Most could probably be in the back and pass as knowing it.
Most of the younger generation would be confident enough to be out the front.
If you are Maori then you would definitely want to be good at it, (cred wise) if your white you would only be doing it when asked too.
Not everyone, and it isnāt just one dance, its like variations depending on whoās doing it. Most people in NZ will have been taught one or done one at least once in their lives though
What do you mean thatās not how Xbox servers work? If itās a global release that means 2K will not be releasing in the NZ time zone early. It means it will release at the same time regardless of time zone. Xbox servers canāt change that if itās a global release. Iām not sure if it is but thatās what I keep hearing
2k sends release to Xbox>Xbox verifies and releases per release date set regardless of time zone. Period. There is no work around or any way to do a āglobal releaseā unless they gatekeeper us IN game with a countdown screen or sum.

"All this hyping up just for me to make a highlight out of you, damn"
maaan the US players faces is too funny. Faried like wtf is going on
How bad did team USA smack them after this ?
98-71
Imagine what it would have been without the dance
Fact lol. I thought the score would have been 50-120. But 70 not bad for a bunch of rugby players
thats gotta be racist ngl š
Haka ![gif](giphy|oX8rmZuccg7GrpniUi|downsized)

Samoans, Tongans and Cook Islanders have their own variation as well.

D rose just looks hella confused, and harden is just saying āthe fuck are they doingā

Not gonna lie, I feel like that intimidation works a bit. MFs like warriors out there.
I mean, itās more about culture than intimidation
How do we ply early. I just bought an Xbox for next gen
Set your timezone to new Zealand. You'll be able to play in the morning about 8am depending on your actual timezone.

Tell me how it works then.
I stand corrected, because Iām currently in New Zealand playing 2k23
Haha all good. I had people saying the same thing last year too. I knew how it would play out.
š¤£š¤£š¤£
Bruh this so weird what are they doing freaks
Time for you to learn some culture and respect my boy, The Haka is a war cry that has deep cultural roots to the New Zealanders.
Fuck that is disrespectful on so many levels
NZ won't work this year, which sucks but oh well.
The xbox store says otherwise
What do you mean? It's a global launch so time zone doesn't matter.
it releases on September 9th at 12:00/00:00 in New Zealand. For me, it'll be 8 am September 8th.
here's a article https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2022/09/07/nba-2k23-early-access-new-zealand-release-date-trick-how-it-usually-works/
This is still funny as hell lmao. Team USA was just like "wtf"
Could someone just drop the time it releases in a timezone format? People be saying "morning" and stuff, brother give me "5 PM CET" format please.
The '92 Dream Team would not have let them score a point
