[tsherkin]

Did you guys already see this?

Bobby Medina talks about working with Oden, Aldridge, talks about Durant, lots of different guys. Talks a bit about the Spurs and the Jazz in reference to their strength programs, etc.

great interview... I personally like this part:

Blazersedge: Speaking of Greg, there's been some talk and even some concern about how big he's gotten. Is that a concern for you or was that a non-story?

It's not a concern at all. Greg is a great worker. When he comes in here, he is very committed to being a great basketball player. We are at the stage of his rehab where he can start doing a little bit more cardiovascular activity, get into some light running. Once he gets running, he's going to lose some of that weight. We want to get him as strong as we can. We want to get him to be an animal. We want him to just dominate next year. It's been really healthy for him to see guys like Shaquille O'Neal...to see guys he's going to be going up against and see how physical it is. Every time he sees those guys it motivates him to come in here and work harder.
