Cheerleader of the Week: Kelsey

Bruce Yeung for Sports Illustrated

Meet Kelsey of the Denver Nuggets Dancers, who says she's really good at untying knots... "For shoes or jewelry specifically. I grew up boating so untying ropes is part of the game."

"My celebrity crush is Chris Pine. I am secretly a huge Star Trek fan and he was an awesome Captain Kirk. Plus he’s got those eyes…"

Her one guilty pleasure? "I love brownies and brownie batter. Put it together with Orange is the New Black and I’m in guilty pleasure heaven."

Bruce Yeung for Sports Illustrated

"My most embarrassing moment happened off the court actually, we were running off from dancing to the tunnels and there are carpets covering up cords at the entrance of the tunnel. I hooked my foot in the cord, and while only a few fans saw, plenty of game entertainment staff witnessed me tripping and stumbling for a ways before catching myself. So far I haven’t fallen on the court (knock on wood!)"

Bruce Yeung for Sports Illustrated

Kelsey would love for Katy Perry to follow her on Twitter.
