Well age for one. Secondly, bad nutrition (he doesn't give too much attention to nutrition from his current bodyfat%). And thirdly, Vince was never (with the exception of his youth (up to 26 years old)) a strength gym guy. He used to train with an NFL friend in 2000, I guess that explained a lot at that time.

He worked with the Magic trainers this past year to get his SVJ up to 31 inches, and squatted and did lunges (no idea of the weights used).

Also, with the bone/cartilage degeneration and injuries and age, you get "less playful" and jump less than in the past which diminishes your reactive/elastic abilities.

Look at his plant here:

He basically bended at the knees, pretty much no hip bend, no rotation on the plant, no low center of gravity for proper "loading", no nothing.

I'm not disputing age, I don't care about age - what I care about is how an individual that had a certain plant style in the past didn't have that plant style here^^^

He did plant like in the old days (though not as low) in here:

I love how he plants that right leg and rotates on it, "throwing" his left leg into the ground. Whenever I did that in real life I definitely got higher. I load much better doing that than with a "linear" approach.

He answered my tweet. Apparently he can full squat 170 kg at 60 kg bodyweight. I mean wtf?

EDIT: He meant lbs, which is 80 kg full squat and he probably meant 160 lbs bodyweight. Also, 188 lbs half squat. Imagine if he would get stronger to realize what his real ceiling is. Sotomayor was heavier but he was doing 160 kg snatches and had a 3x+ half squat.

Nice post raptor, Durant got outplayed badly at the end though, that's 3 years ago though and it's still amazing how effortlessly he gets to the rim @ 7 foot.

My turn, one of my favourite performances ever, dude was absolutely zonin', never seen Stockton get his ass handed to him this bad:

I liked when he didn't want to salute the USA antemn and flag. Guts!

Haha, so light looking. Wonder how much he weighs and how much he squats/stepups.

Looking strong and good form ^^^
