In 2006 Steve Nash was named MVP by the NBA and led the league in high fives, fist bumps and butt pats (WHAT???). It’s true!

But the COVID-19 suspension of sports is putting human touch in jeopardy: will we ever bring back celebratory hugs after a victory, high five lines after a game, fist bumps after a great play. When it’s safe to play sports again, let’s not lose that physical connection.
