Take it from an NBA player never decline mom's call
Updated | By The Workzone with Elana Afrika-Bredenkamp
When your mum calls you and you in the middle of a press conference.
The stereotypical viewpoint surrounding boys who become men is that they generally decline their mom's call when they are busy.
But one basketball player is changing the stereotype and showing us that we should never judge a book by its cover.
Professional American basketball player Bam Adebayo, who plays for Miami Heat in the NBA, is the man in the hot seat.
Besides featuring in the news for his accolades and performances, it seems Adebayo is a gentleman who makes bold moves.
In a video shared on the BBC Sports TikTok page, he was seen talking to the press.
As he answers a question, his attention is swayed by his mobile phone, and get this, he answers.
Now, that's what we call being bold. The natural thing to do in that circumstance, let's call it standard practice, is to decline. But this man has his priorities in order.
