2021 NBA regular season thread

[Wamu]

At first I thought you were just kidding, now I see you’re not.

where did I say that all athletes do the same EXACT type of training for their respective sport?

this is why I call you scary. And it’s clear your cohorts here are just as naive to think that way.

CLEARLY, y’all need everything spelled out.

Where did you say all athletes do the same training? Comment # 12,740- "it makes no difference what sport you are preparing for"

You done with your goofy little game yet?

Good deal. What pizza toppings? Hope it's not limburger cheese & double anchovies.

I threw up a little bit typing this comment

Pepperoni. Trying to decide if I'm going to make 2 crispy, thin crust pizzas or 1 NY Style. My son loves anchovies, so if I decide on the 2 thin crust, he'll be getting the anchovies (that I currently have hidden) on his.

‘It makes no difference what sport you are preparing for...

meaning, you have to prepare yourself for what your sport requires of you..

if you’re a football player and the position you play is lineman, you pump heavy for bulk

if your a nascar driver you pump light and eat light so your gut don’t interfere with the wheel.,

if you’re a golfer, don’t do steroids and screw up your head and swing like Tiger did... light weights to keep tone for that TV image..

volleyball players , women. Cut the f up with diet , and butt blastin..

baseball , steroids all forms of it

basketball, weights moderate, sprints , weed lots of it...

Except for that whole not doing anything to stay in shape or work on their games in the off-season thing, right?

It’s because most players do not put time in gym off season, they travel , with family. They do everything possible to get away from game.

You take it easy off season , cause the season comes up fast! Think about it, you gonna bust your ass off season? Buy time season starts you’ll be spent!

You and wamu go to different schools together?

all athletes train, at their convenience.

They train a lot actually. Especially today.

You were the one claiming “NBA players didn’t improve their skills”. That they are lazy and sit around all off season.

That was you.

 

[Pastafazul]

Yes, the veterans walk away from game after season, they take a few months off to travel and be with family. Maybe, 4-6 weeks before camp they start mild training with weights , light drills to prepare for camp .., if you think they do anything arduous to jeopardize injury, you’re nuttier than you present being.

Hey dingbat, tell me where Julius Randle felt like Julius Randle before being Julius Randle the knick all star?

I don’t know what the hell this means.

But Julius Randle is a lot better today because he works his ass off all summer long and he developed a very good jump shot when before he was a very inefficient perimeter shooter.

All the other skills, ball handling, passing,etc, he was well above average for his size. Enhanced shooting has made him an all star.

 

[trojanfan12]

Enhanced shooting has made him an all star.

That and he has transformed his body. He was a little on the chunky side for his first couple of seasons or so. He wasn't exactly Oliver Miller...but conditioning wasn't his strength.

Not a possibility that environment played a role in Randles past performance?

last year when the Knicks decided to take every free agent available, forwards , that had no affect on him? Portis , 2 very similar type players , no affect? Ironic ain’t it since the 2 were split up, both have had an incredible season for there respective teams , when together, neither one did a dang thing for the Knicks ...

Ooh, Ooh, now tell us about the time you flew that rocket ship to a huge meteor that was headed straight for earth and saved all of humanity.

If Bruce willis can do it, why not Pasta?

Maybe a little.

But not nearly as much an impact as the work he has done.

He is a completely different player today than he was even 2 years ago when he signed with NY.
