Today’s players are out of shape: We practiced 5 on 5 and did drills every day- building more endurance. 2. They do more individual training at slower speeds for 30 minutes, then try to play a full-speed 2 hour game. Our training was at game speed and much longer- building resistance and endurance. 3. In the summer, we played 5 on 5 basketball for 7 hours a day. They do individual work every day for just 30 minutes.. 4. KG says he would train and absolutely kill his body so that when the games started, they felt easy and his legs wouldn’t give out in the middle. Guys don’t train like that anymore. 5. Pierce says it was much tougher to play back then because you couldn’t just switch, you got hit a lot more, and the game was way more physical. He even argues you ran more since you had to tag your defender and fight through screens. Now you just switch. 6. Pierce says guys don’t play more than 75 games today because they’re not as tough as they were in his era. 7. Danny Green says they run more miles today and deal with more tendon issues. PP responds that it’s because they don’t have endurance- they don’t practice at game speed every day. Danny Green agrees. Masterful response from KG and Pierce. This is why they SONNED Bron and made him call Wade to join him. Different mentality. They didn’t make excuses they trained HARDER 👊 Miss me with them weak excuses Bron Bron ✌️
