Dr JtK apparently not just a Covid specialist but also a general physiology specialist - a medical polymath

I’m sure there are 0 training improvements that a guy who chugs pitchers of Shirley temples and reportedly hates to practice could make

Tweet probably still isn’t good
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

Guess everyone else has their own logic they follow.

1. Top athlete who has top training staff and equipment, but doesn't put the work in.

2. Physically incapable of having stamina.

Feel like it's a more tortured path to take option 1 than option 2.

Not sure I've ever heard his work ethic slammed. Dudes a goof, though, and for sure has some bad body language which I wouldn't disagree with affecting performance.

He has changed his Twitter name to Joel “Troel” Embiid

He's back. Ready to put some hard work into that twitter game. The Zen Buddhist approach to (sports) science is to first condition the mind as the matrix of all reality, lest we fall prey to the earthly illusions of our decaying bodily prison. Through a series of simulated twitterverses, he can transcend as the ghost in the machine, and become a master troll, on and off the court.

Some good points in here. Agree that Jo could be in better shape and his conditioning is not ideal. Also agree that Joel’s conditioning is like the 28th biggest problem with the team and would be 83 percent less of an issue by fixing like 9 of the 27 more pressing problems with this team.
I know what you're asking yourself and the answer is yes. I have a nick name for my penis. Its called the Octagon, but I also nick named my testes - my left one is James Westfall and my right one is Doctor Kenneth Noisewater.

Not great. I would describe myself as more of a Sixers FO hater than a Jimmy stan.

Bad missed FT too

On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?
