SACRFICE?!! SACRIFICE??!! What about the SACRFICE of a WOMAN?? Let's talk about "sacrifice." These are a FEW of the things a woman is sacrificing: 1. HER LIFE!! during the ENTIRE pregnancy AND childbirth! (But i guess dropping a ball in a hoop or across a line is much more important and "valuable than being fully PRESENT for the birth of the child and to support the MOTHER of the child) 2. HER body is stretched and swollen in EVERY direction 3. HER comfort 4. HER sleep 5. HER hormonal changes. 6. HER diet 7. HER mental health. PLEASE go somewhere else with that "sacrfice" NONSENSE. Shame on ALL of you that are parents, but mostly to you Jess. YOU should KNOW better.

Facts facts and facts. Green is an unstable self victimizing serial assailant who attacks people with glee but literally cries when he's held accountable. Arenas brought guns to the arena and had a pistol standoff with a teammate over money. They are THE worst athletes to take ANY life advice from. I'd say they should shut up and play but Green didn't make it to the playoffs and Arenas retired with no ring.

Athletes are a different breed of people that majority of us can’t imagine why they are super competitive.

This is definitely the reason why Lebron James ain’t thinking about retirement and Tom Brady went back to play one last season in his 40’s. Athletes becomes competitive by nature do to constant hard work they put in at the gym and in games just to get a opportunity to win one championship trophy or at least beat the athlete in the sport every season. I’m glad the birth of Ruby’s baby was at great timing where his team still have chance to stay in the playoffs 😎👍🏿
