He Wasn’t Even on the Court Last Year… Now He’s Training in L.A. Early? 🔥

The Comeback Starts Before Summer

Yo, remember when Kyle Kuzma was barely getting minutes during the playoffs? 5.8 points, 34% shooting—yeah, not exactly MVP material. But now? He’s already in L.A., sweating in June like it’s Game 7 of the Finals. I saw that headline and my brain did a double-take: Did he forget it’s still June? Nah—he didn’t forget. He remembered something way bigger.

Why Early Training Matters (Even If No One’s Watching)

Here’s the truth no highlight reel shows: real growth happens when nobody sees you work. No cameras. No social media buzz. Just sweat, sore muscles, and silence.

I’ve been there—pushing reps after school while everyone else was chilling at the court down the block. That moment of solitude? That’s where identity gets built.

Kuzma isn’t chasing likes; he’s chasing leverage. And leverage comes from consistency—not spotlight moments.

From Bench to Blueprint: A Silent Reset

Last year? He wasn’t even involved in summer workouts—at all. This year? Team setup in LA by mid-June. You don’t go from zero to hero overnight—but you can go from ‘invisible’ to ‘unignorable’ with one decision:

“I’m gonna show up—for me.”

And that shift? It changes everything.

It’s not about talent alone—it’s about intentionality.

The Real MVP Isn’t on the Stat Sheet (Yet)

People talk stats like they’re gospel—but sometimes the most important numbers are invisible:

• Hours logged alone?
• Mistakes learned?
• Trust rebuilt with teammates?
• Mindset reprogrammed?

That quiet grind is where champions are forged—not on stage, but behind closed doors.

And honestly? That kind of effort is more inspiring than any dunk or three-pointer.

So What Should We Learn From This?

The next time someone says “I’ll get serious later,” remind them: later is today’s forgotten version of you.

If Kuzma can come back harder after a rough year—why can’t we?

Whether you’re training for your dream job, your first podcast episode, or just trying to stay sharp—you don’t need permission to start now.

The court doesn’t care if you’re ready yet—only if you show up every day.

So hit reset. Lock in early. Make your own comeback story—before anyone else even notices.
