The global coronavirus pandemic has forced athletes away from team facilities for the past two months, leaving professional athletes essentially on their own to stay in shape until a potential return to competition.
When it came to the NBA, not every player had access to a basketball court at their homes — even Steph Curry had to order his own hoop for his driveway. But I guess teams should have been concerned about players working out without supervision of a training staff too because Lonzo Ball definitely could use some help.
This week, Ball posted a video of him working out from the Big Baller Brand estate, and just about everything from the video would have the Pelicans strength staff cringe.
The obvious issues: Lonzo’s range of motion is absolutely off. His back and posture are terrible for this movement. And he’s losing wrist stability — snapping his wrist at the top of the movement. None of this is ideal for a basketball player. And given that Lonzo posted it to social media as if it was a good thing, fans could not get over this terrible form.
Now all those Lonzo injuries are starting to make a lot more sense. Someone fix his form, please.
