    I am glad he is working on his health and game though.

    Wait. This means he was doing absolutely nothing the previous years, right?
    He would cry after a week under Kobe... or even Bron.

    I'll be lighting up some candles and throwing a few hail Mary's for AD. I'd like him to get back to all NBA form so the Lakers can get through this next season and start building a team with him being the center piece.

    Completely agree. He’s the key to everything and it’s time for him to really embrace bring the main guy for us.

    He'd probably cry after 2 weeks of your scheduled leg days.

    Giannis will throw that slow motion jumper in the 5th row.

    How scary is it to know our season is dependent upon AD's health? Or even Lebron's health. Even scarier is that we are dependent upon both of them staying healthy. I feel more confident of that happening with a younger more athletic squad and Ham as coach but still I'm not sure the odds are in our favor. I guess I would favor Lebron and AD being healthy over Leonard and George.

    If he doesn’t play like a top 5 level player we are not going to be competitive this year. They gave him some Thomas Bryant and Damian Jones, it’s on him and LBJ to make it work

    of course AD should be practicing a move at midcourt to dribble into a slow-release three, as this is what happens in nba games for pfs?

    i want to see him catching and quick releasing a zillion corner threes.

    it's scary, but it's the same issue many of the top teams have, too, tbh:

    clips (kawhi and PG are notoriously unavailable)
    phx (cp3 pretty much always breaks down)
    bkn (durant and kyrie miss a lot of time)
    philly (embiid just played his first healthy season)
    gs (curry is often worn down even if he doesn't get hurt, thompson)


    really, only giannis and jokic are iron men superstars right now. luka's close, but he tends to need a month to ramp up a la harden (jokic does this a bit, too, tbh).

    the least-injured young stars aren't really superstars (e.g., tatum, booker).

    tl;dr: most contending teams have to pin their hopes on questionably available stars.

    Yeah but most other teams don't have more "superstars" ready and waiting, like the Lakers to come to L.A., after we run the current ones out of town.

    I think I saw somewhere that the lethal shooter guy gets his clients to slow up their shot to focus on hitting each point consistently every time. Then they slowly speed the shot up when muscle memory is doing it’s thing.

    It’ll be interesting to see what happens. AD could kind of shoot a bit his whole career, until he couldn’t.

    I'm sure he claims to have spent time with Max Payne and Neo in the Himalayas, mastering bullet time.

    10 years into his NBA career and this guy still thinks he can shoot the 3. Dude, Russ Westbrook smoked you from 3 last year. We are looking to oust him for that and other things. I assume this is one of those things, like how he thinks he can sing too and no one will stand up to him and tell him to hang it up.

    AD was 3rd worst in the NBA of players with only 3+ three-pointers attempted total (he attempted far more, almost 2 a game). At only 2 or so attempts a game it's not that much damage but the point is why do it at all? You suck. Horribly.

    This LethalShooter guy f***ing sucks. I bet i could do his job for 1/3 the money with similar or better results.
    Besides, why does NBA vet need a shooting coach. Just ask around if you don't know what you're doing.
    Im too old for this s***...
