So did everyone pass the infamous fitness test?

[ehizzy3]

I don't remember hearing anyone failing it. I think andre did last year

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Oden, Pryzbilla & Camby all failed.

 

[Eastoff]

Oden, Pryzbilla & Camby all failed.

why would Camby? Because he's tall? That's tallist! and as a 6'5" human, I am offended sir!

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

They should make Oden and Godzilla run it 4 times a day until they pass.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Everyone passed who took it. Apparently Nate had an opt-out clause that involves a week of some workout.

thank you. +rep

Plus, players with 4 or more years in the league don't have to take it anymore. I think that's a new twist to the test, and perhaps an indicator of Nate's willingness to change as a coach.

Sounds more like a management decision to divert attention away from the fact that they traded Sergio for an expensive, fat, slow, lazy guy with no ambition or dedication who disappears in the playoffs every year.

That's right. I heard that Sergio is so dedicated that he passed it even though he no longer plays in the NBA! Of course, the people of Real Madrid were really upset at him because this was in the middle of the night there when the facility was rented to an old age home for a game of Bocce (*).

(*) - For those keeping score at home, Sergio's A/TO was the highest ever in a Bocce game, but he still could not score.

You do realize that Andre Miller is 10x the point guard Sergio Rodriguez could ever dream to be? And he sure does "disappear" in the playoffs, you know, with his 16.8 ppg average as the 3rd option.

How many playoff series wins does Sergio have? As many as Andre Miller. *Rim Shot.* Difference is, Andre Miller is the starting point guard on a playoff team, and Sergio is washing cars in Spain somewhere.

Sergio is washing cars in Spain somewhere.

While Sergio is nowhere near as good as Maris dreams he is, he is signed at Real Madrid. The real question, however, is if he is going to be Real's primary backup PG or 3rd behind Llull this year. What's almost certain however, is that he will not be starting...

Hope Sergio does well. I thought that he would flourish in NYC!

Jeff Pendergraph is an expensive, fat, slow, lazy guy with no ambition who disappears in the playoffs every year?

I don't understand this at all.

I do. It was Maris's best attempt at a Mixum post.

MIX-ING at it's best.

At 10:17 into this 47-minute tape, Rice says that everyone passed McMillan's running test, so the team is skipping certain drills to get into shape. This gives them a head start over most years.

Everyone that took it. Players with 4 or more years were voluntary, and injured players didn't run either. Basically, the guys who will be depended on the most didn't have to take the test.

Thanks for the lowdown, Sonny.
