“It’s everything that most people don’t get to see. It’s the time on the recovery table, it’s the time in the weight room, it’s day in, day out,” explains Curry, who says staying hydrated with Nirvana Super Waters (which include HMB, a natural substance the company says helps individuals build and maintain lean muscle mass) has become a staple of his recovery routine. “That little bit of investment in preparing your body and your mind to perform. There’s nothing really glamorous about it. It’s extremely hard work. It gets monotonous at times and dealing with all the bumps and bruises of being an athlete, injuries that you have and all that type of stuff, it’s a grind.” “I think we motivated each other even more to however much longer we have left playing,” Curry adds of his Olympic experience with James.

Rob Jenners: You’re gonna end up paying Luka Doncic I mean insane money to try and get him out of Dallas but I don’t foresee a scenario where he leaves Dallas. Robert Horry: Do you remember we had the same scenario about two or three years ago we were talking about Giannis, like the Lakers was playing a long game to get Giannis… I think he signed that huge deal.. It’s either these Laker lovers who just trying to throw rumors out there or these people who are just sitting around just saying what insane sh*t can we say. Jenners: It’s the dumbest thing we can drum up, how about Luka Doncic to the Lakers, there you go. Robert Horry: “You got to think about this, Luka is gonna be how old in what like 31, 32? Jenners: By the time his deal’s up? Horry: Yeah. Jenners: Yeah maybe. Horry: He ain’t the best defensive player now and that’s the Lakers problem. You got to have some athletic guys that can play some defense and Luka, he can score the best of them but we also know you got to take beers out of his hands cuz he ain’t the one that stay in shape… He ain’t gonna be what you need probably.”

Mike Breen: ‘Comparison is the thief of joy’, and I love that phrase and when you start saying okay who’s better? LeBron… You wind up having to criticize the one that you don’t pick and we’re criticizing one of the greatest to ever play the game, I never understood that. And the other thing is every era is different. LeBron James is the greatest player of his era, Kobe Bryant you can say in his era was there, Michael Jordan certainly. Go back to Kareem, go back to Wilt, go back to Bill Russell. The game is so different, it was played differently 20 years ago, 40 years ago, it was coached differently, it was officiated differently… To compare eras and say he’s better than that player or that player is the best of all time, I just I can’t do it. If you want to tell me that you think Michael Jordan is the greatest of all time, I’m gonna say can’t disagree with you. If you tell me LeBron, can’t disagree with you. You say Wilt Chamberlin I can’t disagree with any of them. They are all legendary generational-type players that to me it’s impossible to pick one over another. The way I always phrase it is, somebody asked me ‘Do you think LeBron James, because I’ve called so many of his games and it’s been an honor to call his games, do you think he’s the greatest of all time?’ I say I can’t say that, what I can say is he takes a backseat to no one.

George Sr. recalled the minutes before his son was taken into the hospital surgery room by wheelchair. Aaron Mintz, Paul George’s longtime agent, arrived with a phone and a certain Lakers star waiting to speak with him on the other line. “His agent, Aaron, for some reason, he got Mr. Bryant on the phone,” George Sr. recalled. “Kobe. So he gives the phone to Paul and so him and Paul are talking. When he gets done, he said, ‘Guess who I was talking,’ and he’s laying there, he’s smiling now. He said, ‘I just got through talking to Kobe Bryant.’ And then after that they wheeled him in.”

“Obviously, he was just showing his support,” Paul George said of his call with the Lakers superstar. “He was like, ‘If you need anything from me, I’m here. I’m in this with you.’ But he was just like, ‘The rehab is going to be tough. The work is going to be hard.’ And he was like, ‘Nobody wants to rehab,’ because this is the first time I’ve ever been injured or broke anything. I f*cked my ankle up in college, but it didn’t requite surgery, it was just time off. So this was like the first injury I ever had that required surgery. He was just like, ‘The work is going to be tedious, its going to be tiresome, you’re not going to want to do it, but my advice is to attack rehab the same way you attack working out on the court.’
