Gone are the days when rookies have to strip and perform humiliating tasks as part of their initiations into the league -- wait -- I might be dreaming that up ... Anyway, as far as rookie hazing is concerned, in the hoops pro level, it seems relatively
tame lame. I mean, baseball makes their
rookies dress up as Teletubies! So what's the Atlanta Hawks' answer to that?
Shakedownsports.com lets us know the crazyness:
denying access to the elevators, son.
Well, it was the hazing that started Monday, when Horford was politely ordered out of an elevator by veteran center Lorenzen Wright.
"I said, 'Get off of here, rookie,' " Wright said, re-enacting the scene in the hallway outside the locker room after Tuesday's session.
"He looked back at me like he didn't want to get off. I think he had to think about it for a second. But he got off that elevator."
Oh burn! That's some hardcore humiliation right there. What's the next unbearable task Al Horford must endure? Glad you asked:
- Can't drink water out of the squirt bottles, only normal bottles with the cap, and he has to twist it off himself
- He's only allowed to take out one ball out of the rack at a time -- NO EXCEPTIONS
