Goin' To Work: Nick Young (Wizards) & Paul George (Pacers)

[mrhoopfan1]

Now all Nick young has to do is "go to work" on his basketball IQ!

[AngeloGomesMonaiar]

my godness Paul sounds EXACTLY like LeBron

[mylesusa]

two of my favorite players

[64ballin]

NICK JOHN AND JAVALE TAKIN THE NBA IF WE EVEN HAVE A SEASON

[tupark82]

@64ballin straight to the crappers, yeah.

[QUIKKSTAR]

Paul George is a dirty player

[spitgiezer]

@QUIKKSTAR what you mean Paul Goegre is a dirty player? Paul as nice a person there is on and off the court.

[YawningBoy]

hi coach can you make a video on the washington wizards and why they're a bad team and what they can do to improve please?

[HannaBoyOD]

Hey coach did yyou see Nick young's 60 point game, what do you think about it?

[TAKEitEATitLIKEit]

I hope the Bulls get Nick!!! (GIANT Bulls fan!) THey need a scoring SG and I find D to be more of a team thing. Rotations, help, double teams, etc., etc. Thibs can work Young into the system. There's a whole conversation on BullsConnect... I REALLY WANT NICK NOW!!!!!!!!! xD

[funakiexpress]

4:17.. a not so skinny Allen iverson lol

[17thwonder]

nick...that fro needs to go man

[ArmoredFelix]

How can these incredibly weak guys be NBA players? I mean, I get the difference between fast twitch and slow twitch blah blah blah. These guys are sadly weak.

[bballbreakdown]

@ArmoredFelix They're now weak - bulk muscle is not the goal and it's also the beginning of their training cycle so they start off with lower weight. It's all about balance, flexibility, explosion

[ArmoredFelix]

@bballbreakdown Yeah, I mean, I get the difference but the way they are lifting so smoothly and even tempoed. I guess it's the difference between MJ at 22 and MJ at 38.

[MrFan32]

@ArmoredFelix kevin durant is weak in comparison to a lot of players his size, but he is a top 10 player

[ArmoredFelix]

@MrFan32 Let me think, nope. I can't come up with a more obvious statement than the one you just made. Congratulations, you win the Mr. Oblivious award for the week.

[PoppingJR]

@ArmoredFelix They're not worlds strongest man, nor bodybuilders.

[ArmoredFelix]

@PoppingJR They are part of one of the most elite groups of athletes in the world. You would think they would be stronger.

[PoppingJR]

@ArmoredFelix This is basketball, not football. I don't think strength is the top key in basketball. It's all about quickness athleticism. Unless of course you are a center or a power forward, which in this case they are not. When have you seen a line-man out run a conerback?

[ArmoredFelix]

@PoppingJR Lawrence Taylor, Ray Lewis, Jerome Boyd. You didn't address the point I have made. It's not like I care. I am probably going to continue to think correctly. You are probably going to continue to think incorrectly. Now hush. I don't like to troll on Coach's videos.

[PoppingJR]

@ArmoredFelix There is no right or wrong awnser to this conversation. I will leave it alone. But i dont think the linebacker u named will out run corners lol

[ArmoredFelix]

@PoppingJR Boyd was clocked running a 4.33 in the 40-yard dash. CB Brandon Hughes, Oregon State 4.36 Lardarius Webb, Nicholls State - 4.36 Christopher Owens, San Jose State 4.42 Vontae Davis, Illinois - 4.43 Sherrod Martin, Troy - 4.43 CJ Spilman, Marshall - 4.43 Morgan Trent, Michigan - 4.43 Captain Munnerlyn, South Carolina - 4.44 Darius Butler, Connecticut - 4.45 Kevin Barnes, Maryland - 4.46 Asher Allen, Georgia - 4.47 Bradley Fletcher, Iowa - 4.47 Bruce Johnson, Miami - 4.47

[PoppingJR]

@ArmoredFelix ok the fewer linbackers can out run some coners... But u guna tell me that more then 8% of the nfl linebackers are going to be that fast? but its off topic. i was jsut simply statin that as linebackers are blukin up and coners are workin on speed, 2 different things. Who do u think would win in a 1 on 1 basketball game, Patrick willis or prince amukamara. ( Just the first young players to come to mind.)

[ArmoredFelix]

@PoppingJR TBH at this point, I'm just responding to see how far we can be ridiculous with each other. 1 on 1? The bigger player always has an advantage in street ball. I am not familiar with either of these two guys games in basketball(which means a hell of a lot more than their size). But who do you think would win Barkley or Gary Payton 1 on 1(i assume you mean make it take it and we're doing street ball rules) I'm actually not sure about who wins that one. Talent beats all.

