Can you bounce a basketball off your booty after also bouncing it on your knee, doing a ballet twirl and looking fly as hell?

Didn’t think so.

Nevertheless, hoards of fans are trying to recreate the physics-defying basketball twerk in Normani’s hit “Motivation” music video. The ’90s-inspired jam has the internet in a tizzy, especially over the former Fifth Harmony singer and dancer’s seriously-baller move.

The killer choreography, which takes place on the same basketball court from the set of Jennifer Lopez’ “I’m Real (Remix)” video, has inspired fans to try their hand — or butt — at the dance move.

They tagged their best attempts #MotivationCallenge, and posted varying degrees of success.

Though none could match the swagger of Normani, a talent lauded by Beyonce herself, there were certainly some valiant efforts, including host Hunter March, who threw in a two-pointer at the end of the move.

Others acknowledged they could never truly get on Normani’s level.
