In this verse I get back in the booth w/ another good friend and fierce competitor in Chris Babb. The former Iowa State 🌪 has played 10 yrs professionally w/stops in the G-League (2x), 🇩🇪 (2x), 🇷🇺 (2x), 🇹🇷, 🇬🇷, and most recently 🇮🇱. Where he is having his best season averaging 18.1 PPG, 51% FG, 38% 3FG (8.3/GM), 84% FT, 2.9 AST & 1.1 STL. He was voted an Israeli All-⭐️ along wit finishing top 3 in MVP voting.

Like other guest in this season, we zeroed in on how Chris took care of his body throughout his career and how that continues to evolve as he gets older. We take a look at what adjustments he has made at each stop and in each country. We take a look at his mental fortitude and approach to the details of what works best for him and so much more.

It says a lot to have your best season overseas in year 10 at age 32, it’s not a fluke, just concentrated work. Finally, he delivers some great insight and vulnerability about how important confidence is and making the art of taking care of your body a habit/lifestyle.
