Vitaly Potapenko shares his gameday routine with SUPERSONICS.COM:

8:00 - My alarm goes off and I wake up to eat a big, healthy breakfast.

9:15 - I head to KeyArena for a workout.

10:00 - Shootaround time.

12:00 - After working out again, I get a massage.

12:30 - Lunch time. My game-day meal includes lots of pasta, chicken, fruits and vegetables.

2:00 - I take a two-hour nap and then get ready for the game. I never shave or cut my nails on a game day.

4:00 - I start playing my music and head for the arena.

6:00 - Time to stretch, work out and warm up on the court.

7:00 - GAME TIME.

9:30 - I help teammates with postgame workouts, stretching, etc.

10:00 - Following some games, I eat dinner out. One restaurant where I really like to eat is Wild Ginger in downtown Seattle. After other games, I just pack up at the arena and try to be home by 11 p.m.
