Although NBA players earn a lot of money, this is linked to their hard training day after day, according to statistics, during the regular season, a player's training time is more than 6 hours a day. The famous training maniacs Kobe, James, Jordan and others have been even longer.
So, are NBA players and stars working so hard? No, there are also "slackers" in it. Take stock of the NBA's top 5 "dead kings":
Lamar Odom
Odom's physical talent and ball dealer are top-notch, playing on the street since childhood, mixing with the "left-handed magician". However, Odom, who had some fame in high school, was not enterprising, and his academic performance was poor, so he almost did not have a university to ask for him. After being arrested for prostitution, his path to education was even more bumpy.
Finally, it was talent that overcame the inadequacy, and Odom entered the NBA, and the scenery was endless. He has won three-doubles many times and is considered the next magician. However, drug abuse in 2001 made him scandalous again. Odom's career was so bubbly, playing a little good performance, and was soon buried in negative news. After retiring from the army, he once used too much drug shock in a brothel and nearly died.
Sean Kemp
Kemp is one of the best dunks in league history, at one point being a league superstar. However, the generous salary made him gradually lose himself.
His depravity can be seen in his gradually out-of-shape stature. Not only is there a lack of personal training, a thirst for alcohol, and many in-team training camps have been absent, but a variety of reasons have been found. Once, due to the delay of his late team flight, the reason he gave was to wait in the car for his dog to wake up and feed it.
Andrew Bynum
After O'Neal left the Lakers, the Lakers cultivated Bynum, young and promising, Bynum helped the Lakers win two consecutive championships, and the young Bynum had a perfect career start. It can even be said that even if he does not improve, carrying a knee injury, it is enough to gain a foothold in the league.
However, during his recuperation, he completely fell into depravity. He once went to Australia to skydive shortly after surgery, injured bowling, and repaired his hairstyle at half-time. The training within the team is three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. It is conceivable that there is a boss like Kobe Bryant in the team, how can he tolerate him, so he was traded, and later in his career, he was also abandoned by other teams due to laziness and absence.
Ratlier Spréville
Because of his name sprewell and his tough style of playing, he was called "spree" (madman). However, I didn't expect that he really became a madman after he became famous.
The most famous incident was in 1997 when he locked his throat during an intra-team training session when he locked his throat due to dissatisfaction with the coach. For this, he was banned from the league for 62 games and subsequently traded. You can imagine how difficult it is for such a madman to discipline in the locker room, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a "villain".
Gilbert Arenas
Arenas is the greatest star in Wizards history, the big general who scored 60 points on Kobe's head that year. However, why did such a successful star retire early? Or ruined in their own hands.
Once he gambled money with his teammate Krittanton on the team's plane, and due to excessive provocation, he won a lot of Kritenton money, causing a conflict. After Critanton delayed paying off the gambling debt, the contradictions between the two intensified, and the two had a big fight in the locker room, and Arenas drew his gun on Kristanton. Afterwards, the police rushed to investigate, and indeed found a pistol in Arenas' wardrobe, and then Arenas was arrested, fined and banned, and the former great general was not majestic.
In fact, many NBA players are prone to change their personality due to "sudden wealth", become impetuous and frivolous, and if they do not wake up in time, they will not only ruin their careers, but also ruin their beautiful lives like the above five negative cases! (Zheng Xiaojun)
