Team New Zealand’s pregame Haka dance dumbfounds Team USA

Team USA may have throttled Team New Zealand but before the game tipped off, it was the Tall Blacks who were making the US look confused.

Before any match, New Zealand performs the Haka dance which is mean to strike fear in their opponents such as forceful movements, shouting, chest pounding and much more. It is not just a war dance however and is often used to welcome foreign dignitaries to New Zealand and at special occasions.

However, a few USA players, such as James Harden, had no idea what was going on.
