Lockout won't hurt players, Horry says

BEIJING - Seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry, who experienced the previous NBA lockout in 1998, said he is not concerned about the players during the current stalemate as it is easy for them to stay in shape through professional guidance and exercise.

He made the comment during his NBA Cares trip to Beijing on Thursday.

"Now it is actually easier for them (the players), because they do clinical stuff by themselves. I think they will be fine. The guys are professional now. There are so many things out there. They have got nutritional advice, they know what to eat, and they have a lot of facilities to work out in," he said.
