Anthony Davis Discussion: Only Player On Both All NBA + All Def

That was the time when black mask did not matter

 

I had a general curiosity regarding AD.

Should he be healed up for his Achilles/groin injury from the end of season by now? Well enough to train and develop preventive measures from these injuries from recurring next season?

 

yeah, we heard he got a new trainer, but is he 100% yet?

 

I bet he's skinny fat, zero conditioning work and probably never hit the gym...

 

yeah, he took it off himself because it wasn't comfortable and he was struggling

 

Did he turn Hollywood and change his brow tho?

 

I like the stealth mode. He talked a lot last offseason but then looked out of shape to start.

 

Does he even do that stuff? I mean posting workout pics and vids of himself. Not like I do Twitter or any of that stuff, but I don’t remember seeing too much self-promotion stuff from him. I read he’s pretty private, so that may explain things. Dunno

 

I don't think LeBron would allow him to not be working out

 

He is the anti DAngelo Russell, who was in the gym only to take selfies..AD is actually doing work

 

I don't know for sure but I would be willing to bet that LeBron has helped shape his workout and nutrition routines to better serve him. Players evolve if they really want it that bad and I think some players get a bad wrap for not being outspoken like Kobe or MJ that they're not working hard day in and out. Anyone who believes AD doesn't work hard to be better is either a fool or doesn't know what they're talking about. There's always room for improvement in regards to how you prepare yourself.

Also on a side note just because he isn't a social media darling and posting what he eats every 5 minutes doesn't mean he's not taking the necessary steps to get his body ready, his mind and working in the gym to improve his game. Some guys just aren't putting their entire lives on social media for approval and I for one can respect and appreciate that.

Also this post isn't directed at you Kareem, just kind of adding on to what you were saying

 

I hope he's fully recovered and ready to go. The only thing I've seen recently on AD, was the video of him and Schroder at the gymn. One of these guys, Stein or somebody else stated that AD hadn't starting doing on court work yet. I think it was due to the groin injury tho. Guys are putting in the work full steam right now, training camp kicks off in a month. If there are any lingering health concerns, we will start hearing about it then.

 

I remember seeing that too, something about AD either not doing any on court stuff, or any serious gym work. Something like that. I think it was maybe 2-3 weeks after our season ended.

Fine, whatever, let the dude heal and recover, but I’d bet he’s ramping up pretty good now in late August.

 

Rumor is he got drunk and friends shaved his unibrow off while he slept.

he’s letting it grow back in complete privacy while he directs his anger into his training.

we should see a fit and focused AD this year.

 

Understandable. Dennis was a terrible floor general. Great 6th man, but he thought he was something he's not and we tried it out.

From strictly a floor general perspective, I'll take a 55 year old Rondo over Dennis in his prime... whenever that is

 

55 is the new 52?
