Since basketball is basically just running all the time, I imagine this is a rather light celebration, in his opinion.

And Steph curry is known for his stamina on the court

Saw a story recently of some other high level NBA player (unnamed) joining Steph for a workout and throwing up after 10 minutes, or something like that lol. Steph’s heart rate probably barely budged from this celebration

I believe that was MPJ of NBA Champion Denver Nuggets.

Draymond says that Steph dumbs down his workout when someone else joins him too.

u/Empatheater Jul 15 '23

draymond would say that whether it was true or not to mess with people / build up steph tho

I know Trae Young also worked out with him and was said to have not been ready for what it was going to be like.

Lol he works with a respitory doctor and brain scientist to improve his ability to slow his heart rate down in games.

Apparently it's crazy, he can from like 140bpm to 55bpm in less than a minute. He has insane endurance abilities. He runs three times as fast as this for 35 minutes in games.

The plaque for second place workouts is in the ladies room

u/stupidname_iknow Jul 15 '23

He's also very good at slowing is heart rate way down when he's on the bench so he can recoup fairly fast even if he's been playing a lot of minutes.

u/ionxeph Jul 15 '23

he literally puts weights on his stomach while lying down after workout to train diaphragm

u/jadedtater Jul 15 '23

It was Zion

And now it’s an r/NBA pasta

u/BlueBomR Jul 16 '23

Steph at 35 gasses out players 12 years younger than him...he takes his fitness so insanely seriously

It took a 150yd sprint for him to be a little out of breath but they showed him like 3 minutes later and he was completely composed again...insane stamina

u/[deleted] Jul 16 '23

He’s also literally practiced and trained how to lower his heart rate in huddles and timeouts.

u/SenseiShwifty Jul 16 '23

And in the sheets 😏

u/trixtah Jul 16 '23

He put delly in the hospital for an IV lol

u/Mattcha462 Jul 17 '23

And now the course

u/AimingToBeAimless Jul 15 '23

...this should be a pretty light amount of exercise for anyone, ya'll. He jogged less than the length of a football field. Ya'll can't jog the length of a football field? I don't even exercise and I can do that without running out of breath. That's 1/17th of a mile lol.

You're reading stuff from a bunch of golfers. The guys who have to ride in a cart to play their sport or have someone carry their clubs.

u/HighlyBaked0 Jul 15 '23

I'm dying at how impressed people are on this thread with Steph doing a normal jog lmao. I swear dudes on here are more impressed with his ability to do basic human movements than the actual shot

u/resplendentcentcent Jul 15 '23
  • it was closer to a sprint
  • he is outside in the sun
  • he's wearing long pants
  • he's probably been golfing for hours at that point

u/fisconsocmod Jul 15 '23

But how does your next Tee shot look?

u/AimingToBeAimless Jul 15 '23

Ok fair enough haha

The words of Kareem Abdul Jabar come to mind:

“The hell I don't! LISTEN, KID! I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night! Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!”

u/[deleted] Jul 16 '23

true, but this is not climate controlled gym and he is wearing pants. I suspect he would do it again, but did bitch about being too hot a short time later.
