Rondo's late shooting woes can be attributed to President Obama

Shaquille O'Neal provided a very strange culprit for his former teammate's shooting woes: President Barack Obama. According to an excerpt from his new book, Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo's ongoing reluctancy to shoot stems from a light jeering he got from the President during a visit with the team.

 

As O'Neal writes,

 

...The President turns to Ray, points at Rondo, and says, “Hey, Ray, why don’t you teach this kid how to shoot?” Everyone starts laughing.

KG told me he saw the look on Rondo’s face and the kid was devastated, embarrassed.

Obviously, Rondo is not a shooter and there were probably other reasons why he shot poorly, but I thought it was interesting.
