5 NBA Players with Iconic Pre-Game Rituals

#3 Dwyane Wade's Pre-Game Pull-ups

Wade has concocted a specific gameday ritual based around his lucky number. He wears No.3 for the Miami Heat, and before the game, knocks out three pull-ups hanging from the rim. Many believe that he got the ritual from Vince Carter who would pull himself from the net and kiss the rim to honor his grandma.

Also, building on the same tangent, Wade chews 'three' pieces of gum during the game, one during warm-ups, one at the beginning of the game, and one during halftime. And yes, this one's the last, he drinks 'three' bottles of Gatorade during the game. No more. No less.

Always in impeccable shape, Wade’s pre-game ritual shows off some of the upper body strength that helps make him great.

The Miami Heat fans would love to have Wade bring this ritual back as he recently announced the upcoming season would be his last with the franchise and in the NBA.
