"Worst" Take

To any random NBA athlete: continue to represent this...North American team?

To athletes who are retiring (or considering) after this season and are having trouble coming to terms with moving on.
Perhaps this is potentially useful; an approach I found helpful to overcome the problem was to treat moving on from sport like having someone you love, die.

Candidly, whenever I'm going through something difficult these days, I relive this final lap of the 1500m and it gets me through. My mind was a battleground of "give up" vs "keep fighting." Seems trivial but somehow thinking about it helps me stay strong.

For some reason when journalists write or reference and article that had a negative tone they always choose images of a person that subtly persuade you to create a negative impression them. Kind of pisses me off. Seems deceitful and unprofessional.
