Personally, I would turn off my phone and never engage in social media again, but obviously that is not the solution. <\/p>\n<p>Isso.23: I wouldn\u2019t trade places. I have a great life, friends, work, community. My life is fulfilled. I love sports and I had known players in professional sports. Some really great guys but for most their careers are short and it\u2019s a difficult lifestyle if you are not a star, starter or long term backup. Switching cities, risk of being cut &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Steve P.: I see a lot of comments on the amount of money these players make, but it doesn\u2019t change the fact they are human beings.<\/p>\n<p>Melissa H.: Seems like maybe the Union&#8217;s job? I don&#8217;t know, these guys make around my career earnings in their first year, I think they can afford to hire someone to teach them about why they shouldn&#8217;t throw games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Friday, Celtics guard Jaylen Brown said he believes the league has not done an adequate job preparing&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":238604,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[557],"tags":[64,63,590,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-238603","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nba","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nba","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238603","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=238603"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238603\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/238604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238603"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=238603"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=238603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
