A lesson for kids: You don’t have to be a phenomenal athlete to be a phenomenal basketball player. However, if your vertical leap does more closely resemble that of a hippo than Zion Williamson, you ought to consider studying and mimicking the shooting form of former Duke basketball player and 13-year NBA veteran J.J. Redick.
A lesson for 30-somethings: You don’t have to accept the notion that your athletic prime is in the past. However, if your gut does now more closely resemble a keg than a six-pack, you ought to consider drawing inspiration from the work ethic of Redick.
