HOUSTON -- As reporters were led into Rockets practice on Tuesday, Sam Dekker wore what looked like sunglasses as he attempted jump shots. But it wasn’t some new swag the Rockets' second-year forward was trying on for looks, it’s part of the advanced technology his team is using to get better.
The strobe glasses have been used by other players such as Stephen Curry and Kawhi Leonard to improve hand-eye coordination.
Now the Rockets have bought in. James Harden took a few shots with the glasses and Patrick Beverley was dribbling a basketball while trying to catch a tennis ball.
