Watching the 36ers the last few games and was wondering why DJ wears
D. Johnson on his jersey for the first half, yet runs Johnson for the 2nd half.
Is this a superstitious trait? If so has to be the weirdest one I've seen in 25+ years of watching hoops.
Any hoopsters on here know of any weird superstitions you’ve seen before?

It's because he refuses to play D in the second half
Wow, good spotting. Very strange.
Wonder what other ones are out there, mine was I always had to have chicken game day, either lunch or tea. Couple of times I got desperate and had to do with packet of chicken chips. And yes, I knew there was no chicken in them but made sense at the time.
What are other peoples?
Nothing to see here. It's his spare top and he’s a sweater
So changes at half time.

Agreed.

Spare top makes no sense. Surely a spare would be printed identically.
This could start a trend. Imagine the merchandising opportunities. Lebron James could have a dozen or so Jersey variants to sell. NBA marketing should hire DJ as a consultant.

NBL media needs to have a full page article, tweet and instagram post about this

Nothing to see Anon is correct... Johnson is a super sweater and changes at half time. First top is D. Johnson to distinguish from the 36ers development player Bijan Johnson (http://www.nbl.com.au/player/bijan-johnson).
Not basketball, but one of the weirdest athlete superstitions I've ever heard of is Adam Treloar.
-Gets a new pair of red underwear for each season and wears it every game that season.
-Puts his clothes/boots/socks on from left to right
-And the best one...Has to watch the Simpsons on his laptop while shaving his legs in the shower pregame
Claims he used to have a whole bunch more but had to stop because he didn't have time to fit them all in pregame lol
