BTW, it apparently took a long time for Porzingis to get this diagnosis, but a POTS-literate doctor could have diagnosed him in 10 minutes with a blood pressure cuff, a stopwatch, and a wall. It's called the NASA lean test and it is woefully underutilized.

Giunge notizia che, nei pressi di Terni, un pullman di supporters della squadra di basket di Pistoia, reduce dalla vittoria in quel di Rieti, sia stato oggetto di un lancio di sassi di grandi dimensioni.
Risulterebbe morto il secondo autista colpito in pieno da un sasso.
Un secondo Sasso avrebbe preso in pieno anche l'autista ma il parabrezza ha resistito.

🎉 Celebrate the small wins!

🏀 Before teaching my inclusive HIIT class at the Early Learning Center in Malden, I saw that kids’ hoop and my Boston basketball roots kicked in! I turn 51 in a few days, but I still had to test my skills.

👏🏽Gave myself three chances after years of not playing... and sank it on the third try!

Always find time to play and SMILE! 😅
