Well, in the NBA world its a little different. Although players are not allowed to work out as a team the worlds best players are staying in shape in a new way. Summer Leagues!
That's right summer leagues, the same summer league team that you may be playing on right now. Imagine your team picking up LeBron James for 1 game. That would be the game where you would set the best screens ever, and rebound with the aggression that your old coach wanted you too...but please just make sure you pass the ball to LBJ.
Several top players are convening on the hottest local basketball circles and showing off their skills to keep in shape and to ultimately give back to the community. The players don't get paid to come out and risk injury in these games and no endorsement deals are going to come from dunking on a nobody, but the essential concept of "Community" is in full effect. Most of the times kids get a chance to witness their favorite player perform for free and with court side seats.
The top 2 Summer Pro-Ams in the country (Drew League-LA, Goodman League-DC) will face off on Aug 20 in DC for bragging rights.
Below are some videos from the Drew league and the NBA players that came out to show love...
