51% on jump shots and only 67% on layups? :lol

Warriors can't play Yesterday's Nba on nightly basis. Whipped Grizzlies and Thunder, Bully ball and ISO ball back to back nights.Yesterday they ran into superior Today's Nba.
Have you guys read this story about Jokic. SAGirl orginally posted the link http://www.si.com/nba/2017/02/08/nik...-darko-milicic
I'm amazed that he's been able to turn it all around after reading that article. Being out of shape may have turned his whole career around as he was supposed to sign with FC Barcelona, but they changed their minds after watching him in a game (the deal was supposedly agreed upon, but he was so poor in a game they came to watch, and so out of shape, they changed their minds). He might of still been in Europe and possibly never even come to the NBA if he stayed there.
Here's a quote from his agent in that article “In the end, Arturas is the guy who convinced us to change our strategy,” Raznatovic remembers. “Arturas said, ‘His skills are not in doubt. It’s his body. Where will he have a better chance to improve his body, in the NBA or in the Euroleague?’”
If he had of stayed in Europe, he may never have improved his body enough to come to the NBA IMO. He may not have changed his diet or habits enough. So being out of shape, may have actually helped him get to the NBA and get to this point.
I've been watching him play lately, and on offense, he's a pretty amazing passer/player. I can see why most/all of his Nuggets teammates want their court time with him on the floor. If you're open, he'll get you the ball.
Why would getting to the fattest country in the World help him get thinner, tbh? :lol
It's still amazing how good Sabonis was when he "washed up" on the Trail Blazers.
I'm pretty sure the NBA has decent trainers. Staying around and home isn't likely to break bad habits. What ever happened to guys like that Greek Shaq? He seemed to have eaten himself out of a promising NBA career.Quote:
