Cold Press Juice – The New Cornerstone of NBA Success
by Polina
The San Antonio Spurs are one of the oldest teams in the NBA that has somehow managed to fight for championships year after year in a game that emphasis young talent. Somehow, despite having one of the older rosters in the league the Spurs rank first with the least games missed to injury.
Their secret may finally be out of the bag! The answer may just be cold pressed juice.
Spurs staff creates special cold-press drinks for their players to help with fatigue and the injury process. Kawhi Leonard, who is currently having an MVP caliber season, has a custom juice made by Spurs staff named “Kawhi-Zilla”. The drink includes flavors including strawberry, lemon and chia seed. LaMarcus Aldridge, a perennial all-star has a concoction of including pineapple, orange, strawberry and spinach.
Aldridge, a perennial all-star, who came over from the TrailBlazers two years ago says his former team, “did some things for extra nutrition, but we didn’t do the whole cold-pressed juice thing like this.” The advantage of cold-press juice when compared to centrifugal juicers is that cold press juicers maintain much more of the essential nutrients. This is because cold-press juicers don’t use heat or blades which destroy the essential nutrients of the juice, but instead use pressure which maintains the integrity of these essential nutrients.
It is easy to see how the Spurs use cold-press juice as a first line of defense against fatigue and injury. Point guard Patty Mills says, “It’s nutrients, veggies, fruits, you know, to replenish what you’ve spent out on the court.”
