It’s awesome to see a 2 time Finals MVP still working on the basics

[@edwardthomas2229]

NJSportsScene I agree

[@thatkid_cj1079]

If there the basics I wanna see you do them

[@markysng]

Thatkid_ CJ i think he just means doing basic dribbling and shooting drills. but those dribble pullups nasty

[@123123roo]

I was thinking the same thing THATKID-cJ. lol them aint no damn basics but i understand NJsports Point hahaha

[@dansmith2566]

When I was growing up rod Strickland had the best handles

[@zachariah-binyisrayl5570]

I see the result of working with Steve Nash. Balance, fluidity, and using the right muscles. Man, KD looking scary af!

[@zachariah-binyisrayl5570]

Jonas Conrad YES !! The brutha is COMMITTED to getting better and WINNING. He is definitely putting in the work. He could easily just chill the whole summer and be lazy...but that ain't who he is. He wants that 3 PEAT ring...and I think he's gonna get it too.

[@zachariah-binyisrayl5570]

Many people don't wanna admit it...but KD truly IS the best player in the world. BRONSEXUALS will fight me about this, though. lol

Zachariah-Bin Yisrayl you're a KDsexual. he's the best "offensive" player. he'll never get his due because of his pussy move, and rightly so.

[@RobertDGordon]

I still remember when Strick was leading the league in assists in 98 and got snubbed from the all star team. He was mad underrated his entire career.

[@Kid82fy]

Emmanuel Ray The Warriors did. KD ain’t do it solo. Warriors vs Bron. KD too nice though. Finals MVP for a reason

[@judahmourneth3211]

Kid82fy lol stop being in denial. He bust his as sthr last two finals. Especially this years game 3. When the Cavs role players out scored the warriors and role players. Lebron didn’t want to guard up to shut him down.

[@zachariah-binyisrayl5570]

Kid82fy Who DESTROYED the whole Cavs squad BY HIMSELF in game 3 ??? That's right...KD. Curry & Klay was ice cold...so KD put the team on his back....like a BAWS !! Give the man his proper credit. He SAVED the team in game 3 and whupped LBJ's ass, sir. U are low-key hating...so just stop. Ya dig ?

[@Kid82fy]

Zachariah-Bin Yisrayl I did nigga. Read my comment fool. KD a beast, but the finals really was LeBron vs Warriors

[@judahmourneth3211]

Kid82fy was it lebron vs warriors in game 1 when he gave up on his team in OT only scoring 2 points Or how about game 3 when the Cavs role players out scored the warriors role players (Steph and klay also) and all he had to do was check and play defense on KD. But he didn’t even switch off the picks to step up. Nobody is saying he could’ve beaten the warriors but him getting swept was UNACCEPTABLE. Enough with the excuses.

[@enyallegend1395]

Trey Neal you not lying all these all these other guys been workin out with ppl who havent stepped foot in an NBA game

[@lampshademuncher5316]

The best trainers don’t have to be nba players. There are a lot of people with more basketball smarts than most nba players who just weren’t good enough to make the nba. I’m pretty sure the players have a good idea if someone is a good trainer or not and they train with non-nba player trainers quite a lot.

[@zachariah-binyisrayl5570]

HUGE shout out to ROD STRICKLAND. Between working with Rod...and then training with STEVE NASH...omg. KD's game is gonna be a FELONY !! lol

Mastery of the simple fundamentals of the game with shooting, Rod Strickland providing the handles, which he was the wizard of, also the game. This is amazing from the top skill level guy in the game working with the young fella as well. As a Laker fan I enjoy things like this and appreciate championship prep.

Quinn Cook shot 50-40-90 in the 'G' League. The first--and only player--to do so thus far. ... He's a bonafide 'Shooter.'

Kd gets hate rightfully so for going to play with the warriors, and lebron gets a lot of love some deserving some not so much, but KD is really good. Really good. Not easy putting up the numbers he does with other players on ur team. Efficient and arguably the most unguardable dude in the league

Joshua Hayes Fkk u mean..."rightfully so" ?? Golden State was the ONLY team KD knew he'd be HAPPY with. He wasn't HAPPY in OKC because they didn't have a system that fit KD's talents. U can't knock ANYBODY for getting in a position to be HAPPY & SUCCESSFUL. That's some low key HATER shit u said.

[@joshuahayes3079]

Zachariah-Bin Yisrayl im probably a little older then you. From a competitor standpoint i didn't like it, and i understand the hate he receives. That doesn't discredit his talent or his accomplishments. He did what was best for him. Power to him. Not hating. I said hes the best offensive player in basketball.
