Gilbert Arenas Breaks Down Kobe Bryant's Black Out Workouts With Victor Oladipo

[@kjdskgj]

No lie there's a really valuable lesson here. Don't let the whole task overwhelm you, just focus on the next step in front of you and you'll get there eventually.

Man I remember I ran 12 miles once at 260lbs, and every thing he said is true. Miles 1-3 I was fighting this wall of “ok I don’t want to do this”. Then miles 3-6 it’s like a crazy body high feels like you could run forever. Miles 6-8 body feels like it’s in pain. After you push through the pain it’s like your body is in autopilot from miles 8-12. I left after mile 12 cause I believe it started raining. It’s amazing what your mind can do once you stop focusing on everything and just push through whatever is in front of you

[@donmarquis08]

this story/segment is really gold. The things you have to go thru in sports just to realize exactly how powerful the mind is with supreme focus

[@applepieclub5012]

This is what made someone like Kobe, so special. It wasn’t that he was just talented, the dude would outwork everyone on the court, every night. He wanted it more than anyone else, straight up. But, his greatness was honed in the gym, in many off seasons. When other dudes were going on vacation and chilling on a beach, Kobe was putting in the work, to get even better. This is why players like Kuzma, who would much rather dress up goofy and do runway shows, during their offseason, stay as fringe players. “How bad do you want it?” A lot of these current fringe players don’t want it enough.

[@danjeffery08]

And that’s perfectly fine if a player doesn’t want to dedicate their entire existence to the game. There’s more to life for some players. But you’re right, you’ll never get to the top doing it that way. Kuz has had a great career considering, man was never expected to be as good as he is now

[@bl5364]

[@ivanreveruzzi1904]

This is one of the best videos I've ever watched. He just explained how he entered a state of samādhi (समाधि), or complete absorption with his basketball shot. This is what life is all about. Everything else is nonsense. Get to it, dear friends...

[@MomentumMarketingTips]

Or a “Flow State”

[@MrKevin1144]

Beautiful comparison. Kobe mastered that state as well.

[@masteroneal]

I remember around that time that Gilbert was getting up 200,000 shots during the summer and it’s crazy to hear this story and math is mathing. 🔥

[@yourbestlife6945]

I respect how humble an down to earth Gilbert is, an how humble he is to the game of basketball an other players game skills. I just feel he is underrated an not talked about enough..💯🐐

[@BSABD315]

I took THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of shots like hes talking about for YEARS! what i realized from all those shots is the most important part to making shots consistently is a proper follow-through on every shot. A consistent follow through will negate negative factors such as a bad form or not jumping optimal on jumpshots. A simple way to master it is simply hold the follow through until the shot reaches the rim make or miss

[@cognitivedisability9864]

damn straight I never shot as much as you, but the moment I started doing that and not thinking about my shot suddenly I was making shit. Hit two game winners in three practice games for my small town "Hobby" team lol.

[@chiggsytube]

Bunch of guys you don't know. And this is stupid, what he's saying. In the last 20 years we've learned a lot. You can't outwork your healing rate. It's not the work, it's the recovery. Arenas shooting numbers are not all time epic like he makes it sound. You could always get by him on defense. Here's a tip. Watch these vids with Arenas' actual stats open in another tab. More is not always better. Rarely is, in fact.

[@AveryB.0]

I remember Quinn Cook saying in an interview he does two a day workouts in the off season. I think a lot of dudes are getting it in honestly. Maybe not 5000 shots but daily grinding

THANK YOU GILBERT FOR THIS STORY. I AM VERY MUCH MOTIVATED, ON MY WAY TO THE GYM RIGHT NOWW!!!!

[@anthonyurso3554]

If anyone has done anything that really pushes you. You know exactly what he is talking about. Your brain has this battle this conflict at first. Where random excuses or reasons to stop. And you will keep telling yourself the opposite to keep going. Screw that. And eventually you will either quit or something clicks to where you start playing these little games that Gilbert was talking about. Little things to focus on that keeps you engaged and from stopping. And then you will start remembering random things that happened in your life. Usually something that made you very upset or mad. Very dramatic experiences and it’s almost like you are dreaming and not in your body. It’s very strange what the mind does when the body is pushed
