Rajon Rondo Examines Stat Sheet, Does Not Like What He Sees

Trevor Ariza Does A Pretty Damn Good R. Kelly Impression
Washington Wizards swingman Trevor Ariza recently had some free time on his hands. Like any bored person does, Ariza decided to entertain himself by dressing up like R. Kelly and making a few videos of himself lip-synching to one of Kelly's songs....
