Color is an important issue for the Brooklyn Nets—color of their players' urine to be exact. That was revealed by guard Joe Harris, who told Zach Lowe of ESPN that the organization is all eyes on the tint of their excretion to ensure that the team's players are in tip-top condition.
Every player does individual skill work before and after practices — “vitamins,” in Brooklyn's adopted Spurs parlance. Chefs prepare customized meals. The Nets will experiment with game-day Amtraks from Brooklyn to nearby cities instead of arriving late the night before. Players fill out daily questionnaires about sleep, soreness and diet. “They even track the color of your piss,” Joe Harris said.
Keeping track of one's urine's color is actually a healthy habit as it could tell how hydrated you are. In sports, being flush with fluids is important to avoid fatigue and cramping to name a few.
Hopefully for the Nets, this idea would help them avert another piss-poor campaign following a pathetic season in which the franchise finished with a 20-62 record—its worst since moving to Brooklyn from New Jersey in 2012.
