NBA players have different routines they do during warmups to keep them loose before the start of games. From shooting a specific number of shots from the 3-point or free throw line, to listening to music while stretching, these are just some of the common ones they have been doing.
For Golden State Warriors star forward Kevin Durant though, his warmup on Wednesday was noticeably odd. He was seen on the floor awkwardly trying to breakdance and complete a push-up, before he quickly stood up and shot the ball from beyond the arc.

For what it's worth, it was obvious that he had a lot of fun doing it, and even shared a laugh with his teammate, David West. His pregame act also helped him get going during the game, as he finished with 29 points, on 11-of-20 shooting from the field, to go along with four rebounds, five assists and one steal in 38 minutes of action.
It may not be a common sight to see, and how he did it seemed odd to say the least, but one thing that's certain is that the Oakland faithful are not complaining, as long it helps Durant to continue playing at a high level. The team has won two games in a row now, and are above .500 for the first time this season, with a 3-2 record.
