I think he does that and pulls on the net before the game.

He does break it out every now and then. He can get away with it if it's directed towards the crowd rather than the player he just blocked, or at least he has done in the past.

Anyway, does anyone know what the hell does Karl Malone say everytime he goes to the FT line?
Kobe's favorite player talks about Kobe
"I think he does what he has to do," San Antonio guard Manu Ginobili said. "Of course, there's a difference between 35 and 25 shots, but he's got that ability to make every shot. Even if it's in front of two guys he jumps so high on fadeaways it doesn't matter. He's got so many resources, it's easy for him to take 35 shots. If I was his teammate, I wouldn't care."

I hate that rule where Mutumbo's finger taunt is not allowed. I used to love that taunt.

I remember Ewing playing with his tongue. No racism included, but this guy is the closest thing to an ape we will ever find.

Yeah, back when he got MIP and 6th MOTY, I read an article on him and it said that he uses 7 sugar cubes in his coffee. :shock:

Also, Jason Terry sleeps in his game uniform the night before a game. At least when he was at Arizona and with the Hawks, but I think he still does that.

I found this quote somewhere, I think it was a site Jae posted.

Dikembe Mutombo (Atl) on his technical for wagging his finger after a
block: "I can not do the finger wave to the guy after I block a shot, I
have to do it to the crowd. I did it to the crowd, but the referee said
there was a bench in front of the crowd."

Ben Gordon never passes the ball when he gets it. :lol:

Gilber Arenas takes the ball around his waste twice before he shoots a freethrow.

When LeBron's looking to pass, he gets on the perimeter and dribbles between his legs and behind his back pointlessly.

Mike Bibby always clips his nails on the bench.
