Caron Butler
If you’ve followed the NBA then you are well acquainted with Caron Butler’s fetish for chewing plastic straws during games. In 2007 he even said that “his favorite straws are from McDonald’s and Burger King,” and he goes through an insane amount of wait for it…. 12 straws per game! But the NBA was not too thrilled about this and outlawed straw chewing during the game as its a safety issue. He was allowed to chew as many straws as he wanted on the bench, but during the game was out of the question!
Dikembe Mutombo
One of the greatest shot-blockers the NBA has ever seen, Mutombo is known for his signature finger-wag. The NBA created a rule that yielded a technical foul for finger-wagging at an opponent as it was considered taunting. This trademark is so famous that it even outshines any other impressive things Mutomba achieved on the court.
