Pickleball has exploded in popularity among all age groups — including a who’s-who of celebrities such as Bill Gates, Leonardo diCaprio, George Clooney, and legendary NFL quarterback Drew Brees. Brees, who has long played the game and is now a part-owner of the Mad Drops Club of Major League Pickleball, described the sport as “a combination between tennis and ping-pong. It’s a fast-paced game.” “It’s really more of a game about patience than it is about power,” Brees said on Yahoo Finance… Source link
