While the Warriors upgrading from Harrison Barnes to Kevin Durant has generated attention for other reasons, it has another benefit that could fundamentally change the team and possibly the league as a whole. The Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, Durant and Green lineup (nickname pending) is one of the first in NBA history where all five players can successfully grab and go. Sounds fun on paper, but it could become truly revolutionary if the coaching staff and players adjust to what it means.

TJARKS: I love watching Steph shoot as much as the next person, but the point guard position has become a bit overrated in the modern NBA. Teams don't win titles with point guards as their best player often. I'd rather have George and an average point guard than Steph and an average small forward.

So you’ve been the Nuggets trainer for 20 years. You’ve trained some big boys–Kenyon Martin, Andre Iguodala, Kenneth Faried come to mind. Who is pound for pound the strongest player you’ve been exposed to?

Earl Boykins.

If you’re talking about pure strength pound for pound, not even close. He bench pressed 315 pounds and the dude weighed 150. Dude was a genetic freak.

Boykins height and weight is officially listed at 5’5”, 133 lbs.

What kind of guy is J.R. Smith? He seems like a dude who shows up to the area five minutes before game time, downs a Whopper in the parking lot, and just shoots.

Firstly, if I had the athleticism and the skills of JR, I would also just show up to a game and shoot. The thing about JR is that he’s a fierce competitor. People will say he’s not a competitor, but he’s a warrior. I’m so incredibly proud of him for winning a championship.

We had a rotation we were doing, and with the single leg press, this is the honest to God truth, he’s doing a single leg press with six 45’s on each side (585 pounds). Mind you, this is coming back from a meniscus tear and it was like 3 weeks post surgery. Now I didn’t load the weights and if I did I’d be fired so quickly. So I go up to him and I’m like ‘JR, dude what the hell are you doing?’ and he looked at me casually and said ‘I just wanted to see how strong my leg was.’

So I go ‘let me see you jump,’ and he takes off, and I’m like ‘really dude? It’s like, 40+ inches. 21 days post-surgery. Just a genetic freak. Supremely gifted.
