Another day, another Mannequin Challenge.

This one is anything but ordinary since it stars the 2016 NBA Champion Cleveland Cavaliers and the FLOTUS herself, Michelle Obama. They teamed up to film it on Thursday during the Cavs' visit to the White House.

But why is it the best one yet? Well, aside from a brief LeBron James blink, the cast is absolutely still. And let's face it, as her time in the White House winds down, any time with the First Lady is appreciated.

There's some speculation that NBA teams won't visit the White House when Donald Trump becomes president. If that's the case, may this Mannequin Challenge forever live in infamy.
