New Zealand’s cultural phenomenon took everyone in the stadium by surprise.
Well, on the other hand, the US men’s team were clearly unbothered by the Kiwi’s Haka, as they stood there reaction less.
Well, the video went viral just a while after the video was posted on social media, with fans commenting on team USA’s reaction less response to the Haka.
Well, the Tall Blacks honor the nation’s Maori heritage with their traditional pregame Haka ritual.
This heritage dance is a personification of Maori culture, who were the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand.
The coordinated chanting, rhythmic stomping, and passionate facial expressions combine to create a mesmerizing spectacle that resonates with ancient meaning.
This age-old custom is frequently used by performers before important occasions, with each team having their own and unique Haka’s.
Well, just like the Kiwi’s Haka, it seems like the US Men’s team were also unbothered by the Kiwi’s defeating them with a score line of 99-72.
