Do high-fives help a team win? The Phoenix Suns want to find out.

“We have a high-five stat,” coach Earl Watson said earlier this week. “I’m being honest with you. This is true. So we want to keep track of how many high-fives we get per game to each other.”

On the surface it seems a little crazy to track high-fives, but it kind of makes sense. Having teammates that constantly support one another should help camaraderie and team chemistry. But at the end of the day, this is a league that cares about wins, so will this help lead to dubs?
