Since the start of the NBA season the entire nation, Milwaukee especially, has been buzzing about Bucks rookie Brandon Jennings. I can truthfully say that I was on the bandwagon as soon as the “Young Buck” was drafted, but I didn’t expect him to be playing as well as he has so far this year.
I have heard or seen countless interviews with and about Jennings and one thing seems to be very clear about him. He understands that in order for him to be successful he needs to put in the extra work. Here is a guy who was at the top of the rankings for his high school class, played a year at the highest level in Europe, and was a top 10 NBA draft pick, but he’s still working his tail off to get better.
Jennings, along with Bucks Assistant Kelvin Sampson, gets to the arena 3-4 hours before the tip to get extra work in. He makes between 200 to 300 floaters each day. That’s right, MAKES 200-300.
There are no secrets for success. Work hard, work smart, be dedicated and good things will happen.
