One of my favorite rituals to watch is certain basketball players shooting technical free throws. Normally with a free throw other players from both teams line the key, and after each free throw they’ll slap hands with their teammates after the shot. For a technical free throw there are no other players lining the key and some players will lean in and slap imaginary hands just to keep the ritual the same.

I don't think that I've heard giving a five referred to as "slap hands" before, but I'm definitely going to start saying this!
What GP is talking about isn't always a high five, so slap hands is a better phrase. See here for example: https://youtu.be/T9chSovkDkA?t=34
> giving a five
I've never heard it said this way. Or "slap hands". It's always "high five".
If it's delivered at waist level, how is it high?
