I understand that but it's their career. Of course they're going to get in gym. How is that being a sicko?
Some people are obsessed with what they do, it's their passion, some people see it as a means to an end. Sickos are the first one.
Is Ayton a sicko? Dude was balling out at LA Fitness with some community college dudes recently.
I don’t want to start shit, but he is almost certainly not a sicko.
If he was a sicko, he would have gotten a full max contract on day one and there wouldn't be an entire thread devoted to him and his deficiencies.
Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.

Ayton is a reverse sicko. His play often makes me nauseous.

So you’re confirming iLL’s original point? That being in the gym does not = sicko?

A “sicko” is someone who eats, sleeps, and breathes hoops. Not someone whose coach has to remind them to work out over the summer or who consistently marvels at how hard the real sickos actually work.

We've got the shortest and longest wingspans of the top shot blockers in the league.

I think the colors pop a lot more on the real thing than on the mockups we saw. I'm not that crazy about the white basketball, but I think the rest of it's pretty decent.

I think they’re keeping the black jersey from last year

Yeah, I’m glad it’s not as blue of a purple as I had feared.

Good for Ayton to get some reps in with Gordon.

I’m definitely going to look out for those games. I want to see Ayton play FIBA basketball.

Maybe EG will show DA that his heart has been in Phoenix all along as well.
