he Cleveland Cavaliers are a fun team to watch on the court with the fourth best record in the Eastern Conference at 38-24. The acquisitions of JR Smith, Iman Shumpert and Timofey Mozgov have completely changed the course of the season. Along with the winning, the team has seemingly come together and become a family off the court. This can be seen with the funny pre-game rituals of the Cavs players. The star of the show, LeBron James, is right in the middle of the pre-game festivities. Check out the video of James' handshakes with his teammates below, courtesy of Eric Sandy of Cleveland Scene Magazine.

The first part of the pre-game ritual for LeBron James is his hair handshake with Iman Shumpert. Shumpert silhouettes his awesome flat-top (not really flat on top though) and then James does the same (possibly wishing he had hair like his younger teammate?). Once the two are finished with their handshake, James gives a quick double fist bump to announcer Austin Carr and then moves on to James Jones. With Jones, the two simultaneous tighten up their imaginary ties, getting ready to do work. The last stop on the James' handshake line is newly acquired Kendrick Perkins. In his last stop, James gets an earful in a loving embrace from Perkins. Perkins must be pumping up James and getting him ready for the coming game (It is one of the longest hugs of all time). What a process just to get out to the court for the LeBron James.

Sometimes when some body is really pumped up and is feeling the game, then they will usually paint their face or do something with the crowd and get them pumped up. Sometimes for what I do I will write something on my arms to maybe strike fear in the enemies hearts and it will get me hungry to get the ball and do my best!
