Bobby Jones was drafted by the Philadelphia 76er's in 2006 after playing 3 years in the NBA he then
moved on to play pro ball in Italy. He
is now currently waiting for his chance to play in the NBA again despite the
frustration with the current NBA lockout.
Q:
How do you stay fit in the off-season?
Bobby:
I lift twice a week upper body one-day then lower body, mainly my favorite
exercises that we did in college and the NBA. I also play in a Pro Am league.
Q:
So I take it playing basketball is your favorite way to stay in shape?
Bobby:
Yes! I’m not worrying about how many calories I’m burning I’m just having fun
playing basketball and getting a workout in at the same time.
Q:
Do you think you follow a healthy diet?
Bobby:
No! (laughing)
Q: But you are an athlete! Don’t you have to eat
well in order to perform well?
Bobby:
It’s my off-season for basketball and on season for eating unhealthy. Don’t
judge me.
Q:
So junk food is your vice. What’s your
favorite?
Bobby:
Hamburgers and pizza
Q:
Good thing you workout often. What music do you listen to when you work out?
Bobby:
Lil Wayne! Especially when he’s talking trash! He gets me motivated and brings
up my energy level.
Q:
So I heard you were on 5 NBA teams in one year! What team had the hardest workouts?
Bobby:
Toronto! Other players have told me Boston & Chicago were intense.
Q:
Why?
Bobby:
Toronto had a lot of conditioning drills and full court shooting drills. Other
teams don’t really test your conditioning they just want to see if you can
shoot and play!
Q:
Do you think you can beat me one on one?
Bobby:
Who you? Nope, I can already tell you are an unstoppable force.
