its like this breh
if im in school and i got a lab partner we both good students but my partner is one of the greatest students of all time getting a pluses left and right yet i try to be the leader of our assignments i hinder him and we get a mark below our expectations. I decide to fall back to let my partners talents flourish, ride the coattails and assist when needed we get multiple A pluses. yet In the process my scientific mind is breaking down as alack of mental conditioning and complacency, when my partner begins to cramp in the final exam ive shut my brain down for so long that it becomes difficult for me to produce at a high level
so the following semester my partner ditches me and i get stuck with a capable but less talented lab partner, i now know there is mad work to be done i prepare intensely and perform better than i ve done for years
That's a great analogy...
But this is a 32 yr old with messed up knees and questionable conditioning...
nikka missed over 20 games and was still gassed in the playoffs...
I can see that from Greg Oden, but not a nikka like Wade breh...
You don't regain top notch basketball conditioning in 1 offseason...
Now that he cant afford to miss games, that nikka might be gassed by the all star break