[ArmoredFelix]

@PoppingJR What I was actually saying, is that when you're paid millions of dollars to play a game it's your responsibility to be quick, fast(two different things) and strong. During my playing days all I was capable of doing was the quick and the strong. I was probably faster than I remember. All I can really remember was that I could always get to the rim but I was lucky to beat someone down court. Now that's not to say that if I couldn't pass off at the rim I was real successful.

[PoppingJR]

@ArmoredFelix Sense u put it that way, then yes i see were ur gettin at. If u do get paid that much (Wich is highly over paid, fuckin ridicules) u would think they would be stronger and nothin but muscle specially paul george weighin at 200 and somthin, should be able to do wayyy more then they are in this video. But also who know if they were just now comin out of their little vacation or doin another type of workout. as in like low weights less rest ect...

[ArmoredFelix]

@PoppingJR Meh, first year. The successful ones get strong too. The bad ones fall out at 4 years.

[PoppingJR]

@ArmoredFelix Kobe doesn't look strong haha :)

[ArmoredFelix]

@PoppingJR Are you that retarded?

[AJVersatility19]

@ArmoredFelix They're athletes. Not body builders.

[ArmoredFelix]

@AJVersatility19 They're paid millions of dollars to be playing a game. They should be athletic, strong, quick and fast. Read the rest the posts.

[maxandophir]

@ArmoredFelix you obviously know nothing about basketball conditioning.. they are long, lanky players.. when people say you need height for basketball thats wrong you need length

[ArmoredFelix]

@maxandophir Derp, admittedly I never made it past DIV 2, but you still have an idea what the real guys are doing and these two are portraying a different skill set. But it's clearly not obvious that you know anything.

[Arobbanks]

@ArmoredFelix it not always about size when it comes to basketball it helps to have Lebron's or dwight howards size and strength but skill set is more important just ask Kevin durant

[ArmoredFelix]

@Arobbanks Ty for explaining the obvious.

[DdotRedd]

@ArmoredFelix you dont have to be amazingly strong to be in the nba, just be have a really high skill set, grerat mentallity, footwork, balance and speed and coordination are probly more important than strength

[ArmoredFelix]

@DdotRedd Dude, these are the best out of 350 million people. I'm just shocked that these guys can be so pathetically weak and still be able to rise to the top.

[patok98]

Hi Coach Nick.I'm your huge fan.Can you make a breakdown for Boston vs Miami Game 3 when rondo dislocates his elbow.Thanks.

[JLbball]

thx Nick! I luv to watch players working out, this's how they became a pro, they always motivate me a lot

[bballbreakdown]

@JLbball You wouldn't believe how hard they had to work to get there. Stay tuned for more videos that show you behind the curtain!

[ImmortalDragon]

Nick Young finally got his teeth fixed. About time!

[chocolatecity1974]

@ImmortalDragon Now he just needs to get his hair fixed!

[aecbandit]

Not sure if it's possible, but I'd love to see you do one of these with Grant Hill. It's absolutely incredible how much time that guy puts in at his age.

In any case, I enjoyed this. Looking forward to more!

[bballbreakdown]

@aecbandit Grant Hill and Steve Nash together would be amazing. I think they work out in Phoenix - if anyone knows let me know, maybe I can make something happen. I do want to get all of the LA guys first...

[Lodzio20]

If Nick Young improve his defense he will be an all star caliber player

[bballbreakdown]

@Lodzio20 Agree!

[Marine4Life51]

@Lodzio20 his man-defense is already very good, and he puts forth a lot of effort. His team, reading rotations, etc. is a work in progress (as it is for pretty much everyone else on the team, hoping Chris Singleton can teach his new teammates a few things like Haywood used to). if Nick works on his rebounding and passing he will be an all-star.

[Marine4Life51]

@Marine4Life51 sorry i meant "team defense"

[TheJunaid14]

Hey nick thnx 4 the advice bouh doin pushups nd situps at my age,13.

I was going to ask can u do a draft special so we get to knw the new rookies better i.e kyrie, williams,kanter, kemba nd de rest fnx

[bballbreakdown]

@TheJunaid14 I'll do my best to get some footage of them playing...

[MrFrEaK4NBA]

Nice video

[JayDDreams]

Coach Nick, can you try to interview stephen curry of the warriors?

[bballbreakdown]

@JayDDreams Do you know where he's working out this off season?

[modernity2001]

An excellent clip, better than practically 100 percent of anything you see on ESPN. Nice long shots with an eye towards intimacy rather than hyper-edited dunk reels. My hat is off.

[bballbreakdown]

@modernity2001 Thanks - this was a good first effort. I've got loads of ideas on how to improve it and make it even better. Stay tuned!

