The talent in the NBA in this era of basketball is so far through the roof that it’s sometimes hard to fully appreciate.<\/p>\n
These dudes are just so, so, so good at this game.<\/p>\n
Sometimes, the best evidence of that shows up in weird ways.<\/p>\n
Like a post-practice video of Kevon Looney.<\/p>\n
Looney, the Golden State Warriors<\/a>‘ champion center, is now with the New Orleans Pelicans<\/a>. And he’s not a guy anyone has ever thought of as being too skilled.<\/p>\n For a center, Looney isn’t a super athletic or long player, and he isn’t known for having a great offensive game.<\/p>\n Except after a recent New Orleans practice, footage showed that Looney is an absurdly good basketball player.<\/p>\n He just doesn’t always get to break out these skills on an NBA team, where he has a very different role.<\/p>\n Check it out:<\/p>\n Two minutes of Kevon Looney absolutely cooking one on one after practice to remind you that NBA players are better basketball players than anyone you’ve ever seen pic.twitter.com\/iUCKW2hcso<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Shamit Dua (@FearTheBrown) November 25, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n This often shows up in offseason highlight videos of centers.<\/p>\n
