LeBron and Durant Workout: Part 2

November 17, 2011 – Kevin Burke

Last week we brought you footage of LeBron and KD working out together in Akron. With no end to the lockout in sight, these guys still find it important to keep themselves in the best possible shape. No wonder they’re as good as they are. It appears as if this new one was shot the day after their first video, so keep that in mind.

This video shows them doing some conditioning in the pool in order to strengthen their legs. Then they take it to the court to do some shooting drills. I have always thought that for a guy who poses a mismatch virtually every trip down the court, Kevin Durant settles for too many threes. He’s a decent shooter but I felt as if that was his first option too often. But by the looks of this video, he has improved his outside shot. Also, LeBron has never necessarily been a strong three-point shooter. But take a look here and you can see that he looks more comfortable shooting the rock from outside. Looks like he has improved in that area as well.
