    "Getting the Green Light

    It all started with a little green light.

    On the first night of the NBA's summer league in Las Vegas, the San Antonio Spurs played the Charlotte Bobcats. As Spurs center Aron Baynes prepared to inbound the ball from the baseline, a small green light was visible, blinking steadily through the white mesh of his jersey.

    First question: Is he a cyborg?

    Second, more sensible question: Is that the biometric monitoring the Spurs have used in the D-League?

    A stroll behind the bench confirmed every Spur had a small bulge, just between the shoulder blades, blinking green.

    Fascinating. Mysterious. And as it turns out, loaded with potential: It's part of a system that has led to a huge reductions in injury, and dramatic improvements in performance, in a professional league half a world away.

    For a small market team, the spurs have been on the leading edge of data/technology integration for years. Not surprised by this latest foray at all.

    Very cool story, thanks for sharing.

    Do they have a device that shocks a player when they commit a turnover, tbh?

    Before reading, I thought it was just going to be about the technology of playing your guys barely any minutes . Spurs players have to be tops in per minute pay in the NBA (outside of guys who get injured and miss full seasons..).

    Poor Manu. He would spend half of his time on the floor twitching in agony.

    Haha. Unfortunately, many posters here would want the device to be housed in the jock.

    That might work on Manu, but it will have little effect on guys like Splitter.

    Damn, if only we signed Oden -- would have had a great 'Six Million Dollar Man' thing going on.

    This just seals the deal -- Oden won't be coming.

    The last thing he wants is a place where he won't be injured.

    That other dude is Gerard Pique and married to Shakira.
    The tech is revolutionary. We would measure things like leg strength or range of motion and flexibility. But not like this. Smart tech is so right.
