Clippers superstar power forward Blake Griffin spent much of the summer working on various aspects of his game to improve his performance. Many of the workouts he did had nothing to do with basketball.
"Did a lot of yoga, did a lot of swimming workouts, tried to get off the treadmill, tried to get off the court a little bit for conditioning," Griffin said at a recent practice. "... I did soccer workouts, went and did some track workouts, boxing. I mixed it up."
Griffin also dabbled with handball, training with legend Timothy "Timbo" Gonzalez at the West 4th Street handball courts in New York City.
