While I was watching that video, it really pushed home to me the importance of both being very flexible and stretching before strenuous activity. I know these guys go through stretching routines before games. I just wonder how flexible some of these guys are.
Not saying Luka isn’t flexible, just thinking about those stretching routines and I remember in my youth thinking these guys don’t look like they can do the “splits”. At that time I was taking Tae Kwon Do and was very flexible. I believed then that that flexibility helped me play basketball and kept me away from injury. So from that time forward, I always wondered how much flexibility factored into these guys training routines (not just stretching, but pushing the muscles to the point where they can permanently go as far as the bones will let them and then maintaining that).
