If this was Rugby or league I think NZ haka would be intimidating as they are a powerhouse, but In basketball I think this will give the USA more motivation.
Why did the USA team have to stand across from them like its forced to watch??? If I'm a USA player id go sit on the bench, We whooping they ass anyways.
@@norvinzor it is bascially forced to watch or else everyone will cry that USA is disrespectful. Team USA thinking "thats a cute little dance, now come get this work"
Lol when the British came and invaded new Zealand. History indicates that all this white British people were indeed Intimidated. Those British soldiers had guns. And resources and struggled to defeat Maori with sticks 😂
Right? The American team should have re-enacted the revolutionary war. And when Spain plays... we can bring out a bull. Italy... the whole team gets together and eats a nice dinner on the court. The coach gets mad and slaps one of the players... but it's okay because he's just really passionate.

New Zealand seems like a solid winner. Probably because they've got every ounce of strength and power in them (The Maori) that no one could bring them down to the ground.
I love the Haka Reminds me everytime of our warriors chant in Nigeria. Culture is glorious But the USA players though😂. Their faces be like " hurry up with the dance bruv and let's play"
I just love these young nba players. So mature and respectful. I would have been laughing my ass off. Thats exactly why they're in that great position and im not.

It's not about intimidation. It's an honoured tradition. It's about what it does for your own spirit. The haka has a magical effect on your spirit. Your body does involuntary things. You feel 10ft tall. In ancient times it was a war dance to prepare for battle. In modern times it is done to mark special occasions, weddings, homecoming, funerals. There is a video called "Haka across sports" that shows national sports teams from New Zealand. These are all mainly haka from World Cups, or World Championships. These sports : American Football Australian Rules Football Baseball Basketball Handball Hockey Ice Hockey Indoor Cricket Kabaddi Lacrosse Netball Rugby Rugby League Rugby Sevens Softball Volleyball Wheelchair Rugby That's right. Haka on ice skates and wheelchairs. This is NZ bro. This is who we are. 5 million strong. Taking on the world.
As an American, I absolutely love this. The Māori tradition of the Haka is so intense, yet so graceful at the same time. One of the things on my bucket list is to go to New Zealand 🇳🇿 one day, learn about the Māori Culture, learn about the Haka, and if possible, given permission to do a Haka. Like a Kiwi person told me once. “You don’t perform a Haka, you feel it!”
@@nateyarrall733as a american living in Los Angeles who thinks that rugby is the best sport out there bcoz not only is it poetry in motion but pride with a minor price to pay my bucket list is to see a traditional Maori haka at a rugby 7s game in New Zealand and here the Aeoteora in person
It works more when their Rugby team the All Blacks does it. Because most of the time, the All Blacks is gonna whoop the other team's ass. The basketball on the other hand is a different story however it's one of New Zealand's beautiful culture.

Keep this tradition going! Thank you Kiwi’s for branding your culture to the world. Love from Bosnia.

Nah, its meaningless. Has about as much to do w/ sports as cheer leading.

War dance before a match is not meant to be intimidating. It is meant to hype up yourself and your opponents (raise testosterone levels).

Love that they did it. Great nod to their heritage. Not the most intimidating Haka I have ever seen.
My thoughts exactly. Rugby union haka is a bit scarier because they look like they would glass me at a pub for looking at them the wrong way.
Less Haka more Zone coverage.

Exactly! Had they just played the formation they were in at 0:09 of the video, the US would've only won by 6.
