Tuesday Practice Report -- Rudy's Got Something Up His Heel
by Ben. on Jan 20, 2009 1:29 PM PST
84 comments
What's the Spanish phrase for "dunk contest champion?" When I arrived at practice, Rudy was showing off one of the most popular soccer tricks around -- the rainbow -- a move where you roll the ball back against your heel and then flick it over your entire body. Here's what it looks like.
So I walk into the gym and see Rudy (in a group with Coach Monty, Travis and Nic) shooting his post-practice shots and rainbowing a few times. He then pantomimed catching his own alleyoop pass off of a backheel rainbow and throwing down a two handed reverse slam. Um... please do that in the dunk contest. Please. That would be sick. I give it a 10!
I think we might have underestimated Rudy as he was also kicking the ball from the free throw line off the backboard, perhaps setting up another soccer-inspired alley-oop look.
Not to be outdone, Sergio sent a laser volley from halfcourt that looked like it would find the bottom corner against most keepers. Crazy Spaniards. With their ...crazy... Spanish... skills.
Here's the rest of your practice report.
Nate's Remarks
If Nate says the words "deep post position" one more time I might completely lose my mind. Adding to the 25 times he said the words yesterday he said that phrase about 235 times today. But let's just say that the message got through to me even though I'm totally sick of it. I have a good feeling Greg Oden feels the same way.
Nate also continues to harp on "carryover" from Greg and told reporters that he advised Greg to look at his gameday routine yesterday to see if he could find anything that helped get his energy going. He was happy with how Greg "played with his feet" ... being active, quick and rotating well.
Nate said Batum will probably get the defensive matchup against LeBron, which should come as no surprise. However, he said it will depend on matchups and that Brandon might end up checking him if LeBron is guarding Brandon on the other end.
Nate talked at length about his experiences with LeBron in the Olympics, marvelling at LBJ's use of a personal trainer, disciplined weightlifting routine, etc. Nate called out LeBron, Kobe and Jason Kidd as the 3 that impressed him last summer with their dedication.
As far as injuries go, pretty much everyone was back at practice, Blake was in the building but I don't think he was going through the drills. When questioned about Martell's timeline, Nate got a little bit dodgy... so in Nic we Trust.
Nate's thoughts on Obama: "the future is going to be bright, I think everybody is looking for change."
Bayless's 3s
After practice, Bayless was working on his 3 point stroke, first with passes from Sergio and then with passes from assistant Joe Prunty. Prunty is not a guy that I've written a lot about but his joy for the game came out today at practice. The kind of coach you get the feeling you could call at 2 AM to shoot extra jumpers and he would be fully dressed and at the gym in less than 15 minutes, ready to go. Anyway, he was keeping track of Jerryd's jumpers as he rotated around the 3 point line, shooting 5 shots from each of 5 spots. Jerryd's total tally according to Prunty: 52 for 75. JB must have started slow because the final round of 25 that I watched, he hit 20.
Brandon on LeBron
Sports Illustrated is back in town again as they follow LeBron around the country or something. Anyway, this led to an extended series of questions to Brandon about LeBron. Brandon said that LeBron is "one of the best straight up defenders in the game" -- by that he meant LeBron moves his feet and possesses quickness,and doesn't over-rely on getting physical with the man that he's guarding. Brandon had about 5 minutes worth of nice things to say about LeBron (no exaggeration) and said that, if he could take anything from LeBron's game, "I'll take his body" because "nobody physically matches up with him."
Brandon was also asked about the inauguration. Brandon said he watched with his son and "was wishing I could be there." Normally a rambunctious speaker, when talking about Obama, Brandon's voice dropped a few octaves, quieter, gentler, almost as if he was talking to his son. I can't say either way if this was intentional but I take it as a sign that Brandon holds the new President in the highest regard.
Greg
Greg was also asked whether he saw the inauguration this morning. He said "I woke up and saw probably like five words of it..... then I woke up again." Greg is too funny sometimes.
Holdover Note from Last Night
There's a TV crew from Indiana in town doing a piece on Greg Oden. They interviewed Nate, LaMarcus, Greg and Brandon. Brandon mentioned last night that Greg "has a high IQ which people don't see" sometimes and also that he is generally really happy to see Greg step up like he did last night, because it makes Brandon's life easier.

