First Child: NBA Playoffs

Rudy Gobert, a seriously important part of the Minnesota Timberwolves who is paid millions of dollars to keep other large human beings from scoring in basketball, might miss Game 2 of the playoffs against the defending champion Denver Nuggets because his first child is about to be born.  I weighed in on this culture change a year ago. For most of human history, husbands have had everything to do with the beginning of the baby process and absolutely nothing to do with the ending.  They are symbolic, not necessary.

Update: Well, they won anyway, and won big, so I guess Rudy gets the best of both worlds.
