    Corporate Knowledge

    Thursday, October 2, 2008, 11:48 AM EST [General]

     Danny and Mike often refer to the term, corporate knowledge for the Cavs.

    It's an entire thread that runs through this organization, a bedrock if you will...and this camp has been all about attention to that detail.

    I mean the most intricate details you could imagine on every single drill...heck, every single step and body angle...nothing is left uncovered.

    For the returnees, it's reinforcement of that corporate knowledge.  For the new guys, it's a seamless way to get swept right along...pretty impressive to watch frankly.

    On the floor LeBron and Z embody this, as the unquestioned leaders because of their knowledge of the corporate knowledge if you will.  Ben's right there too even though it's his first camp in Cleveland...that championship pedigree helps his quick learning curve.

    The slogan at the end of practice last season was always "1-2-3 work hard." Now it's "1-2-3 work hard, 4-5-6 championship." Stay tuned!!

    Hope to see you Saturday at the Wine and Gold Scrimmage in Akron.

    Wow! I can see myself watching the guys practice the way you described the atmosphere in the Cavs Camp! It seems like we have a really focused group of guys that know EXACTLY what the ultimate goal is.

    Hey Sailesh,



    Yes, Ben looks totally healthy, so do Andy, Z and Sasha...all 4 are running hard and cutting well.



    Body, as he is known, stayed aggressive with his usual off seasons workouts...he's always been a ferocious weight lifter, not so much heavy weights, but for basketball strength and conditioning.



    Ben used to go back to his alma mater, Virginia Union in the summers and spend time at "the cage," a 110 degree hot box, where only the strong could survive the small iron pumping environment.



    The big fella did survive "the cage" which no longer exists, giving way to a bigger weight lifting area.

    Fred,

    I can't find my shoes for the scrimmage tomorrow....and I think I lost my password for the email account.



    Thought you'd want to know.
