<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Anyone that's been on the roads in Michigan over the last few days knows this much is true. It's slippery outside. From the roads to the sidewalks, the ice and snow has sure made it slick outside. Along the same lines, there have been some basketball players that have been slippery inside. When I describe a basketball player as "slippery", I generally mean they find open spaces and prove to be very tough for defenders to stay in front, or even cause chaos on defense. So while it sure is slippery outside, the athletes below have been slippery inside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1434240"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Sometimes when you're walking or driving through ice, you can sort of steer around it or sidestep it.
