Journalist Sarah Lyall is at the NBA Rookie Transition Program, which is a series of seminars run by the players' union that aims to teach young NBA players how to adjust to life as a professional athlete.
She's live-tweeting bits of life advice from the conference, and it's hilarious. The advice the NBA players' association is giving out is a mix of platitudes, mundane observations, and actually helpful life tips. By all accounts the transition program is a great thing that helps rookies avoid the off-the-court problems of their predecessors. But it's also a relentless advice-dump.
