Hey Ballers,

It’s Basti and Benji.

You definitely didn't expect us to come in this clutch with our second newsletter, right? 😉 

On today’s game plan we’ve got:

• 🔥 Who’s Ballin?

• 🔍️ BBB Udpates

• 💥 Drill Of The Month

Let the game begin!

🔥 Who’s Ballin? 🔥 

NBA Cup ✔️ 

Christmas Games ✔️ 

With the NBA season moving fast, trades going down, and teams fighting for wins, it’s time for an NBA update.

👑 More records for the KING

LeBron James has surpassed six-time NBA MVP Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most minutes played in league history. Furthermore, he has entered as the 13th player the prestigious 10,000-point club for the Lakers.

Seems like King James just won’t stop breaking records.

💥 Transactions

Nets on the move! The Brooklyn Nets have sent De'Anthony Melton to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Dennis Schroder and draft considerations.

Plus, they acquired Maxwell Lewis, D'Angelo Russell, and draft considerations from the Los Angeles Lakers for Shake Milton and Dorian Finney-Smith.

🥊 Ant vs. SGA 

The Minnesota Timberwolves, who have won three straight games, are facing the Oklahoma City Thunder, who were hoping to extend their winning streak to 11 games.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has averaged 33.5 points and shot over 55% from the field in his last ten games.

🏆️ Emirates NBA Cup  

The Bucks have become the 2024 NBA Cup Champs.

Giannis and Dame were on a mission to get a chip! Happy to see Dame proving haters wrong and finally winning a trophy (even if it’s not the trophy he really wants).

Darvin Ham seems to be a cheat code when it comes to the NBA Cup. Undefeated and 2x Cup Champ. Salute!

🚀 BBB Updates 🚀

🏀 Drill Of The Month 🏀

We all fear this moment.

Whether it happens when driving to the basket, landing on someone's foot, or simply getting crossed over to another planet.

Here is our easy BBB ankle training plan that will give you bulletproof ankles:

Warm-Up

• Warm up with five minutes of rope skipping.

• Go into a lunge position and raise the heels of your front foot. Hold this position for 30 sec. Then switch legs. Repeat twice.

Workout:

• Stand on one foot and turn your head from side to side (for pros: close your eyes) | 2 sets of 30 seconds (per leg)

• Go on the ball of your foot and turn your head from side to side (for pros: close your eyes) | 2 sets of 30 seconds (per leg)

• Do skater jumps from side to side and try to land on the ball of your landing foot | 3 sets of 8 sets (per leg)

Try to do each exercise with good quality to increase your ankle strength. 💪 

Cool down:

• Cool down with some static stretching.

• Recovery meals with carbs and lots of protein.
