Music makes the world a better place.
To athletes on every level, the proper pregame listening experience is just as important as the shoot around, or pregame ankle tape.
Music from certain artist may actually help some players like J.R. Smith play better.
According to some number and date crunching by kenny Ducey of Hastag Important, the music of Lil’ Wayne drives JR Smith to a better place on the court.
Weezy is so important to Smith’s play, that the shooting guard actually plays better after the rapper releases a new album or mixtape.
Ducey couldn’t guarantee J.R. listened to these albums and mixtapes before he played in his next games, but came to the conclusion that Smith has a penchant for going off after new music from Tunechi.
