form. It comes in last place based on principle. Please don’t do this.
14. Kanye West won’t smile for your cameras.
Stay cool, Kanye. Stay cool. And please drop Swish soon.
13. U.S. women’s soccer won the World Cup.
It was an extremely sweet 5-2 victory over Japan. USA! USA! USA!
12. Deflategate ridiculousness.
The deflated balls scandal lasted for what felt like forever, and nothing really came of it, aside from Vines that are almost as ridiculous as the scandal itself. Almost.
11. Michigan snatched defeat from the jaws of victory vs. Michigan State.
After this one, the Internet melted and so did the fans in attendance. What a night.
10. The Seahawks chose to pass instead of run, and the Patriots won the Super Bowl.
Then, Seattle went on a team vacation to Hawaii.
9. Draymond Green. YUP. LeBron James. NOPE.
Draymond had no filter at the Warriors’ championship parade, and it was glorious.
8. Mo’Ne Davis showed off her basketball skills.
Mo’Ne Davis stole the show at the 2014 Little League World Series. Her stardom carried her to the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game where she got to school Kevin Hart.
7. A sad, unscripted Calvin Johnson created TV magic.
A perfect camera angle and another Detroit Lions loss gave us this highly reusable clip.
6. The Monmouth bench is having a lot more fun than you are.
These guys may not be in the game, but they’re still college athletes and they’re here to have fun.
5. This Little League pitcher proved that kids are the best.
Again, just imagine this is in Vine form. Sometimes you just have to recognize greatness. This kid knows how to live in the moment. We should take his lead heading into the new year.
4. Steph Curry is the destroyer of worlds.
You can’t touch this — not last year, not this year, not ever.
3. Everyone started dabbing like Cam Newton.
He got a little bit of hate mail for celebrating touchdowns by dancing, which only makes it more awesome. He may as well just dab right into the Super Bowl.
2. Jose Bautista broke the Internet.
In a completely organic moment, Joey Bats chucked the most epic bat flip of the Vine era. The Toronto Blue Jays didn’t win the World Series, but with this moment, they win forever.
1. Riley Curry blessed us all.
Bow down to Queen Riley. With every year that goes by, she moves one step closer to the presidency.
