We picked up a nice win last night over the Bobcats at the Forum. It was a much needed win. I've had quite a few people send me emails or comments asking the difference between the NBA and college or what NBA practices are like.
Well I normally get to the gym at 8:45 and do some shooting before practice. I also stay after to do some more work so I don't really get home until about 2:15-2:30.
The differences between the NBA and college is pretty big IMO, outside of the obvious size, speed stuff.. One of the big things is that the college game is more physical on the perimeter than the NBA. In college you can handcheck, bump, hold, etc. on the perimeter. Those are called everytime in the NBA, I've picked up my share of fouls trying to break the habit. Another big difference is the defensive 3 second rule, personally I love this because it opens up the lane for drives :). In college guys can just stand in the paint and try to pick up charges right under the rim. Also when you run pick and rolls the roll man is rarely open because guys are all packed in the lane, NBA game is more open.
