Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer had the ball at the top of the key and made an entry pass to the paint for an easy layup. She later passed to Saben Lee, who drove to the basket and scored.
That’s not some weird political-sports mashup. Or maybe it is.
Whitmer became a Piston for a day last week, participating in drills with a few Pistons players, assisting the coaching staff and trainers at their practice facility in midtown Detroit. It was part of her initiative to do mock internships with various companies around the state, trying to connect and bring some positivity in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
