Good news! June 29 is National Handshake Day and nobody loves handshakes more than the NBA. Cleveland Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue even said he wished “we could remember our defensive schemes that well” when referring to all the different handshakes his team had for each other. It’s kind of eerie he said that given the Cavaliers needed better defense in the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors, but we’ll move on.
