How do you do the Felton/Graham handshake that they always do before the game starts?

This isn't even a contest...Golden Grahams is by far the corniest.

I guess its better than Graham's Crackers though.

Golden Grahams is terrible, as is Team Tyson.

Don't sleep on Jack's #1's though. So bad.

Step 1: Extend right hand toward person of intended shake.
Step 2: When your partner extends his or her hand, grasp it in a firm, but not unpleasent manner
Step 3: In sync with your partner move the grasped pair of hands up and down a maxiumum of two times!
Step 4: Release!

THAT IS IT! You are a big boy now! Soon you will be eating whole foods and using the potty by yourself!

Variations:

Da Hommey:
Step 2a: Pull you partner toward you in a playful manner
Step 2b: Pat your partner on the back as if you are acting out a purely hetreosexual quasi-hug
Complete as normal

The Political Ass-munch / Carsalesperson:
Step 3a: Extend your left hand and apply a small amount of pressure to the extended right elbow of your partner
Complete as normal

The Rochambeau:
Replace step 2 with the following:
KICK YOUR PARTNER IN THE DING DING.

Hope this helps! Good luck...I think walking will be your biggest challenge.

Your friend,

Did anyone else notice that Hendo and Acie Law would always shootaround together during warmups. They wouldnt do much shooting either haha... just a lot of ball fakes.

funny you mention that... i watched those mess around before a game a while back and hendo had the ball with acie on defense out at the 3pt line. hendo must have done 15 pump fakes before finally launching a shot. random.

ammo would just stand at the top of the 3pt line with a blank stare. no basketball. just standing there.

of course okafor would spend the entire time stretching.

and wallace will never shoot at halftime. he comes straight from the locker room to the bench then just sits there for the last 6 mins of halftime, usually alone.

Now with Acie gone, Hendo is lonely during warm-ups....Atleast sometimes the ball boy will play defense on him

The thing I found funniest was watching guys like Diop dribble the ball between their legs and complete swift wrap arounds behind their backs and knock down 18ft J's like it was their birth right only to wonder why they hell they couldn't do that during a game!

Diop looked like a 7 foot 280lb Jordan during warm ups, but during the game he looked like Gana Diop!
