Great read, also I had no idea Seth Jones father was an NBA player.

Love it. His mom does sound fun. Good read indeed, love how she tells him to use his legs hehehe.

The players must all pay the same guy to write these things for them or at least edit them significantly.

What Happens When Athletes Do the Sportswriting?

whole thing worth reading but the gist is basically all players' tribune articles are ghostwritten based on conversations & interviews with athletes - essentially old-fashioned profiles but written in 1st person

Awesome read!

That was the greatest! I want to meet his mom, she seems awesome.

Side note: So nice to read a Players Tribune that isn’t about someone’s addiction or their depression or mental issues. I am almost scared to click them anymore.
