Team USA got something they didn’t bargain for when they faced off with New Zealand today.
The Haka Dance.
[adsenseyu3]
Here is information on the New Zealand haka dance:
A haka (plural is the same as singular: haka) is a traditional ancestral war cry, dance or challenge from the Māori people of New Zealand. It is a posture dance performed by a group, with vigorous movements and stamping of the feet with rhythmically shouted accompaniment.[1] The New Zealand rugby team’s practice of performing a haka before their matches has made the dance more widely known around the world.
As you can tell, Derrick Rose, James Harden, and Kenneth Faried did not know what to think.
Could you imagine Kentucky Basketball or an opponent performing the haka before a game in Rupp Arena?