[Mwillz11]

Nick Young never struck me as one of those guys that works hard in the off-season. It's good to see he actually does put in alot of time in the weightroom. He's one of the top up and coming players in my eyes. If he can round out his game a little more I feel his going to be a force in the NBA.

[bballbreakdown]

@Mwillz11 I was surprised to see he led the Wizards in scoring and I expect him to get even better with the extra time to work.

[MiopTop]

lmao 2:44 Guys who are good with their foots lololol

[chocolatecity1974]

@MiopTop LOL!! I bet he wishes he could take that line back! I had to rewind to make sure I heard that right. Paul is one of the better spoken guys out there, but he'll get better. Lance Stephenson should take note.

[greekfighter71]

Young needs a haircut

[Dman4901]

WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT LEBRON JAMES HE SOUNDS LIKE PAUL GEORGE can these young guys get THERE SHINE WITHOUT SOME DUMBFUCK MENTIONING A GUY WHO GETS ALL THE MEDIA HYPE BAD/GOOD IM SICK OF HEARING/SEEING LBJ's NAME IN BASKETBALL VIDEOS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH LEBRON JAMES ITS NICK YOUNG AN PAUL INTERVIEW NOT LEBRON DAAM

[1playerroyal]

Great stuff coach nick, George and Young are really talented scorers and great athlets !

[bballbreakdown]

@1playerroyal Thanks - we're going to do lots more of these all summer and lockout long.

[TheAesirsFinest]

Wow, Paul George really reminds me of LeBron. Just the way he talks, sounds, his mannerisms....uncanny.

AMAZING video coach. I absolutely loved this - super informative, interesting, and it gives a lot of insight into how NBA players train.

[bballbreakdown]

@TheAesirsFinest Thanks. We'll refine it and make it even better as we continue doing these all summer long.

Coach Nick

[Cassacify]

like if you were at the chat yesterdat

[lbj6mj23]

damn this afro lol

[JaySee5]

I STILL can't believe the Clippers passed on Paul George for AFA. He's exactly what they Clips needed this season. Well, him and a competent coach.

[bballbreakdown]

@JaySee5 OMG, I didn't realize that! Do you remember the argument I got into here about Aminu? I kept saying he isn't a small forward (which he still hasn't proven) and the guy kept getting angry at me?

Imagine Paul George, Blake Griffin, Eric Gordon and DeAndre Jordan in the lineup? AY!

[JaySee5]

@bballbreakdown AFA played like a SF at the beginning of the season and had some good spurts, but as the season dragged VDN put him in the dog house and kept starting and giving minutes to Gomes even though he was hurt.

[tintin4561]

nick young looks blazed as fuck!

[Marine4Life51]

@tintin4561 lol he always looks like that, even when i'm sure he's sober.

[TheJunaid14]

Coach im 13 nd gt access to a weight room afta scholl on 3 dayz. The question is shall i do weightz now or w8? Coz it myyt affect my growth

[bballbreakdown]

@TheJunaid14 First off - lifting weights WILL NOT AFFECT YOUR GROWTH!!!

At 13, you'd be better off (IMO) doing lots of isometrics - push ups, sit ups, lunges, stretching and flexibility. Get really good with your balance and flexibility, be able to do push ups & sit ups -VERY SLOWLY - then you can progress to weights... REmember - basketball isn't about bulk, but quickness and bursts of strength...

[littlebidee]

paul george sounds like lebron hames,

[themistermand]

I think the trainer is having some trouble with his math

[max420ful]

Nick Young is wearing Kobe 6's !

[bballbreakdown]

@maxlin1000 He's in LA - and he's on my list. I will do my best to get in front of him b/c I think he'd be awesome...

[LeGreatness]

Paul George = Tracy McGrady + LeBron's nose and voice.

[cooliocolio441]

Good Job Coach Nick!

[bballbreakdown]

@cooliocolio441 Thanks! Lots more coming up, stay tuned!

[Geschmekt]

Yeah, hope Nick signs with Suns this offseason

[bballbreakdown]

@Geschmekt Wait. Is Nick Young a free agent now??

[gabrielekhavirel]

@bballbreakdown Yes he is

[Geschmekt]

@bballbreakdown Yes, he will be restricted free agent.

[halowafflebrains]

Paul George is going to be an All Defensive forward for years to come. keep this series up, great stuff

[bballbreakdown]

@halowafflebrains Thanks, great stuff coming all summer and lockout long!

Coach Nick

[Zangboy56]

Fuck the Lockout

[bballbreakdown]

@Zangboy56 You said it.

[threequestions]

I would love to see some of the drills they use to work on footwork

[bballbreakdown]

@threequestions I'm working on expanding this idea to cover lots of things. Stay tuned!

