On the FT line, Jermaine O'Neal dribbles hard for a few times, then looks at the hoop for about 3 or 4 seconds, dribbles again and shoots.

Jeff Hornacek used to lick his hands when he took FTs.

You left out the actual habits of his free throw stroke, blowing into his fist, and digging in his foot as if it were a pitchers mound.

Reggie had a TON of things he did, screaming and talking shit to the Pacers PR guy was one.

Sarunas Jaskevicius blows into his fists at least 1000 times every game.

Are you talking about the Saras thing? If so, its to keep your hands warm. However, Saras does it an incredible amount. If the camera is on him, he's blowing in to his hand. Every time.

Gary Payton is ALWAYS puzzled when a foul is called on him. He will ALWAYS stare at the ref, with a "I'll slit you're throat if you call another one on me" look.

In fact, Arenas throws his jersey in the crowd at the end of every game.

I know there's one guy, from memory it's Haslem, that punches in his hand before receiving the ball before shooting a FT.

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


In last years' playoffs he did that quite a bit. In the playoffs, the taunting rule is null and void.

Reggie had a TON of things he did, screaming and talking shit to the Pacers PR guy was one.


They talked about it on TNT once. The announcer said that Reggie could trash-talk about everything to the PR guy except about the guy's family and his dog. :lol:

Kmart does a little dance flexing his muscles after his blocks (only occasionly).
Nate Robinson brings the ball around his waist twice then touches the tatoo on his arm before shooting a free throw.

Lebron has a habit of missing clutch shots. As has been mentioned before.. Kobe has a bad habit of ball hogging and taking all the shots. :!:
