Safety Jevón Holland was one of four Miami Dolphins players to get a sack Monday night. While it was the fifth of his career, it was Holland’s first sack since the 2022 season. So what better time to bust out a lightning bending celebration?
On social media, Holland confirmed that he was paying homage to Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender with his celebration.
Thank you, Uncle. ⚡️ pic.twitter.com/FkzQSsgoI3

For those unfamiliar with the show, many characters are able to manipulate or “bend” elements. Uncle Iroh is a firebending character, who has mastered the art of lightning bending by absorbing and redirecting it. He then teaches this to his nephew, Zuko, who used the technique in the clip posted by Holland.
Holland, 24, hasn’t been shy about sharing his many anime opinions on social media, which has included some Avatar takes. Perhaps we can get a Toph-inspired earthbending celebration from Holland next time.
