Aloha,

Rui is taking an unusual approach to training this summer. He is training with Sumo wrestlers. That might seem peculiar but there are
some things that Hachimura could take from sumo training that could help him on the court. Not only are sumo wrestlers some of the strongest athletes in the world, but they are very good with their hands which could help Hachimura when battling in the paint. Additionally, sumo wrestling requires quick feet and proper footwork, not to mention great burst and explosion, all things that could translate. Rui is already one of the strongest forwards in the league. While big strong players like Steven Adams and the Joker are a challenge, they are nothing compared to a 400 pound Sumo Wrestler. lol.
