Damn, nice plant if you pause it after the penultimate.

bow down, weaklings.

Well,I guess that fat lady just sang.

(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).

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).

i was gonna say, those would be pretty beastly throws. but no, my understanding is that you measure from the point of first contact with the ground.

I can't believe we're actually talking about this completely obvious thing.

Yeah, they're your secret weapon. It's basically what was missing for you to get really athletic and healthy. You will see their positive effects in the future.
