  6. Kobe decides against Regenokine knee surgery EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Kobe Bryant raved about how improved his right knee felt last season after visiting Germany to undergo Regenokine surgery. As effective as the treatment might have been, the Los Angeles Lakers star decided a repeat procedure was not necessary heading into 2012-13. "No," Bryant said when asked if he visited Dr. Peter Wehling, the doctor responsible for the innovative blood manipulation technique, this past offseason. "I was a little busy." Bryant had a full schedule this summer, winning the gold medal with USA Basketball at the Olympics in London before touring China for several weeks fulfilling sponsor obligations. When asked if Bryant planned to have the treatment done in the future, he responded, "What, like I'll fly to Germany during the season? ... No, I think I'll be fine." The news comes as a bit of a surprise, as Lakers trainer Gary Vitti told the Lakers official team website in June that Bryant would indeed visit Dr. Wehling when his schedule allowed for it surrounding the Olympics. While Bryant, 34, enters his 17th season having logged close to 60,000 career minutes in the regular season and playoffs combined, the Lakers star claims that a full Olympic workload over the summer actually has him more prepared to start the season. Bryant endured a similar summer in 2008, winning the gold in Beijing before playing well into June the following season and winning the championship against the Orlando Magic. "I think what that summer did was put me in game shape right from the beginning," Bryant said. "That's really what it did. Sometimes it's harder if you have the summer off and you get out of shape and it takes more toll on your body to actually get back into shape, as opposed to never really being out of shape and you just kind of pick right up and you're already at that level. So, it's already a little less strenuous." Full Story

  9. Will 'octoberGR8NESS' become 'novemberGR8NESS' and so on..? (Just aksing).

  10. Yeah, there are some studies which show that people who work at night get old more quickly (than ppl working during the day).
  11. That's 3 weeks counting from Season Opener. It's not that bad. I hope he doesn't cut it...
  12. It used to be from 11 PM to 7:20 AM, but the guys were always coming late so I had to stay till 7:40-7:45. <_< And apart from feeling tired, I think the worst part is that you still have to do things in the morning 'cause the world ain't made for folks who work at night. <_< For example, the banks are only open from 10 to 4. What time is your night shift?
  13. Good read: http://www.clipsnation.com/2012/9/29/3430974/clippers-open-training-camp-first-impressions
  14. PLAYA VISTA, Calif. – While the national and local media descended upon the Los Angeles Lakers practice facility five miles away in El Segundo for their media day, the Los Angeles Clippers quietly went through their fifth practice of training camp and are already beginning to see signs of what could eventually become the best bench and the best second unit in the NBA this season. During the off-season the Clippers were aggressive in shoring up their bench and signing a veteran presence at every position. They picked up former Sixth Man of the Year award winners Lamar Odom and Jamal Crawford, seven-time All-Star Grant Hill, as well as Matt Barnes, Ronny Turiaf, Willie Green and Ryan Hollins. “We have some guys that understand how to play,” Hill said Monday after practice. “It’s a new environment for all of us but the concepts we’ve kind of seen them all before and done it all before. For a team that has a bunch of new faces and a unit that is playing together for the first time, it’s going better than I thought at this point. We all know each others’ games but getting a grasp of what the coach is throwing at us and learning on the fly, it’s pretty good. It’ll get better, but I like where we are right now.” Hill and Odom are already getting a sense of where the other will be on the court when the second unit comes into the game. They’re not quite at mid-season form but they’re certainly further along than mid-training camp form after only a couple of practices. “There was a couple of plays out there when me, Grant, Ronny, Matt Barnes and Willie Green, we just read each other and were able to make plays,” Odom said. “I hit Grant going back door and Matt and me and Ronny had a couple of plays in there. This team has a high IQ.” The player who will end up leading the Clippers’ veteran second unit once the season begins is 22-year-old point guard Eric Bledsoe, who is entering his third season in the league. Bledsoe, who will be the Clippers’ starting point guard during the preseason while Chris Paul recovers from thumb surgery, took a massive step in his development during the playoffs. He went from 3.3 points, 1.6 assists and 1.6 rebounds in the regular season to 7.9 points, 2.1 assists and 2.4 rebounds during the postseason. “I really like Bledsoe,” Hill said. “I like his ability to attack the screen and roll, his decision making, we all know he’s a great athlete but he looks like he’s put in a lot of time working on his game this offseason. I’ve been impressed with his decision making and his talent level.” As talented as Bledsoe is, the question is whether veterans like Hill, who turns 40 on Friday, take direction from Bledsoe when he’s running the second unit this season? “It’ll just come from playing together and developing that trust,” Hill said. “We’ve only been on the court three days. He was with the first unit because Chris (Paul) is out. We’re all shooting for the same thing. We want the same thing. Even though he’s almost half my age I can take some criticism from Bledsoe but he’s got to take it from me too.” Full Story
  15. ..and the main color. Not sayin' they don't. Just pointing out the lack of creativity.
  16. Do you find it difficult to to fall asleep immediately after work? And do you usually have a big breakfast when you finish work? Do you find it difficult to stay awake? I do, especially between 4:30 and 6 AM. That's the worst time! Gotta make a real effort to stay awake.
  17. Was just about to post it, along with these lines: BOOM! The NFL's first 4 weeks have produced 3,633 points. https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s480x480/399599_449986271714801_1395082439_n.jpg This is the most ever.
