Basketball star Andre Miller has a unique record — he has missed only three games in his 17-year-long career due to injuries. This feat, Miller told ETPanache, is because of his “clockwork like routine”.
Miller said, “I would wake, have breakfast and head to practice, which would be followed by a nap. In 20 years, I must have skipped a nap barely 10 times. I would not function without it.”
A strenuous sport like basketball puts the body through a lot, which is why during off season, Miller lets his body rest completely, a habit everyone should adopt, he said.
“While I religiously stuck to my routine, I let my body adjust and take its course at the end of the season. Even today, when I feel my body is tired, I let it rest.”
With spaces designed to raise the spirit, NBA India’s office combines a busy yet light environment.Dozens of action posters lining the walls, over 15 unique basketballs (each with their own story) and of course, a larger than life screen to watch the game, the NBA India office in Mumbai is the ultimate workspace for those who love basketball.
