Watching those videos just emphasizes how different the athletes of the past were, as compared to the athletes of the present. I understand that thats an "old" Pistol Pete, far past his NBA playing days - but man. Could you imagine Kobe or even Joe Johnson at age 50 looking that thin? The bodies are just DIFFERENT.

Pistol was reedy relative to his time as well though...

Tennis ball. Dribble a tennis ball and don't look down. Get a mirror if need be, but train your head to always look up. I used a cardboard and shoestring visor that blocked my vision below my nose.
