I have been reading how modern training mixes in bicycle and pool work to get the muscles strong while sparing the joints. More emphasis on recovery than in the past.The Ball brother's dad apparently had them doing sprints up rather steep hills, several days a week from their early childhood, all the way through starting college.
The work ethic that takes is impressive but it also appears to have leveled a devastating toll on these dude's leg joints.
It’s why we wore high tops back in those days.I know ankles are critical. When I started playing Bball as a kid I kept twisting my ankles all the time. I had to do tons of calf raises to stop that from happening. Cutting, jumping, landing, changing directions, all at high speed are all ankle breakers. IDK how he's going to overcome all the ankle injuries he's had. Skeptical of the braces. I wish him the best.
High tops don't really work. I had a 90 degree separation playing ball in high tops. First thing my physical therapist told me is high tops were marketing hype. The majority of high tops wouldn't prevent the ankle from buckling and recommended wearing ankle supports when playing ball.It’s why we wore high tops back in those days.
Ha! I didn't say they WORKED. I said that why we wore them. We certainly THOUGHT they worked.High tops don't really work. I had a 90 degree separation playing ball in high tops.

Yep, it was excepted as a truth when we were young.Ha! I didn't say they WORKED. I said that why we wore them. We certainly THOUGHT they worked.

Have broken my right ankle 5 times this way.I still rolled by ankle at least once a season, usually landing on someones foot after a rebound

You guys should have seen my shot. It was pure. Guard me too close, I'd go by you.Yep, it was excepted as a truth when we were young.
By all means, demand whatever you want. You are only worth what the highest bidder will give you. No way he gets offered the max. Who will be dumb enough. Not even the Wizards.Things are out of control when guys like Kuminga are demanding full max contracts. Dude last season averaged 16.2 PPG, 2.2 Assists, 3.9 Rebounds, shot 52.9% from the field, and 32% from 3. He had a decent year last year but he has to do much better than that this year to justify that contract. No way is he worth a max contract right now.
Well probably not but he is improving quite quickly. There are worse guys getting the max than him.Things are out of control when guys like Kuminga are demanding full max contracts.

Jonathan Kuminga's contract demands revealed
Jonathan Kuminga was a breakout star for the Golden State Warriors last season. The explosive forward emerged as a vital piece of the rotation and showcased All-Star level upside. As such, he earned himself a spot in the starting linesports.yahoo.com

He was close to the natural dynamo that Amare was. He would have ended up one of the best offensive players of all time, IMO. And if they ever got him a coach that stressed D, he could have been at least solid there as well.Suns history. Would you take pre-injury Antonio McDyess or pre-injury Amare Stoudemire, who was for all intense and purposes a replacement for McDyess? I would certainly take pre-injury McDyess, because he could play defense and was no slouch offensively. A more balanced player and probably as good an athlete as Stoudemire.
