this is unreal... I thought it was a joke, but no. The actual name of new Zealand's team is the tall blacks. Watch... they are a bunch of white dudes about 5'10

could be...if the bare naked ladies can be a group of fully clothed men...the tall blacks could be a group of vertically challenged white boys.

New Zealand's Rugby national team is called the ALL BLACKS. They are one of the best and most feared teams in the world of rugby.

They named their basketball team TALL BLACKS because they are TALL ALL BLACKS... really.

But they suck...

If you wanna find out why their rugby team was named ALL BLACKS, read:

Dudes! This New Zealand ball players have their own pre-game war dance called the "Haka". Yes "Haka". It is like a tribal dance. This is serious, I saw it on tv during the infamous World Championship Basketball game against USA two years ago. Pretty funny stuff.
Knicks are happening and have a Unicorn.

Yeah, dude. HAKA stuff is cool. I seen it when I visited NZ.

Imagine yourself standing in front a group of huge and scary looking Maori (native New Zealanders) and other rugby players dancing this war dance that is designed to inspire themselves and intimidate the opponents.

the allblacks are a killer team. Some of them have mauri warriors tatoos, and the haka dance put fear in the heart of all their opponents.
