Even on the fast break!

Anyway, Kobe loves to blow his mouth before Free Throws.
Rip puts the ball around his waist during FTs.

Jerry Stackhouse descends on FT's so low that his ass just about touches the floor. Effective though.

Steve Nash doesn't sit on the bench , he lays down on the floor . Most obvious one , MJ stuck his tongue out doing everything.

Kevin Garnett goes through a very strict and precise routine before every game. It starts in the locker room, then he takes the same shots every game during warm ups, stands in the same place during the national anthem, sits in the same spot on the bench, then he goes and straightens out his uniform under the basket, does a little dance or something (I dunno), fist pounds the coaching staff, does the MJ powder thing, tabs everyone on the court, goes to the corner and pounds his chest and then he has to be the last person in the circle for the jump ball.

I think I forget something but that is basically it. Go to a T-Wolves game and get there during the warm-ups, you'll notice KG doing all of this. He even keeps track of when he dunks and when he does a reverse on the lay-up lines. It's quite insane.

Martin always shows the name of the team(on his jersey) he is playing for when he makes a big dunk.

Arenas always brings the ball around his waist... 2 or 3 times (i forget which) before shooting a free throw.

That's all I ever really noticed. I'm not that observant of a person...

Reggie Miller talks smack to a coach or something before every game. I'm not too sure, but I think Indy can clarify that. :P

Also, Michael Redd points to the ceiling everytime he hits a three pointer I think.

Anybody remember Alonzo Mourning and his dirty wristband? He used to rub snot all over it then wipe his mouth with it in one subsequent motion before every free throw.
