With the pandemic suspending sporting events worldwide, athletes suddenly have tons of time on their hands. In the latest installment of our weekly NBA series, we look at how they've been keeping themselves entertained - and in shape - while self-isolating.

Bron's butt spotter

We kick things off this week with LeBron James, who teaches us never to take shortcuts with safety during squats. Not sure if his spotter's gluteal contact is correct social distancing, however.

Staying with James, self-isolation may finally be getting to him.

'Spida' throws up nothing but air

For the most part, NBA stars only allow us glimpses of the finished product, and rarely the struggle of the entire process. That's why we appreciate Donovan Mitchell's incredible package of failed trick shots.

Russ breaks a sweat in sand

We have no idea what type of workout routine this is from Russell Westbrook, but know that just watching this will leave you feeling exhausted.

Curry learns to type

Two-time MVP and three-time NBA champion Stephen Curry may possess one of the greatest shooting strokes of all time, but his keystrokes are absolutely awful.

That pace doesn't even qualify for a words-per-minute approximation.

Kuzma the artist

Speaking of strokes, Kyle Kuzma has apparently been working on his canvas game. It took a while, but we now finally understand why the Lakers refused to part with him for Anthony Davis.

Workout. Paint. Repeat

Not sure what's worse: the "Workout. Paint. Repeat" caption, or the socks and sandals combo.

DeMar's acting chops

DeMar DeRozan utilized TikTok to its full potential this week by playing the roles of both Ice Cube and Mike Epps in a recreation of the hilarious "jump" scene from "All About the Benjamins."

Unfortunately, we'll have to dock points for him not going the whole nine yards with a boat.

Meyers' new 'do

Heat big man Meyers Leonard challenged his Twitter followers this week to raise $175,000 for COVID-19 relief, and he even threw in an incentive for the $125,000 mark, promising to dye his hair in Miami's classic pink-and-blue vice motif.

Not only did his followers eclipse $125,000, but they also easily surpassed Leonard's goal of $175,000. He made sure to hold up his end of the deal.

We need to see that look on the Heat's alternate court, ASAP.
