  • I don't think they were disrespecting the haka. It's something that's never been done at a basketball game in Canada and people initially thought they were kidding around. Listen to the cheering and appluase at the end of the video...they caught on pretty quick that it was traditional. Canadians aren't disrespectful and pompous like Americans.

  • The Tall Blacks do the haka with no passion. Watch the rugby league boys do it.

  • ....it's a little more intimidating when the All Blacks do it.

  • 4th place?, dam there's no way... really cool.

    there's agentina, spain, australia, usa, ...

  • imagine the 300 spartans doing the Haka dance. Hahahahahaha! I bet xerxes' armies will retreat without a doubt.

  • Because the AB's are among the best and are at the leading edge and are good ambassadors who play a great style.

    The guys only got 4th in one world champs, and they played negative basketball. I know it's still an achievement worth respect but they're far from the 4th in the world in ranking and ability.

    Plus it's often only 5 men doing it. They're just trying to jump on the bandwagon and cash in, I can't see any reason why they should do it.

  • Wtf are u on about "truekiwijoker"?? U r a true dick! Why should it only b the All Blacks that perform the Haka? 4th place in the world in basketball for a country of 4 million people, where rugby dominates is truely awesome. Go the Tall Blacks Haka... you dick

  • Why should they? they didn't pay to see this.

    Just a big hold up for a team that probably didn't even perform anyway.
