Rajon Rondo: I’ve never seen anybody take care of their body like him. Rest and diet—I mean, the little cliché things—he does them all. The way he lifts, the way he goes at the weight room, the way he attacks his on-court and off-court workouts—it’s professional. Again, if you spend that type of money on your body, and when no one’s looking, you’re still doing the right thing, then you’re able to stay in shape and have the longevity to a career like his. Dropping four triple-doubles in a row? Things like that. I mean, obviously, he’s arguably the greatest player of all time. For me, I saw it every day in his regimen. He was very disciplined. He goes above and beyond what the average player—or even some great NBA players—have done that I’ve seen. Not only that, but the skill, the knowledge, and the know-how. It makes him super, upper-echelon, you know what I mean? It’s that discipline that takes you to a whole other level because these young guys coming in are more athletic and explosive. Yet, he’s still able to manipulate the game, get to his spots, and outsmart everybody. -via YouTube / November 26, 2024
