On a previous post last week, I shared some insight into the New York Knicks’s Jeremy Lin and Laundry Fields pre-game hand shake ritual. And then, I bumped into Time Magazine’s step by step explanation. It was pretty neat to actually see hand-drawn pictures of Jeremy Lin and Laundry Fields opening the bible and doing their thing.

When you  view the step by step picture, hover your cursor over the picture and scroll to the right. Good job, Time Magazine, for explaining this peculiar pre-game ritual before every New York Knicks game. One comes to appreciate this ritual after having some clue as to what they do each and every time.

During the pre-game, have you seen New York Knicks’ Jeremy Lin and Laundry Field’s pre-game handshake? At first, I was like “What in the world is that? How corny!” I don’t know what your reaction was when you witnessed such a pre-game ritual between these two buddies, but Forbes Magazine published an article that describes the story behind the Jeremy Lin pre-game handshake ritual with Laundry Fields:

The original secret handshake is them flipping through a Bible, taking off their glasses, and tucking them away in their pocket protectors.

The second variation which was on display at the Lakers game is similiar: flipping through a Bible, taking off their glasses, tucking them away in their pocket protectors, but ends with them pointing and glancing upwards giving props to God. Source: Forbes Magazine

Linsanity continues.