Coach Nick

[TheDutchPaul]

1% + 95% + 5% = 100% ??

[am88ification]

@TheDutchPaul

1% mess around in clubs and want autographs

99% are straight. out of the 99% that are straight, 95% of those is mental, and the other 5% is physical and work ethic.

and from the mental 95%, you use those to develop the other 5%

yes this dave chapelle dopple-ganger is brainfarting like no other while tripping on some serious drugs.

[TheDutchPaul]

@am88ification I get what he means, but he just says it the wrong way. I'm not stupid you know...

[korrekturmarker]

i really like paul george. he is saying smart stuff.

[bballbreakdown]

@korrekturmarker Very impressive - he wants to go into sports journalism when he retires - and I told him he'd better keep that promise.

[noonevincecarterfan]

Great video! I love watching how the NBA players work out.

[bballbreakdown]

@noonevincecarterfan Thanks - much more to come - and more NBA players too (hopefully)

[ricobellic1]

i can't stop looking at nick youngs afro lol

[casewnuts]

this is great! Keep it up :D

[nubprac]

Paul George reminds me of Lebron.

Nick Young looks like Chris Paul with a afro haha

[chriss790]

@nubprac

agreed

[gabrielekhavirel]

@nubprac haha yeah

[andrewtsang999]

Nick remind me the young kobe

[bballbreakdown]

@andrewtsang999 Wow - I'm sure Nick would be happy to hear that!

[pnewtonfarley]

loved it coach. always great to see some behind the scenes

[bozotheclown9]

that coach doesnt know how to add up to 100% lol

[bballbreakdown]

@bozotheclown9 Well, he wasn't making it add to 100 - he was saying that 90% of the 95% that player needs is mental...

[Tommmaaah]

Great video! Hope to see a lot more

[bballbreakdown]

@Tommmaaah Thanks. I've got some good ideas brewing...

[tim10888]

coach nick, u got a new camera??

[bballbreakdown]

@tim10888 No, just hired my camera guy to shoot this... We used the 5D

[KillenEMsoftly]

Coach, if possible...interview with Jrue Holiday...Coach Collins, hell anybody from the sixers

[bballbreakdown]

@KillenEMsoftly I think he's in LA - I will do my best to get in touch with him.

[LoneshotHero]

With the extra time off lets see if Lebron returns with something new to his game

[wikkywah3]

@LoneshotHero hopefully a post up game 

[willlee3]

both players are great young gunners in the league. I think they would be a perfect sidekick to the hall of famer on a champ teams.

[bballbreakdown]

@willlee3 which team you thinking?

[willlee3]

@bballbreakdown I think they could be better sidekicks to Lebron/Wade than Lebron/Wade. They are going towards a Rudy Gay, Iguodala career and if teams don't max out and instead get them to be the 3rd option. They should compliment the superstars very well

[slyester33]

Interview Ray Allen please!

[bballbreakdown]

@slyester33 OMG that would be great. I don't think he's in LA, so it'd be hard...

[rcinglad]

paul goerge has a sick jays hat

[NoName1325]

Great doc Coach! I can't imagine how much players have to put up with when it comes to strict diets, constant days of just working out. I'd have to see a weeks worth of their schedule and try it out myself to truly understand the lifestyle they live.

J.J.Hickson got traded today for a first round pick to the Sacarmento Kings for some guy, not sure if you knew. You really got me to not like JJ at all, I really don't like him as a player and just in general he's very overrated in my opinion.

[bballbreakdown]

@NoName1325 Hickson got traded for Omri Casspi - I think Cleveland gets the better of the deal unless SAC can get Hickson motivated again.

Each player gets a binder with a personalized training regimen designed for him. Amazed that there are players who aren't in perfect shape when you see something like this.

[NoName1325]

@bballbreakdown There's nothing good about JJ though isn't he a lost cause? It looks like there's just so much to work on with him that you're just better off putting him at a different position and giving him less responsibilities.

Ultimately, this video would be my argument that players do not make enough/a good amount of money. I don't even need to go into detail. If you can, try to interview that player you don't like known as Mr. Bosh, he's working towards gaining muscle and weight.

[joekimusic]

nice one coach nick

[bballbreakdown]

@joekimusic Thanks! Lots more where this came from.

[bowdedav000]

Pauls voice sounds alot like LeBrons

[Maws92]

@bowdedav000 i totally agree man lol

[eznoob1v1]

@bowdedav000 yea especially with his "like I said"

[jdliauw]

Paul George kind of reminds me of Lebron James.

[jdliauw]

@jdliauw and good job Nick!

[bballbreakdown]

@jdliauw Thanks! I hope to do a lot more of these all summer. I'd love to get these guys on the court and get real specific with fundamentals...

Coach Nick
