Dear Rajon Rondo:
I read in the Boston Globe that you were proud that you lifted weights
the morning of the Cleveland game.
I couldn't shoot for sh*t when I lifted,
no snap from 3 or (anything outside 8 feet.)
Two days off from heavy lifting always seemed to help my shooting.
Give it a try.
PS: I picked up a basketball for the first time in 5th grade,
for my elementary school's free throw shooting contest.
Made 6 straight free throws to win in front of a gym full of people.
Shooting always came easy to me, though.
-- Jammer

This is the NBA, not the YMCA. He's in shape and I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing.

This premise is a bit of a head scratcher Jammer... I shoot better when I'm high, but I'm not going send Rondo a bong or anything.

I am more concerned about Rondo;s turnovers.

You only think you shoot better because if you miss, you don't give a crap. You just laugh it off

No way bro, I'm a perfectionist, if I don't hit at least 1 in 5 shots I get pretty down on myself, herb or no..

They have studied this kind of thing - weights actually dont' have a huge negative effect for most people..
