For years athletes, have been famous for their for superstitious practices. Scratching thier leg at the leg at the free throw line, adjusting thier shirt, and many other things. In Cssl many players also have thier in game/ pregame rituals. Ironically Blackjack, drafted 8th overall by puma is already drawing lots of attention for his superstitous ways. Before every game he plays a few games of blackjack, and won't step onto the court before he wins one. "when i was growing up, me and friends would play blackjack and other card games, then we'd play basketball; Every time i won at Blackjack i did well at Basketball. I have a feeling that his teamates are gonna let him win. In case you were wondering How afro T's fro got so big; he picks it out before every game. " its not so much superstition, as it is calming my nerves before the game. Hurricane has been known to watch old news clips of hurricane wreckage. However there is no record of any one witnessing this. Also underdog sometimes watches reruns of "underdog" the animated TV series before big games. "When i'm in a clutch situation, i just think; What would underdog do in this situation?" says underdog. Many players use superstition, but does it really have an effect on the preformance of players? Some players don't know, and they don't want to find out. For Flight the opposite is true. " i used to listen to The Clincher, by chevelle before every game" says flight. Then one day he couldn't find his ipod. As it turns out, not listening to the ipod was the clincher. Flight finished with 22 points 9 blocks and 10 boards. "i'll never bring it out before a game again says flight. From playing cards to fancy hair-dos Superstition lives in cssl.