Agreed
The winner is usually someone who does something completely new, and nails it. Rudy using his soccer skills is a stroke of genius.
Only problem: while I appreciate Ben’s getting us a sneak preview of what Rudy is (likely) planning, I fear that this will spoil the element of surprise. So all of you: MUM’S THE WORD!!

That's what I was gonna say
I was just hoping Rudy wouldn’t make us feel bad for him, but if he pulls off some futbol-basketball hybrid dunks, that’d be pretty damn awesome. Bump it off his head, off the backboard, nice reverse, BOOM, 9s and 10s.
That’s the thing— he has to be TRICKY, and GIMMICKY. Stuff that has been well thought of in advance. He can’t Tyrus Thomas/Rudy Gay it and just go and wing it because you’re amazingly athletic.
He’s definitely the underdog, which is cool… no one is expecting much from him. If he pulls the kicky crap, that’d give him a chance.

He can't be any worse than Dwight.
Seriously. That dunk was basically a failed attempt from inside the FT line. We’ve seen people just from further back and actually, you know, dunk it.
BUT he has a SUPERMAN CAPE. I GIVE IT A 10!!!!!!!
Granted, Dwight had some sick dunks, that just wasn’t one of them.

Dwight Howard was amazing last year!!
Yeah, the “Superman” wasn’t even a real dunk but he got up so high and made it so fun that it was definitely a 10. He also did two other dunks that no one else had ever done. The one where he threw it off the backboard twice isn’t one that many guys in the league can do.
I think Rudy has some showmanship qualities so he could surprise everyone.

A lot of it was just his showmanship. But also, we’re not used to such a big guy pulling off a dunk like that. I mean, come on: in person, it must have been amazing to see that huge body take off near the foul line like that.

Yeah...we've been hearing from everybody how he's just not explosive enough
And i agree that he does not have the extreme athleticism that the other competitors often have, but on the flip side just doing something new, being creative and being emotional/a showman does a lot more for you now. And Rudy certainly has those qualities in spades
Rooo-D!

This is why i voted for him
crafty spaniards, and their crafty tricks.
Hmmm.. maybe we should keep the rest of the dunks a surprise, because it won’t be nearly as cool if everyone knows what Rudy is going to be trying to do before he does them.. Either that or once again set up a fanpost to offer suggestions..

That's so crazy
I woke up after one of those REALLY realistic dreams, where it feels like it had already happened. In the dream, Rudy won the dunk contest, one of the maneuvers was the “rainbow kick-alley oop” and one of the others was one that translated to “little daddy” where he kicked the ball off the backboard and dunked it.
Also, in my dream I was watching the last bit of the all star game where it gets competitive. East was ahead and Roy was on the floor, did good things but still looked like his hammy was bothering him.
Weird huh?

Unless an injury absolutely forces you to not participate how do you withdraw? Especially after being selected by fans? All Rudy has to do is find a way to win the dunk contest that has nothing to do with actual dunking. Wait a second…what was Canzano’s proposal again?

Ben...
you know how they have National Take Your Child To Work day?
Maybe we could pull that card and I could go to one of these practices with you, only as your nephew or something. Would we (ahem…I) even have a chance at getting through the front door?
I would love to get a glimpse at the inner workings. I swear I won’t be a nuisance or even say anything without first being spoken to. I’ll just sit back and mind my own. I’ll even bring hot coffee and doughnuts.
Seriously… even if you can’t (or won’t) do this (one small, itsie-bitsie thing) for me, it would be a freakin’ awesome “prize” to give away to a lucky BEdger (if the Blazers Brass would allow such a thing)… I’m sure everyone would be as stoked as I would be to go along with you.
Can you at least ask? It can’t hurt to ask, right? After all, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. When you’re talking to KP or the PR/Media Relations person maybe just slip it in at the end… say somethin’ like, “There’s this thing maybe we could try… a favor, of sorts… could you help me out ?(this is a crucial step… make sure to ask for help…. people love helping others!) Could I bring my nephew along? He’s got a big heart… a great kid. Could we try that out?” and then see what happens.
You know my email. Call me back, doggy!

Roy is going to oop is to Rudy from half court. Meanwhile, Sergio will have snuck in wearing sunglasses and a hoody and he will be somewhere in the 200 level section. Sergio and Roy will both toss passes to Rudy who will do a backflip, catch both passes, and throw them both down.
