Zealand players performing haka in front of USA basketball team

One memorable moment is the New Zealand national team's stirring pre-game haka, which became well-known when a video from the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup went viral. The haka, an ancient Mori combat dance with muscular gestures and shouting, symbolizes a tribe's strength, togetherness, and pride. Derrick Rose, Stephen Curry and James Harden were stunned by the performance.
