Do you think pro sports people follow the news?

 Do you think they are aware of what is going on in the world?


Last night after the game:

"Where is my ball?"


“I have a ball, but I don’t know if it’s the game ball,” Antetokounmpo said. “It doesn’t feel like the game ball to me, it feels like a brand new ball. I can tell. I played 35 minutes* today, I know how the game ball felt.”
*he played 35 minutes...thirty five minutes...35 minutes...
in a 1440 minute day.
