Honestly just reading through parts of it now, he still has some areas for improvement:
What does your normal game day meal look like?
I wake up and my chef will make me some oatmeal or a bowl of fruit, a smoothie. Then I go about my day. I get to the arena for shootaround, if I’m still kind of hungry I’ll get a cup of fruit. Then I won’t really eat again until it’s almost game time, 5:30 or 6:00.
It's hard to gauge how big this meal may be etc and when he's waking up... but a decent pre-game meal would ensure he's sufficiently stocked in terms of glycogen and energy etc.
I get he's getting paid a bucket load in comparison to us... but the fact he needs a chef to make him oatmeal
I’m definitely a lot less strict. I’ll still eat fairly clean, but I’ll have cheat days on Sunday because Monday is my conditioning day to burn off whatever I just ate and not feel horrible about it.
So he adds a conditioning day to 'undo' the cheat day. Groan.
Then talks about trying to take care of himself and his body... the irony.
We had a chef [with the Pistons in 2012], but they weren’t cooking what we eat now. It was buffet style, soul food every day.
. I know part of it is providing people food they'll actually eat, but that's just...
In the weight room I do a lot of legs. Toe raises, squats, deadlifts, single leg RDL’s [Romanian deadlifts]. Anything to do with legs, I’m all over it.
Toe raises... laugh.
