Random NBA Observations 2022 - 2023

If that surgeon is right in the reply then this seems really fukking dumb and nobody is learning their lesson:


Dude was icing his shins last year, put on a ton of weight real fast, now they're talking about surgery/longterm implications and still no rest?

Crazy how he put on more weight when he was already one of the bigger guards. I don't know who was in dude's head this offseason though because even before the injury, he looked worse than last year.

he's vegan as well which is possibly not helping

he's vegan as well which is possibly not helping

From what I understand the vegan diet is great for preventing injuries: CP3 went vegan and the whole TB12 system is practically centered around being vegan. It's supposed to make you more pliable.

However, people are saying vegan diets tend to have weaker bones (I'm not 100% on the accuracy of this statement). I'm pretty sure supplementing more calcium will be a big thing going forward? It'll be interesting to know if he's abstained from drinking milk because of his diet/lifestyle.

That said, there players like Luka who was playing professional ball since he was 15 and pound beer, vodka and smokes cigarettes before games with no injury history outside of a freak accident.

Luka drinks and smokes before games?

KPJ is Oubre status
Gordon is a good bench guy, not the same player at 34
Jabari forgot how to shoot as a shooter
Martin Jr. is a good bench guy, not a starter

Outside of Green and Sengun, it's

Well that sucks. Is Maxey still out as well? No stars/key players for the Sixers in Ben's return to Philly.

 

[SchoolboyC]

I was gonna say they might as well flex that Nets-Philly game out for Kings-Grizzlies but then I remembered Ja & Bane out too

Yup. Did during the recent European League games.

"Doncic, the top player of the Slovenians, who were staying in the same hotel as the Germans, also spent the evening before the game quite relaxed. He sat away from the hustle and bustle, playing cards, drinking Coke and smoking a cigarette."

Luka Doncic Was Reportedly Playing Cards, Drinking Coke, And Smoking Cigarettes Before Slovenia's Loss To Germany

Luka Doncic might be just 23 years old, but the Dallas Mavericks superstar has already been to the Western Conference Finals. Although he was unable to carry the Mavs to the NBA Finals, it was still a great effort against a team of the Golden State Warriors' caliber.

Hookah Doncic nickname didn't come from nowhere
People have taken pictures of him drinking beers on gameday too I think

Going back to the last Olympics, that Slovenian team as on one in Olympic Village during their poker nights.

Funny thing is, I've read in so many places all these "fancy nutritionists" and chefs these players have but so many of them have bad habits or neglect the diets. At the same time, many of the top-tier foods they get really aren't that much of an improvement over regular people foods/diets. End of the day, they're kids.
