(
ThyBlackMan.com) There are only two teams left standing in the NBA as the Phoenix Suns and the Milwaukee Bucks play in the NBA Finals. Despite valiant efforts from the Clippers and Hawks, respectively, their players head into the off-season. Few professions in America get as long of a layoff from their main job responsibilities as professional athletes do, as they get months to recuperate, train, study, and most importantly, relax from a long professional sports season. The vast majority of professional athletes have off-seasons that don’t get on the radar of the public even though many athletes share parts of their off-season through social media. However, sometimes pro athletes make headlines that have nothing to do with their performances on the field, court, or rink. It is the part of being in the public eye that professional athletes must always be aware of especially as they have more time during their off-season.
