NBA Players to Wear "Smart Ring" Monitored by UM
Cool story, bros. The ring monitors vitals and gives an overall "wellness score" that can indicate when a player might be sick.

My question is... Maybe I am unfairly generalizing NBA players based on rumors and stories, but will the ring still work when the player takes it off to get some "strange" from a "groupie" waiting in the lobby of the Disney hotels??? :-D
It's not that you are unfairly generalizing, it's more that you are singling them out rather than noting that within professional sports it is common to man-slut.
Fair enough. All young athletes are man-sluts. I know I would have been if I had been a 25 year old millionaire with women throwing themselves at me. No judgment here! ;-)
Whaaa??? He didn't 'generalize', at all! He made a very specific comment aimed at Kobe. And yes, Kobe died a tragic death way too early in his life. Nonetheless, Fauxmo made a sweet burn worthy of praise...
Dude, thanks for trying to help, but I wasn't talking about just Kobe! You are going to get me neg-bombed back to 1950. I have known exactly one NBA player in my life, and he told me stories about teams showing up at hotels and LITERALLY 100 gorgeous women would be just waiting in the lobby to party with the players. And it was the very rare NBA player - married, single, whatever - that did NOT take advantage of this "side benefit"...
Reign man.
HAA!!! I see what you did there...
You got downvoted by someone with a stick in his ass that doesn't appreciate decent humor...
Because NBA players are that different than MLB, NFL, or NHL players? Even if this was funny, it’s 8th grade level humor. Bravo.
I'm very sorry. I hope your delicate sensibilities are able to handle this traumatic event. I also hope the stick up your butt comes loose at some point and you are able to walk normally again...
To be fair, the other leagues haven't agreed to wear the ring, so the joke wouldn't work for them.
I do remember this old SI story about athletes getting nailed with paternity suits from their . . . adventures on the road. It's not only about NBA players but they do feature prominently in the story. I don't know how much things have changed since this story was written.
Take off the wellness ring and put on the wellness cock ring for sex
This escalated with alacrity.
People 10/10 have role played with masks during this.
I'm interested to know more about what you and Mrs Wolverine Devotee do for fun ?
Cripes.
I clicked to make a semi-witty comment about U of M perfecting mood rings with advanced technological breakthroughs, only to realize I'll have to monitor it instead.
Sorry, I tried to inject a little sophomoric humor into our lives during these tense times, not knowing it would turn into a shitshow. Feel free to delete if needed!
I once was paid to wear a cock ring
This actually might be an interesting subplot. I doubt groupies will be allowed in the lobby, will that positively or negatively effect play?
Not unfairly generalizing. There are stories of NBA players having a different woman in each city. I heard it explained on the radio once from a retired NBA player (can't remember who is was). Because NBA teams fly in one day and out the next, and the season happens during the school year, it is very rare for the players' family to come with on road trips. So getting some "strange" is easy. Plus it is an accepted part of the league so none of your teammates will rat you out. Where in the MLB, a team stays for a three or four game series and it's during the summer, having family around is a lot more common. Even if it is other players' family, they may still tell your wife what's going on.
All these people lining up for the Government to track their every move...Stupid.
I would guess they already have cell phones.
Murdered by words ;)
I'd love to wear a smart ring opposed to a smart shitty looking band for health and wellness monitoring.
Hopefully they will take these rings off while practicing and playing games? I have heard of more than anecdotal evidence of hand injuries getting a ring caught on the rim.
