Karl-Anthony Towns, now in his 10th NBA season with the Knicks, performs a ritual before games that includes using rosin powder and hand creams, inspired by NBA legends. His dedication to this routine is so strong that he felt frustrated when he couldn't find his pregame powder during his Knicks debut. Towns demonstrates how rituals, often adopted from influential players like LeBron James and Kevin Garnett, can play a significant role in an athlete's performance and mental preparation.
I saw LeBron doing it, I saw KG doing it, so I wanted my moment to use powder.
I actually got mad. I almost damn near flipped the scorer's table.
