Verizon 5G Performance Center

Read on Twitter


Some cool pictures and details I haven’t seen before here. Top of the line facility for sure, have to think it helps in FA and stuff.

Looks like one of the courts is not wide enough....weird

Edit: oh weird I actually think there are two lines. A regular nba three point line and then another line that isn't on regular courts. Maybe. I can't tell. Perhaps they added their own 4 point line haha

I used to work a half mile from there and hiked Camelback mountain a lot which is right behind it. I wonder how often they hike it for a workout. It's a nice workout especially when the weather is nice.

It's a very nice hike but BEYOND crowded. Doubt they could make it up without being accosted throughout the whole hike

Yeah, for me it depended on when I went, but maybe more crowded now. If I went after work, not nearly as crowded as on the weekend, and if I went before work, at like 6, it was not crowded at all.

Good point. I forget that it's an NBA player's job to workout and stay fit, and that hiking during a workday is an option for them, unlike for me haha
