Hardest Workers in the NBA? 

Post#1 » by MLSE » Fri Jun 8, 2012 4:52 am

I was having a discussion tonight with someone and was wondering RealGM's input.

We talkin' practice man. Who's the hardest working guy(s) in the NBA?

Kevin Love.
On October 31, 2009, against the Kings, a bat descended onto the court causing a stoppage of play. As the bat flew past, Ginóbili swatted the bat to the ground with his hand. He then carried the creature off the court, earning the applause of the crowd.

If he can effectively keep the weight off, then you might have a case here.

Kobe has spent more time working on basketball than the amount of sleep he has gotten in the last 16 years.

He gets 4 hours maybe 5 max. When he first came in the league he watched tape day and night. I have read articles upon articles in the last 16 years regarding his work ethic. 5am work outs, 2am workouts, scouting tapes, track days, weight lifting, skills practice etc.

He is psychopathic
