The legend that is LeBron James has a few things he must do on game day. Such as rubbing chalk on his hands and throwing the powder in the air. I know, totally normal, right?

However he’s got one more superstition that is slightly more, well, odd. He actually has secret handshakes with every single player on his team. No player ever has the same handshake, so not only does he shake each person’s hand in their super secret school girl way but he remembers each one perfectly. Weirdo. JK, we love you.

You might think that the baggy, long shorts that Michael Jordan wore were odd but there’s a good reason for that. You see, Jordan had a lucky pair of practice shorts back at his university, North Carolina Tar Heels.

Obviously he couldn’t wear a different team’s uniform so he would wear the Tar Heels shorts underneath his Chicago Bulls ones. Ergo, the baggy look which suddenly became the norm for a lot of athletes.
