As Nike's NBA Lockout campaign goes, "Basketball Never Stops", by the way I got to get a shirt of that remind me, NBA Players have done numerous things to keep them in tip-top shape. Several players opted to spend their long off-season playing overseas. Some, like John Wall and Josh Selby, decided to play in numerous summer leagues. As for two of the the Top 3 NBA Players now, they spent their summer working out together on top of playing in numerous summer leagues.

Episode 2:
As you can see, the title of their workouts as seen in LeBron James' official Youtube channel is, Striving For Greatness. The title seems fitting for this. Two of the greatest players of the current generation working together to challenge the other and further improving their own game. They've worked on strength and conditioning in the pool, gym, and even the football field but nothing seems to replace doing individual skills training in the basketball court.
Sporting the latest in the Nike Basketball catalogue, LeBron and KD work on a variety of offensive drills to further improve their arsenal. We can see the both of them concentrating on their outside shooting ability. It's quite shocking to see that LeBron is shooting better than KD, obviously this happens in the video, it's LeBron's team who made it. Both of them seem to be ready for the grind of another season. LeBron is showing a much improved outside jumpshot and post-game while KD seems to be as good as ever.
Let's just hope the both of them can make the MVP race this season a close and exciting one. By the way, I don't expect the Thunder to win the West but I do expect the King to win a ring this season. Just sayin'.
