Hard to believe anyone would wish a serious injury on a guy they don't even know . . . Oh, wait, I forgot about kobie . . .
It’s 3:45 p.m., nearly 3 1/2 hours before the Trail
Blazers’ recent game against Phoenix at the Moda Center.
Only one player is already out shooting — Portland center Meyers Leonard.
Working with assistant coach Nate Tibbetts, Leonard roams the perimeter, taking jump shot after jump shot. The 7-1 second-year pro sinks 10 in a row from the corner. He knocks down 12 straight from the elbow. He makes 15 consecutive shots from the free throw line. Then he drains 20 of 25 3-point attempts...
“There’s a misnomer going around that Meyers doesn’t work hard,” says Kim Hughes, the assistant coach who spends the most time with Leonard. “He puts in as much time as anybody.”
Hughes will be dispatched to L.A. to spend time with Leonard there.
“We can put him in a scenario where two guards are coming at him at once for three to four seconds, in pseudo-transition, and at him full speed,” Hughes says. “Meyers must contain him without getting beat off the dribble. He needs a lot of work on that. He knows that.”
You've never let something get to you.. get you mad, sad? We're human.
Oh, yeah. The ridiculous myth that the only thing Meyers does is practice shooting threes.Where has Hughes been the last 2 years? Oh yeah, shagging balls while Leonard practices his shot.
