Jeff Teague says the workouts got easier in the NBA and he actually got hurt more than he did in college “No, they care. It’s just the way you train. Like Gil said it. I remember I got hurt because the way I started training when I got to the NBA, it was different than when I trained when I was in college. Like, I was a machine in college.” “When I worked out with them football dudes, I was a machine. As soon as I got to the league and the workouts went to more easier things, like, ‘All right, just three sets of this, get a little core’, all of a sudden I start having knee pains. All of a sudden I start having all these other things.” “Then at the end of my career, I started lifting like I did in high school and college and stuff, and I’m like, ‘Oh, I feel good.’ But my body done already had that wear and tear. It was over with.” “And now I lift like we did when I was in college. Now my knees don’t hurt. Now I feel good. And I’m like, ‘I’m 40.’ It ain’t pointless because you’re trying to be healthy forever. But while you’re in the league, that stuff do matter. I should have been lifting like I was in college.”
