Part of AI getting banged up so much is he didn't take strength and conditioning serious at all when playing and he's already said that's probably the main regret he has from his career, that he never really went into the weight room to get himself into great shape



I wonder if Anthony Davis is the same way.

very few ppl, if any, on the coli would train the way kobe did. if put in the same position as A.I, You are partying, fukkin hoes, and spending money on dumb shyt. especially at that young of an age. also, ai had more natural talent than Bean.

MJ had the ability to do both, so he was good.

kobe essentially lived a boring overall life compared to AI. Ppl forget basketball is just a job at the end of da day, and when most ppl finish their job they go out and party and are back at work again for 9am.

nothing wrong with either life style. Even if iverson trained harder, he wasn't winning any rings in that era.
There's a middle ground. You may not work like Kobe but this is just excuses for AI.
Is there an example of a guy known not to put the work in that became a champion(as the main guy)?

Shaq
AI worked on his game in the offseason. He may not have gone extremely hard, but to think he didn't practice at all during summer is crazy. He used to be in the gym with the Philly boys like 3-4x a week. It's similar to those legendady Jordan Chi-Town runs.

As for weights, they wanted AI to bulk up. I think that would've completely changed his game and hindered his effectiveness.

And Shaq didn't completely stop working in the off season until after his second chip.

Kobe was obsessed, so there were few that worked like him.

"Being in the gym" sounds like what Dahntay was already talking about, coming to the scrimmages and lighting niqqas up off of no work.

I don't think weights would hinder AI's game, taking your quickness from 100 to 97 while gaining strength and durability isn't a hinderance.

Shaq didn't have to completely stop working to be known as a guy whose work ethic was far behind his God given talent.

I know this about Kobe which why I said there's a middle ground between him and the AI/Shaq-type talents.
