Video: LeBron James and Kevin Durant Working Out Together, Pt. 2

Who’s the little dude workin out with the two best basketball players on the planet

It’s like a walk in the park to these guys. Too bad none of those people hating on NBA players and calling them lazy, greedy and lucky will see this video.

@CT thats Craig Winder… lol I went to High School with em… he is pretty good but he’s been in the D League for like 2 years or so

Haha KD is skinny fat. Notice how at 0:56, Durant looks at his belly and thinks “Damn, I gotta ease up on that junk food…”

I know it was highlights, but it was still impressive.

i dont know why people think LeBron cant shoot

^ I remember seeing that same J a couple years ago while he was practicing. Thought we discussed this. LbJ has the mechanics and finger positioning down. It just comes down to him having the confidence in game to use them the right way each time.

seeing these guys in a pool , talk about shallow end!

Co-sign NBK When you look at great shooters, their form is always exactly the same on every shot. Early in the game, 4th quarter, free throw, 3 pointer, it doesn’t matter. Ray Allen’s form is not only pretty, but mechanically he shoots the ball exactly the same on every shot. LeBron struggles with that consistency. Sometimes he follows through, sometimes its a flick, sometimes he really elevates, sometimes its more of a set shot, sometimes he fades, sometimes he jumps straight up… etc. I think if he stuck to one motion he’d shoot much better.

That’s my nephews Craig winder from Maryland he got his champions ring in d league Hahahaha

Seriously.. watch this – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUMoT-j5DUc

This is wack, I am not working out with anybody that is competition. This is why these new team jumpers, lets play together friends NBA is lockout. None have no backbone. Its a no win situation for both of them. If Lebron shoots, better he worked with KD. If KD becomes a better player overall, he worked out with Lebron. This furthers show’s me Lebron is too nice to be a killer on the court. Do yall really think MJ, Kobe, Magic or Larry supposely in their prime are working out during the summer with competition. BULL CRAP. This is not impressive, no defense just shooting, they need the defenders to jump in their face or have two broom sticks to alter their shots. Just shooting to be shooting is wack. Get some brooms and raise them up as people shoot to get them ready for NBA ball, not streetball tournaments they both have been playing. BOOK IT!!

I want to quit my job and just workout all day.

The Seed finds something to hate even when there is nothing to hate on. Typical. If Lebron was trash talking and avoiding everyone just to train by himself, ‘Lebron is such an ass no wonder he has no friends.’ Just an invalid opinion from the get go.

So “Swensens, we taking him over to Swensens” is the new “we going to Sizzlers, we going to siiiiiizlers”?
Enjoying the heck outta these workout vids, always good to pick up on these exercises and drills, do some research online and then implement them into my routine if necessary.
1st part was more informative though.

Its good to see them working out together. For all you who compare Kobe and Mj and Larry….. Im confused… We have no idea who Larry or Mj trained with because social media was not nearly as advanced. And even if they did train alone, who cares? Stop living in the past! The NBA has changed. The players have changed. The fans have changed. The rules have changed. The talent has changed. The size of the players. Their speed. Everything! So lets stop comparing apples to oranges. Let them workout and feed off the energy of another emerging hardworking superstar.

I thought the title read “lebron james and kevin durant MAKING out together.” imagine my disappointment when i found out it wasn’t. at least they were both sweating hard.

How does Wade feel about this? Hard work, playing BBall is fun, never work

You guys are funny, i’m beginning to think none of you have gone to a real game and watched warm ups. Even the bench warmers dont miss! Its a highlight real of thousands of shots. Good to see them training in the off season but mind blowingly impressive….hardly. They are in the NBA.

Yes, the benchwarmers do hit shots. Which is still very impressive.
I mean, everybody hear has played basketball at some point at different levels of competition. And worked out alone. Consistently hitting shots over and over again from NBA three point distance is not an easy skill. Sure, it should be easy if you’re a professional basketball player, or an aspiring one, but that describes like .00001 percent of the American population, at most.
I think sometimes people underestimate the amount of work it takes to become elite at a sport, any sport. Everybody cannot do it, no matter how much work they put in.

Why Allen is even reacting to mburb’s condescending comment is beyond me. I guess watching NBA layup-lines gives one the right to belittle an entire comment section. Impressive.
Know-it-alls unite.

Word, AP, been a fan of this game for a loooong time, played high level ball back in Europe, was a ballboy for Magic on a tour he did in the 90′s, lost to Dirk in an impromptu 3pt contest once, had the incredible opportunity to work out with current NBA players in camps in Asia the last few years and i STILL feel awe when watching them go to work. Live or on screen.
I mean i can shoot quite well, and Bogut handled me easiily in every early morning shooting drill when he was here (and this was during his recovery from back surgery, he wouldn’t even attempt dunks that week!) Consistency was amazing.
So when some guy comments all blasé on people being amazed at how easy they look while shooting, gets my blood boiling.
Hence my earlier comment.

And Im speaking from personal experience, I played ball in college, put up 500 shots a day and all the above. I shot pretty well during practice as well as in games but when games were close in the 4th my nerves and anxiety took over and I began to unconsciously do things out of the ordinary. Thats why when I watch this video im skeptical, it looks great but I don’t think brons jumper was ever horrible. I think it changes during in game situations.

I think it is clear that LeBron’s jumper changes in high stress situations. His release point changes, it comes further “out” instead of “up”. His center of balance changes. His load-out (his motion before the release) becomes more dramatic, adding movement to his jumper and ultimately affecting his release and balance before he even begins his actual release. There are a lot of issues with LeBron’s jumper during games (watch the finals) that don’t rear their head in these practice videos. Seemingly because he is not under any pressure.
