My son David frequently sends me sports stories that will “preach.” I don’t follow the NBA this time of year, but he sent me a nice article on how the Milwaukee Bucks are training one of their players, especially, to shoot better 3-point shots. In the following paragraph, Sullivan is the shooting coach and Antetokounmpo is the player.

Together, Sullivan and Antetokounmpo have spent hours in the gym nipping and tucking Antetokounmpo’s shot. The Bucks call their personalized exercises “vitamins” because they “take them daily.” Antetokounmpo’s vitamins include a heavy dosage of shooting.

I like the idea of calling daily exercise and training “vitamins” because they “take them daily.” By the way, as of today the Bucks have the best record in the NBA. Those daily “vitamins” must be working!

Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.  For those who find me find life and receive favor from the LORD. (Proverbs 8.34, 35, NIV, emphasis mine)

Train yourself to be godly. (1 Timothy 4.7b, NIV, emphasis mine)
