    I dig it! BI when he's on last season was starting to give hints of looking unstoppable with his handle, moves, height and shots. Got Zubac and Clarkson working on looks like floaters shooting form without jumping? Zu looking good as always with those soft hands and Clarkson looking like a boss both hands and some crazy height on some of them.

    I look forward to these each and every day. Could watch these guys work on their games for hours.

    Love to see the improve form on Ingram's shot and JC working on his floater with both hands.

    This practice vids are better than the actual games from last season, post more.
    Side note. I can fill in for the guy "guarding" Ingram. I'll do it for 2k a month, will eat, s***, sleep in the gym too...

    As much as I appreciate all our kids in the gym working on their games and getting shredded, I hope they take some time to allow their bodies to rest and reduce injuries for next season. It's only been what, a month and a half since the end of season. My high school coach always made us play something else inbetween seasons.

    :Laugh: How many games did that cost Kareem? Did NBA even have replay then to see Bird's first elbow?

    I don't think that was Bird. He wore 33 his whole career. And Bird wouldn't have been that stupid.

    I couldn't see the name, but it was definitely not the old C Bags jerseys.

    Kareem was a tough mudder. You couldn't mess around on him or really most of those guys from the 70s and 80s. Heck there were still tougher guys even in the 90s and early 00s. That breed 100% died with Kobe.

    KAJ broke his hand. Missed two months. No suspension. He also broke Benson's jaw.

    We all reminisce on how much grittier the NBA used to be, but it's probably a good thing that guys don't get punched out anymore.

    I'd imagine you'd have to have some coordination to be the most successful basketball player in history.

    I'd assume Einstein has above average intelligence as well.
