Antonio McDyess has a ritual in which he removes his clothing and puts his game jersey on in a specific order. If the order is not met, he puts his clothes back on and starts over by walking back into the locker room.

Vlade Divac is a total neat freak. When he played for the Kings, his teammates would often do things to his hotel rooms just to "foul them up" a little.

Used to drive the bearded flopper crazy, reportedly.
