In 2008, I was training NBA Guys when I received a call at 12am from Danny Green. He said "Velle, Can you meet me at the gym for a workout in at 1am"? At the time, my wife is pregnant with my daughter, so I said "Sure" and we head over....Danny had been cut from the Spurs Cont'd

a couple of times. 5 minutes into the workout I pull him aside and told him. "You're wasting ur time creating off the bounce with combination moves. The Spurs has this guy named Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Ginobli that they pay millions to do that hard stuff...If u gon "Cont'd

make this squad, when they kick it to you, you must make 3 out of 5 spot up jumpers...Our workouts were simplified. Spot shooting with 500 Makes...The last 5 from each spot does not count if the ball hit the rim...He hated me for awhile but soon understood the mission...Cont'd

We did that for a complete summer. He went on to make the Spurs and soon after set the Finals record for 3 pointers, and earned close to $60 mill since then. Moral is: There are 450 Players in the NBA, with 24 All-Stars...That means 426 players are ROLE Players....Cont'd

Customize your workouts to the system ur involved in and become a STAR in ur role. To stick in the NBA, you must be great at something...Love seeing the good guys and underdogs WIN!!!
