Yaxel Lendeborg: “I was in practice bro. They had us in the gym for 5 hours. My god. Hella drive and cuts, drive-kick, extra pass, hit that J, you feel me? Just a bunch of shit like that bro. It was. boy I’m tired, boy I’m tired.”
its awesome how some of these guys go home from work and play a video game simulating their job
I always wonder if truck drivers go home and play Truck Driver Simulator
Or surgeons go home and play Operation
Surgeon Simulator
Ive seen a video of a truck driver stuck in traffic and move another seat to his trucking simulation in his cab
I’ve seen a video with two girls and one of them poops in a cup…
Post the link
Send da video

I’ve seen that guy and his simulator rig is fucking bonkers. I wish I loved anything as much as that fella loves driving trucks lol
my friend’s brother comes back from his job flying planes and plays flight simulator with a full-on setup
Yup they do, at least some of them. I know a few truckers that also have a disgusting amount of hours on ATS/ETS2
The number 1 demographic of users for farming simulator is farmer.
Back in my day (as kid), we’d play Big Mutha Truckers.
This is like when Dwight joins second life and his character is also a paper salesman named Dwight.
Except he can fly
When you do what you love, you never work a day in your life.
Always find it funny how Ayton plays himself in 2K but as a small forward lol.
he’s playing with DominAyton
Retired construction workers seem to do this with models and games.
living the dream
Playing basketball irl then playing 2k i swear makes you a 10x better player in 2k. Atleast for rec lol
Who dragged all the alpha male boot camp and their boomer dads in here? He’s just venting mother fuckers, he’s fine. God forbid a bro admits something was hard.
The reactions here make it seem like Yaxel spat on the catholic pope or MLK lmao. Some people need to chill
people forget the point of streaming is to be an outlet
five hours of cuts and drive sounds exhausting yeah
This is my daily reminder that Redditors are not representative of real life.
Wait until you join Steph for a workout …
Hey at least he doesn’t have to guard Steph on actual games
This is hilarious coming from a redditor tbh
Like as if you know more than the fucking nba player about the workouts lmao
Paul George brought it up on a podcast a few years ago that a high level NBA player had to leave the gym and puke like 10 minutes into his workout with Steph.
Spencer Jones of the Nuggets said he worked out with Steph while he was in college since he attended Stanford and couldn’t keep up in terms of just the conditioning part the first time. Then he said he tried to learn Curry’s training habits and it’s been very helpful. He even documented what they were too since he writes a lot of these long posts.
Yes lad I’ve seen that
Doesn’t make the comment sound any less weird
what’s weird about it
They make it sound like they have worked out with steph
This is distinctly a you problem.
Gotta look in the mirror for weirdness here
Calling someone “lad” in a Reddit comment doesn’t make your comment sound any less weird, either!
I came to open up r/nba one morning & there you were with your head in the toilet. Your hair was in the toilet water. Disgusting.
I was thirsty
Keep it up, you will be better.
What being a 40 year old Rookie does to a mofo
The crayon eaters that write their drivel in threads like this are so embarrassing. ‘he won’t be Kobe with an attitude like that!!’ and ‘hes giving away tactical secrets!!’
Some of you need to go the fuck outside for a while and talk to human beings.

