While the NBA has a clearly defined "no bullying" policy, each and every year we see veterans subject first-year players to some type of rookie hazing that thankfully falls far short of some of the bracing stuff seen in other sports. One favored tradition involves making rookies do stuff like wear little girls' backpacks and transport baby dolls in toy strollers. Another features vets filling rooks' cars with garbage bags full of popcorn, which might not last as long as a season full of toting around dolls or schoolbags, but really seems like one heck of a day-ruiner.
