Greg Oden says him and Michael Beasley used to stay in and drink Hennessy on their off days with the Heat in 2014:
“I was scared of the city. I gave myself one day of the week… I rarely went out…. I wasn’t going to f*ck this up. They just got two championships. I know y’all met with Beasley before and I don’t think he told y’all but sh*t when we had off days me and that MF sat in his house or my house just drinking bottles of Hennessy. We not going to get in trouble again. He already had his first stint here. And I was just happy to get another opportunity so I’m not going to f*ck this up. We ain’t gonna go out or be seen out.”

That feeling when your breathing goes weird like 3 minutes into a run… tight, rushed, like you can’t settle. Most people think their fitness is bad in that moment. I used to think the same. But half the time, it wasn’t my lungs… it was the rhythm.
Look at those boxes in the image. If you’re trying to run easy but your breathing is already closer to that 2:1 or even 1:1 pattern… you’re basically turning an easy run into something harder without realizing it. You feel out of breath not because you’re unfit, but because your breathing is out of sync with your pace.
I’ve had runs where I slowed down a bit and just focused on hitting a 3:3 or 2:2 rhythm… and suddenly everything felt smoother. Same route, same day, but way less struggle. It’s weird how much that small adjustment changes the whole run.
Some runners never think about breathing at all and still do fine. Others need that rhythm to stay controlled. But if your runs always feel harder than they should… it might not be your lungs. It might just be how you’re breathing
