The Los Angeles Clippers are fully engaged in their preparations for the 2023-24 NBA season. However, this doesn’t stop them from having some fun during practice. One such instance occurred when Coach Tyronn Lue decided to have a friendly wager with his players as he attempted free throws during a practice session.
The bet was simple: if Coach Lue made both of his free throw attempts, the players would have to do more running. However, if Lue missed at least one of his shots, practice would be finished for the day. With anticipation in the air, Lue proceeded to make his first shot with ease.
Not wanting to run, the players tried everything in their power to distract the coach for the second shot. Despite their efforts, Coach Lue managed to stay focused and make the shot. The ball had to trickle in, but ultimately it meant that the players were obligated to run as a result of the friendly wager.
While the bet may have seemed like a playful way to end practice, it also served as a reminder of the importance of focus and determination in the face of pressure. With a successful free throw under his belt and a bit of fun had by all, Coach Lue likely instilled a valuable lesson in his players as they continue to prepare for the upcoming season.
