Have also been reading the Kelly Starrett book Ready to Run the last few days.

Is it a good read?

haha I've been "friends" with Max for quite a while, us two being huge VC fans for years... his mixes are always amazing.

As for the Karaoke, that was the song that was played during the TV broadcast of his game vs Utah, during the halftime break etc.

thanks raptor.

also, adarq, meta comment: youtube vids have been acting up on the forum for the last few days. either not loading, or only loading once and freezing when i try to replay them.

Yeah, here too.

Btw, at work when I try to reply, the youtube button on this server is gone. It's not a part of the reply interface, lol. Only at home it appears.

So, then i'd have to code those out in haskell AND purescript while blood squirts furiously from my eyeballs.

(or fuck it, smack it like you're blocking someone, sounds fun) when it's up near the rim.

Great advice, something I haven't considered. I suck at throwing self lobs (although my court is terrible, it has these squares that at their junction have raises corners and when the ball hits the ground it moves in unpredictable directions making throwing accurate lobs impossible).

We should make a thread about this.

Since this was "Kobe's retirement song" somehow, I did a sample cover on it:

I don't get videos like this... Why perform some exercise in a strange way to make it impressive.  I mean he is doing standing broad jumps.  It's not an endurance exercise and they way he is performing it shouldn't cause fatigue.  The standing broad jump is already measurable.  Just do a standing broad jump.   It's like listing them sum of your vertical when you get 3 jumps.... Yah cool but what's your top vertical jump???

Additonlly he gets to slip forward slightly and because we measure toe heel he basically gets a one foot length advantage for two jumps which makes it less impressive.  Multiple broad jumps take reactivity and require a shorter landing to facilitate it.  Standing broad jump does not. 3 broad jumps are just a sneaky way to do a broad jump

Exactly. Initially when I used to do 2-leg bounds (or 2-leg consecutive broad jumps, in my case) I'd be like wow look how much I gained due to reactivity! when in fact it was the 1-foot added for each bound (it didn't take me too long to figure it out, though).
