i'm not the type of guy to give ppl high praise.... ive trashed mj, lebron , rwestbrook, and harden before.....

But Ben Simmons is the sickest player to come to the scene since...... i dunno lebron?

the only con of his game..... is his lack of wingspan/reach in comparison to his height.... this may be a slight disadvantage to a ball handler because ur hands aren't as low to the ground.....

vegas has a pre season mvp odds bets.... i bet they'll give ben simmons like 200-1 payouts or something sick.... im going to bet it every year and might hit sooner or later

anyone also think that a shorter wingspan/reach can be a slight advantage for shooting?

Bingo! i think you are totally right, but too short of wingspan is also bad.... like jj barea.  that is why KD is so impressive with his accuracy.....

me and u need to discuss bball for real.... i love to chat with sharp bball minds....

haha thanks. yea, off the top of my head, i picture jj barea with pretty short arms. he might be the only NBA player who i have a longer wingspan than. the shortest players that i searched up, kay felder, isaiah thomas, and tyler ulis all have longer wingspans than me by 1 or 2 inches lol (i'm 6 ft wingspan).

have learned how this whole training thing is more of a marathon than it is a sprint. but at the same time, i've recently also realized how finite our time is with our training careers(and to an extent, our time in life). so for me, think i'm gonna step it up a notch as i've been really more so been going through the motions as of late with my jumping sessions. also definitely need to get back in the gym ASAP.

i see, nice. seems like the squat does a lot for the VJ. but yea, remember seeing a clip of you dunking 2 handed off a standstill and that was pretty crazy

hmm, i actually kinda like going up with my left hand off RL. basically just a mirrored LR right hand plant lol. definitely never gonna change plants ever again though now lol.

For discussion: easier to change plants or change hands?

"plant probably, but not easier to jump as high when changing your plant - I think actually doing it doesn't feel that bad though for most people, so initially they may go "I can do this!!" then months later you see they still can't get up in that plant

Changing hands is easier from the perspective of actually landing dunks, if the vert is the same.

If you look at it from the perspective of someone short with a low reach, who needs a serious vert to dunk, changing hands seems 1000x easier than changing plant, in my humble opinion.

peace!!"


damn i can relate with that so much. tried to switch from RL->LR completely twice. overall put in almost a year's time with the LR plant, but yes, i was never be able to get up with it. it also just feels weaker because my right leg is stronger than my left too.

but yea, off two feet, am going full RL for the rest of my dunking career. in terms of switching hands btw, do you think there is much incentive to go lefty?

left hk, hope to be back next year. thanks for the location though. went several times, think it took about an hour each time by MTR. my last session there i struggled the most, was barely able to get 1 hand dunks off the dribble on the 9'6.5. hopefully next year when i get back will be able to dunk off the dribble 2 hands on the 9'6.5.

nice attempts on rim 3 though. can you do a 2 hander on rim 1 btw?

just got back home yesterday. went for some dunks on my 9 ft hoop and barely was able to land off the dribble lol. am wondering whats going on, i feel like im grounded or something lol. probably the 14 hour flight has to have something to do with it though, and also feeling a bit sick.

Sounds good. Yea, was guessing that the best plyo for the SLRVJ is the SLRVJ too lol
