TENTANG EPISODE INI
At ten years old, Larry Smith was simulating full basketball games alone at the park, imagining himself in Madison Square Garden. Thirty-five years later he'd walk through a set of double doors in Arizona and find the 2009 NBA All-Star court sitting inside a private home.Larry is a performance coach and the founder of Club Larry in Phoenix. He's trained Devin Booker, Tyson Chandler, Eric Bledsoe and 49ers receiver Deebo Samuel Sr., and in the final months of Muhammad Ali's life he worked with The Greatest four to five days a week. Getting there meant selling his only car for $1,200 to buy a $350 one-way ticket, walking on at Cincinnati and never playing a minute, and sleeping in the back of a Ford Expedition the night before a 150-man tryout.He and Seth Pepper get into the thing Larry was doing for decades without a name for it: running the simulation. Seeing the room before you're in it. Making the team normal before anyone picks you.
