Also Allen Iverson loves practices... so... yeah... that's why he's a potential HOFer.

You can't possibly believe AI didn't devote countless hours to perfecting his craft. He just rolled out of bed an all-time great?

With all the serious posts in this thread, my contribution wasn't meant to be 100% serious... it was more tongue in cheek..


Of course practices are important, but it's not 99%.

Speaking of pygmies, keep going Eenie-Meenie on this one. You seem to have a penchant recently for mouth breathing.

I don't want to distract you from laying into the right people. Please continue. I'm being 100% serious here. I made Roach meltdown the other day, and I need help poking the bees' nest.

Don't think you can compare swimming to basketball. In swimming you're effectively competing against the time set by someone else. You don't need to train against good competition or have that person swim next to you, you simply just have to 'beat that time'.


In basketball though if you train against Steve Blake how can you say you can be as good or ever better if you were to train everyday against Chris Paul?

Players develop 99% in practice and 1% on the court, so the injury/pt is pretty much irrelevant outside building trade value.

Except thatQuin just said they don't really have time to practice anymore and that shoot arounds were as close of a thing to practice they have now.

I know practice time is limited but I find this to be a bit weak of an excuse. Every year players and teams improve their games and chemistry. In-season too. We aren't.

I think you cam compare them. Swimmers, race horses, and basketball players are not robots. They all love to compete. The best ones do anyway. Without competition when it counts, there is no fire at shoot around. Game time and post time counts more than practice.
 
The whole 99% thing that Frank posted is one of the dumbest posts ever

Noah's Ark and the flood were real, bro. GL clinging to your mystical ideals. PT was all that mattered to MJ, Kobe, Malone, all the greats. They never practiced their asses off. It was all about climbing on your mythical Ark.
