Wolf King Garnett's pre-game ritual is to hit the basket with his head three times, as a little brother Rondo was curious when he saw it, Garnett told him that the pre-game ritual can make a player or destroy a player, Garnett proved this with the championship, so Rondo began to brainstorm and want to develop his own pre-game ritual, he found that doing push-ups and listening to music was too common, and later he began to take a shower before the game, and to wash five times separately, each bath interval is 30 minutes, And the last bath must be done 45 minutes before the start of the game, otherwise he would not be on the court, he would write down the schedule of the entire ceremony with a notepad and strictly enforce it.
If Rondo had a cleanliness fetish, it would be understandable to take five pre-game showers, but it really doesn't make sense to take off the dead skin from his hands before a game like Monte Allis, who suffered an injury in 2008 when he played for the Warriors, injured his finger ligament, and during his recovery, he tried various treatments, rest, ice baths, cryotherapy, but none of them worked
Until one day, he began dipping his hands into some sticky, warm white mucus, which in fact was melted wax, and then stripped away all the dead skin on his hands, which Ellis insisted on for the rest of his career, making the skin of his hands as smooth as a baby's butt
