Even on the fast break!

Anyway, Kobe loves to blow his mouth before Free Throws.

everyone has their own FT technique...
no point naming 3 of them without the rest

Antoine Walker has a habit of jacking up shit 3 pointer attempts

Fri Dec 23, 2005 7:37 pm

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

Fri Dec 23, 2005 10:52 pm

Pat Garrity taps his foot before he shoots.

Fri Dec 23, 2005 11:12 pm

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

Jason Kidd blows a kiss to his wife before every free throw...

Sat Dec 24, 2005 1:13 am

Daris Miles/ Q. Richardson headbanging thing.

Van Exel and his far free throw attempts

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.

carter-does pull ups on the net
arenas-does around the world around his body before free throws
stackhouse-eats a bag of gummy bears

nash is just digusting....doesnt he think of everyone who is playing???.....someone is gonna get hiv from him

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

Sat Dec 24, 2005 5:49 am

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...

Sat Dec 24, 2005 6:21 am

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.

Sat Dec 24, 2005 6:34 am

Nate Robinson brings the ball around his waist twice then touches the tatoo on his arm before shooting a free throw.

Yeah I think so too, I seen him do it against the Heat when he hit his first (and only) 3...

Sat Dec 24, 2005 7:16 am

You guys completely forgot about Mutombo's finger wag :P

Sat Dec 24, 2005 7:38 am

Duncan does the same as Lebron except he looks frightened for some reason when he does it. :lol:

Sat Dec 24, 2005 8:18 am

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.

i wouldn't really call that a routine anymore it's more like an obsessive compulsive disorder :lol:

i've seen him powder up his hands and then blowing it towards someones face; pretty hilarious

he hasn't been allowed to do that in years.. Ever since taunting was outlawed.

Sat Dec 24, 2005 1:02 pm

Sat Dec 24, 2005 1:06 pm

Arujo (of the Raptors) playing horrible, jsut missing easy shots and doing stupid things.
