LeBRON JAMES' hips don't lie? Is that why RAJON RONDO stays close? 
But LeBron is no SHAKIRA - his hips may lie, launching into a deceiving move on the court...
Besides, Rajon should aim for "the shoulder of giants", not...
==========
More "rond" than RAJON RONDO is SHAKIRA:
"Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll (play /ʃəˈkɪərə/,[2] Spanish: [t͡ʃaˈkiɾa]; born February 2, 1977),[3] known professionally as Shakira, is a Colombian singer-songwriter who emerged in the music scene of Colombia and Latin America in the early 1990s.

"Dorincard: Blogger Dorin C is a stamp and postcard fanatic, and luckily he's more than pleased to write prolifically and charmingly about his obsession. He has a particular bent for stamps with wild mammals on them, but his blog demonstrates an affinity for stamps of all forms and backgrounds, as long as they offer a special narrative that's worth sharing with his readers.

    Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
    and interests he likes to share.
    His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
    postal system) shines through.
    He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
    Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
    possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
    Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
