Look, we know this is like some sort of show of respect for the opponent, but here in America and us being an unapologetic “ugly American”, well…
New Zealanders call this a “haka” – we call it “hopping on the boy band trend six years after the fact”. But what are they singing? It sure doesn’t look like they all agreed on a routine beforehand.
1) “In America, teams like Cleve-Land sign me to contracts of one year in duration for many American dollars! Many American dollars, girl…!”
2) “Girl, my anger is looking for a hot babe American for me to bang that lady out! Bang that lady out! Yeah, yeah…” *
3) “Long division, kids…we’re the Long Division Kids…long division, kids! It can be your friend, hey, hey! It can be your pal, yeah, yeah! Girl!”
4) “My head is – - THIS BIG! Oh, yeah girl, it can’t be stopped now, it’s – - THIS BIG! Oh, it’s getting bigger, oh, it’s getting stronger, yeah…hey, hey…THIS BIG!”
5) “Father requires that I attend the basketball matches, but I would much rather be in attendance at his factory, designing the All-New 2009 Yamada Rigor for him.”
6) “YYYEEAAHHHHNHHGGGHGHGHHGGHHTTTHTHHHHH!!!!! (Yeah, girl!)”
NOTE: Repeat chorus 8 times.
We don’t mean to be completely culturally insensitive, so allow us to note that we didn’t call out every single player on this team.
* Special thanks to Becky.

haha I rock so hard
I haven’t actually seen the footage of the basketball team doing the Haka, but you’ve gotta check out the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team doing it here. I have no idea what they’re singing, but it looks way cooler when the rugby team does it than that pic of the basketball team doing it.
