Thanks to an alert blog reader who isn’t suffering from the post-Christmas blahs. He gets credit for an assist for sending along this link to an interesting New York Times story on the Mark Price Shooting Lab. Price is the former Georgia Tech and NBA guard known for his sweet stroke. Price calls his lab the “A.A. of shooting.” He’s there to help any player who has lost touch with the rim. And Price has opened up his toolbox to work on some famous clients.
An excerpt:
The lab’s most renowned problem case was Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo, whose transcendent 2009-10 season was in small part a result of Price’s handiwork. Rondo arrived with a host of maladies – a flying elbow, which he neglected to keep tucked in; imbalance because of poor foot placement; and a habit of bringing the ball too far back before launching.
