5 NBA Players with Iconic Pre-Game Rituals

#2 Kevin Garnett's Head Banger

Kevin Garnett has done the head-bangs for as long as anyone can remember

Before tip-off, Kevin Garnett really gets his 'head' in the game.

His pre-game ritual was one of the weirdest ever seen across the league. Before the clock starts, he would walk to the padded stanchion behind the baseline and underneath the basket, he would adjust his shorts with his head bowed and then pound his head into the stanchion a couple of times.

It was an awe-inspiring moment for the fans that got a chance to see it, as the ever-so-intense Garnett would let the beast out of its cage for a 48-minute battle.

This pre-game ritual served to psych Garnett up, allowing him to reach the level of focus that would allow him to dominate on both ends of the floor.

Some argued it should be discontinued as it could discombobulate him and hurt his chances, but looking at the career KG had, I wouldn't say it had any adverse effects.
