Playing basketball for the NBA can be very physically demanding on a player. The professional ball players have to be in optimal physical condition while theyre playing, and even in off-season. This means that they have to keep up their healthy diet and exercise regime even when they are on vacation from playing. And the players usually do this, too, because they know that if they pig out and become sedentary during off-season, then it will be extremely difficult when they return to camp. They would have to work twice as hard in order to get their bodies back into good enough shape to play a good game. Obviously, most NBA players realize the importance of maintenance year around because they are more apt to get hurt if they are not in the best shape possible. This alone is a motivating factor for many of the players. Because of course they want to play to win and live up to their potential. They also want to have the optimal amount of energy needed to sustain such a physically demanding job. Also, staying in shape makes an NBA player more likely to help his team make it to the play-offs and even win the championship.
The Detroit Pistons are in really excellent condition....
