It only last about 30 minutes. Pop didn't give them anything specific. They did a variation of the weave for awhile. First it was 3 man weave. Then 4. Then the big man had to pass it a certain way to get it started. That went on for a few minutes to get them loose. Then Pop would make them inbound th ball and go the length of the court and run a few "mock" plays. Post players would flash, set some picks, pick and rolls, etc... and someone would finish.

Then he made them shoot, similar to the old "star" method. From one corner, then the bank, to the elbow, to the paint.

Most of the guys would throw it down when they got to finish. Dirk would just nonchalantly lay it in with an underhanded flick of the wrist. He and Duncan (besides Nash who can't dunk) were really the only two that didn't try and throw it down everytime.
