I think that the that you&#8217;re an athlete should prevent you from saying anything. On the other hand, it doesn&#8217;t make you an opinion leader. As for me, I don&#8217;t like keeping things to myself. If you see something, you should talk and work it out. I like taking a stand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p> \t<strong><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Would you recommend your son to be a pro basketball player?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"> \t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">It&#8217;s kind of the biggest question.
