    6:07 as a former D1 athlete, the weights do help but if you injury prone or just have bad luck,

      I thought his take was so stupid. Resistance training is resistance training. Whether you use pulleys or weights or bands your muscles don't know the difference it just knows it's under load. The only thing that's different about free weights is that your body has to stabilize you using other muscles.

      ironically, it makes them worse basketball players too. AAU is not at all focused on team basketball or fundamentals. it's focused on breeding individual talent that is impressive to scouts which becomes less and less useful the higher up you go on the basketball ladder. it's basically just a money grab that exploits kids at this point and makes players who are worse and more injury prone at the NBA level.

    I used to Olympic lift, and at some point I started throwing in bodybuilding and basketball for this exact same reason. I was getting injured all the time because I was constantly doing the same motions. Even though those other practices didn't do much to make me a better oly lifter, they did help strengthen my body in more comprehensive ways, which in turn helped to reduce the incidence of injury

    I can't help but look back in 2015 at Delly having to guard Curry, and literally getting hospitalized for exhaustion. I mean it's just a more intensive game now. You have more freak of nature players and a faster pace. Giannis being that big and strong could injure himself because he's at the limits of the human body, and not only that, bro literally knocked a dude's teeth out the other day.

    The problem with Grovers weight lifting take is that athletes never stopped doing impact workouts - in fact, they increased those. For legs, both lateral explosion and landing. So the muscles definitely are trained for that. Every player does leg press. There's no wire training substitute for that

  • @5cottjohnson
    @5cottjohnson Год назад +2

    jxmy is kind of right but leaves out a key detail. lets start w the ball brothers, who since they were born have been practicing basketball, and lavar has made that very clear. doing those repetitive movements are gonna make the muscles and joints being used much stronger, however it will speed up the wear and tear process because only those parts of the body are being used over and over again. how does a sports scientist suggest to combat this? having them in multiple sports. doing this uses other muscles that wouldn't get used as much in basketball and overall balances out the wear and tear, instead of hyper-focusing on areas like the knees and shit like that. lebron played football in hs, which definitely uses a different set of muscles, and giannis played soccer until he was 14-15, which is why he be moving like hakeem (who also played soccer).

    @milk__teee Год назад +1

    Ligament and joints being overused is a serious concern. Many pro athletes tend to not do squat too much or too often because of destroying the collagen in their knees. Also imagine another team in the league. Teams have to play another team on top of 82 games a season. The NBA is probably also trying to find the cause of this for monetary purposes. They need the big stars on the playing most of the time, and if more players are getting injured especially the younger talented players then revenues will probably go down and more ads might be played. Well I hope the nba by themselves are tryna figure this out, star players is what the nba is and has been about forever.
    Also blaming load management is actually crazy, load management legitimately helps players not get injured -kawhi 2019 is the best example. The problem is that everybody is load managing so people think it’s ruining their bodies, but that’s not how it works, there were successful cases of load management decreasing the potential for injury so every team adapted it.
    Also just look at Kobe for a case of playing too much and working out too much without rest, he’s probably had some of the worst injuries a basketball player could have and it’s probably due to if true, him working out all the time and getting only a couple hours of sleep each night. No matter who you are or how amazing your body is, you need rest, Kobe should’ve rested far more throughout his career-maybe not 20-25 games, but maybe he should’ve got more sleep, and rested a game or two each season once he turned 28, or during any season where his team was just absolute dookie and he couldn’t do anything about it. His Achilles tendon injury was definitely due too much stress and over exertion throughout his career. Players and teams will definitely have to find a middle ground with this, since the nba doesn’t want players sitting out all the time, but no one wants a player to over exert themselves and end up injured for 2 months.

    When it comes to preventing injuries there is a lot that goes into it there is the Steph Curry approach where early in his career he had an ankle problem so he trained everything above the ankle so that way he had more support,
    And the logic behind weightlifting is as said in the video which when doing a bench press or a deadlift or a squat is the repetitive jolting and the jostling that you will receive because of the plates moving while you're doing it.

    • @shamwaw336
      @shamwaw336 Год назад

      An interesting thing about Steph's early career was how he played more of an inside game.
      The weight lifting he did helped him gain resistance/strength against vertical force, which you usually experience with rim finishers/jumpers.
      Funny enough, as high flying Anthony Edwards is, he actually doesn't go to the rim as often people would expect

    You can't have this conversation without talking about sterroids. Strong, explosive athletes with lots of joint/ tension issues? Red flags, anyone??

    Weakness, no weight training and mass, along w fast speed, is some of it.
    But-
    AAU burnout and the compiling injuries over years is killing these stars more.
    Add money and fame, that makes them sit out far more, protecting themselves. Those combined makes for half year bs "load management" plus more constant injuries. Load man means they are not at full speed and injuries happen, and then money discourages them from coming back quick.
    Its two things happening, some their fault, some the adults raising and coaching them.

    Solz the love for Kobes is two-fold: 1) the obvious (MAMBA we Stan RIP), 2) he paid the most attention to his shoes and created a balanced shoe that’s good for the fundamental game of basketball - forefoot zoom (spring forward to jump / cut / run), lightweight (Kobes are some of the lightest shoes especially when you compare shoes with similar levels of tech), the aesthetics and iconic-ness, the fact that many consider him GOAT / an inspiration. There’s a Reddit for bball shoes and the highest rated shoes (there’s a database) are the Way of Wade 10s, Kobes 5,6,8,9, GT Cut 1, Jordan 28s… Kobe was dedicated to everything he put out and his shoes reflected that. A majority of players that don’t wear them are either signed to other brands / have their own shoe or REALLY need a shoe geared towards other stuff (e.g. ALOT of bugs wear LeBrons or GT Jumps or another “big-man shoe”)
