The players are who the fans come out and see but it takes more than them to pull off a successfully run basketball game. It takes a staff performing various jobs for things to run smoothly and we usually don’t notice them working. This is one of those times where we can’t ignore someone doing their job.
In a FIBA World Cup qualifier featuring Cape Verde and Nigeria, a floor cleaner went above and beyond to put some showmanship in their work.

It looks impressive and all but the entire point of cleaning the floor is to clean the sweat off the floor and not only did he use his hair to wipe the floor but he also rolled off the court, which could defeat the purpose. Either way, this floor cleaner loves his work and that’s a good thing to have these days.