Thank you

Work hard all day just to get home and play the game designed to piss you off. He’s just like us.
I love Yaxel
[deleted]
He’s describing them trying to get him used to their system, it has nothing to do with riding the young guys. I’m sure this most likely involved the rest of the usual players, otherwise it’s not as effective of a practice.
lol do you think teams don’t already know how the Warriors play
the problem is that nobody is really an offensive threat besides Curry and Butler when he’s healthy so all the ball movement just ends up in Draymond’s hands with shot clock winding down. dude attempted a career high 3’s last season (not blaming him)
Warriors got rookie streamer🤣 rip warriors
Go to sleep?
Not a future warrior 🤣
Didn’t sound like he was complaining. Seems he was just saying it was a bit of a shock to the system and hard work.
I don’t think this complaining. complaining would sound more like “bruh I’m not tryna practice this shit” he just explained what he was doing and said it tired him out…
Dray gonna woop his ass soon
It’s a really bad idea for players, especially rookies to stream like this
NBA players used to smoke crack after games, all things considered playing video games on camera is pretty harmless
Why? Gets a good sense of what’s going on and their honest opinion. Heck who knows, maybe we’ll hear about hazing or not but we’ll if there’s a difference in personality
Yeah man, gsw is really going to love their rookie going around telling the internet about hazing and locker room stories.
Of course they won’t share. But you can see on peoples faces or personalities when they have their “honeymoon phase”
A hard practice is hazing? Ya’ll soft
Ugh, Warriors drafted soft apparently.
lol I think it’s just him noting the difference between college and nba intensity level. Lendeborg worked his way up from a juco to Michigan, to being a lottery pick. I highly doubt he did that without being a hard worker.
Then he shouldn’t be complaining.
bro wtf have you done to be talking like this lmao
You should focus more on your boy Ben “Bassmaster” Simmons, with his I don’t like basketball…er…back problems.
How is he complaining?
Guy just described practice…
…complained about practice
It doesn’t make you soft to talk about how hard a workout/practice was lol, he’s a rookie and it’s pre season he’s probably not used to the intensity
Yes, it does. He should just shut up and do what the team expects of him and pays him for. Zero reason to complain.
Again, he’s not complaining
He’s explaining that he’s tired because he had 5 hours of high intensity workouts
Okay boomer.
He’s not gonna date you, you know that right?
Tf? You thought that was a good clapback? What a clown 🤣
anyone else think this guy is gonna be a bust? he’s too old to be whining like this lol
He just likes to talk about whatever is in his mind. Probably shouldn’t do that all the time lol, but he had some viral clips at Michigan since he’s super honest. In the National Championship game, they even asked him how he’s doing at halftime, and he said on camera live that he was playing terribly, that he played super soft, and that he felt weak, which I’ve never heard of any player saying in the middle of a game.
If you want some good quotes from rookies this year, Yaxel, AJ, and Labaron Philon are the three to follow. They have very outgoing personalities and will say whatever.
I think some rather meaningful context is that Yaxel got a pretty serious injury in the previous game, and it wasn’t a guarantee that he would even play in the finals. He did wind up playing, but was clearly limited when he was on the court
Tism.
Bigger problem is that he didn’t do this his entire life. That’s like 10 years of practice wasted.
He’ll be a bust because Kerr won’t play him. Unless the upper management makes him. This has been the theme outside of Podz lol
lacob has been drafting absolute bums tbf.
There is enough minutes for him.
All anyone’s said abt him since the draft is that he’s gonna be a bust
That’s not true, there’s been a very split opinion on him but I’ve also seen a lot of people praise the pick
is that true???? all the national nba guys I listen to love him. is there more skepticism in the bay media?
Conditioning not where it needs to be, neither is the mentality. Imagine Kobe complaining about this and still being Kobe.
You not him
Not every player is or should be Kobe. You’re right. He’s not going to be Kobe. Such a dumb mentality.
Every player should have that drive
Do you have that drive?
Dude, I would hate to be Kobe Bryant. They absolutely should not. Basketball is a job, they should work hard, practice and spend time with their families have hobbies.
You watch revisionist history. Everybody hated Kobe. He treated teammates awfully, he mouthed off to people, he got in trouble off the court, he ran off Shaq. Cheated on his wife. No relationship with his parents. I’m sure you weren’t alive to know these things. Gasol was the only guy I remember ever liking him.
I’d much rather live Harden’s life or McGrady’s than Kobe’s.
if 2 kobes were on a team they’d strangle eachother then win the finals, or vice versa
lol. Because we all thought yaxel was the next Kobe …?
I bet you were hoping so
Doing all that to be the 9th seed
Good point. They shouldn’t practice or try. That’ll make things better.
Josh Hart just won a championship and he has said on his podcast that he doesn’t practice and refuses to.
Well he said it when Thibs was the coach but numerous NBA players in this era said they don’t practice anymore. Especially not like they used to.
You think Josh hart doesn’t practice basketball?
They don’t practice in the the nba. It’s not what I think. He said it out his own mouth on a podcast.
Hes talking about it in season, while the games are being played, as a veteran. Everyone practices hard as theyre gearing up
Lol at yall thinking players practice when there have been MULTIPLE players that have said they don’t practice. Working on your game and attending team practice are 2 totally different things. This is literally from the players who are currently playing who have podcasts. Not something I’m making up.
They dont have practices during the season much anymore. 82 games is a lot already with all the travel and teams are prioritizing physical rest to keep them healthier. But not having those formal in game practices is not the same as not practicing his game.
Probably 10th or 11th.
This era of players going from practice to streaming playing video games is cringey asf
yea he needs to get his ass to the strip club
He’s not a real man unless he’s smoking Crack after practice
Idgaf what he needs to do…it’s much more interesting when the players are cooked out sex addicts…not basement dwelling losers like you pathetic fans 🤣
you are right here with us
Dude with a Reddit avatar making fun of other people lmao
Yeah back in my day they gambled and went to bars like real men!!
Sometimes they throw another guy through a window while at the bar!
Who gives a fuck about real men I want entertainment
Why would anyone in the world cater to what your entitled ass wants
What if, hear me out, he enjoys playing video games?
Do the basketballers ever have a different hobby?
Then he should keep his uninteresting ass home life off the internet
..says the basement dweller who’s accomplished nothing and still comments on the Internet.
What a weird comment lol… why is it cringe? Would it be better if they were racing around in expensive cars and hitting women in the hotel lobby? Like serious… why is video games “so cringe” Would you rather he have 5 guys standing behind him while he talks about the refs and how hes being disrespected?
Right he’s a 23 year old kid playing video games. Sheesh.
23 year old professional basketball player playing video games…also let’s normalize not playing video games as a thing that every person does…
“Let’s not normalize” gtf out of here.
Most 23 year old guys play video games. I bet the majority of nba players play 2k or madden.
I would expect more from you but your a Boston fan lol. No more comments needed buddy. You a hoe.
As opposed to a 23 year old professional software engineer playing video games? Why tf does what you do matter for whether you can play video games or not
Hitting women would be much more interesting
Lol of course you comment this lol. Lol. How weird lol. You a hoe lol
I preferred when they went to meet up with chicks in a Colorado hotel
ayo
More interesting by FAR, not even close
Pure rape energy hoooly
Its good for them to have hobbies, nothing wrong with that
And honestly I bet streaming video games is near the top of the list of the best hobbies a team wants their player to have
Why should I give a fuck what the team wants 🤣🤣
Wasn’t even talking to you
Explain what’s wrong with playing video games
Why stream it though?
Oh damn such a cool dude! I wanna be like you!
