In the meantime take a minute to learn a great warm-up drill with Lakers forward Larry Nance Jr.!
The NBA’s first superstar was a Laker. Hall of Famer George Mikan led the Lakers to their first five championships and was heralded by many as one of the NBA’s first dominant big men. He was the center and centerpiece of the champion Minneapolis Lakers and Mr. Basketball could rebound, pass and score inside like few others could. He still ranks fifth in points per game in Lakers history (23.1 PPG) and third in rebounds per game (13.4 RPG).
Want to rebound and lay it up inside like one of the greats? Try the Mikan Drill. Nance will show you how it’s done.
This drill is a great warmup to start any practice or shootaround with. In it, you’ll work on developing quick feet, while strengthening your inside scoring and rebounding. It is a drill that is regularly incorporated into basketball players’ warmup routines.
