Saw it's the NBA equipment manager conference in Chicago. Let me tell you...
Equipment managers are every team's unsung heroes.
They help players in every way and, often, put them above their own families.
Lot of respect for the guys who helped me with everything from washing my jersey and keeping my favorite sneakers at the ready, to making sure my wife found her seat OK and that my charity event went off without a hitch.
The amount of work put in, vs the amount of financial reward, is staggering. So, appreciate y'all!
Just want to thank the @NBAEMA_ guys from the @ATLHawks and @spurs for taking great care of the laundry for @AuburnMBB the last few weeks! Equipment managers are one big family!
Today we join the NBA in honoring veterans 🇺🇸🇨🇦 Equipment Managers supported the #HoopsforTroops League Initiative Shooting Shirts worn 11/8 - 11/11 to highlight the NBA’s program supporting active & retired service members and their families.
