Every third day or so, there’s a tiny glimmer of hope that the lockout will be lifted. But in actuality, who knows just how close that day really is. As we know, that certainly hasn’t stopped players from playing in Pro-Am and charity games. It also hasn’t stopped guys from working out to ensure that they are in shape for if/when the season starts. If by some miracle, the lockout is resolved relatively soon, training camp will probably only be a week-and-a-half or so, so guys better be putting in work now.
There’s no doubt that guys will return out of shape, but you can remove LeBron James and Kevin Durant from that list. These two have been working out together in Akron in preparation for the season. Even though KD is a two-time scoring champ and LeBron is a two-time MVP, there’s always something that every player can improve on. Durant has been criticized for being too skinny and LeBron for needing to develop his post-game. Check out this video of them working out together. It says alot that two of the best players in the world still work this hard.
