Some people crave attention, and some people earn the same in the form of respect by excelling at a skill with their hard work and dedication. The latter is the American tennis legend, Serena Williams. Recently, the renowned comedian Chris Rock pointed out Williams’ example of being the greatest in the tennis world while sharing a contradictory statement about what attention means to him.

Tennis fans who closely watched the 23-time Grand Slam champion build her career know how much time, energy, and effort the tennis legend has given to this sport. But being like the former world number one is not an easy job.

Chris Rock takes Serena Williams’ example as an attention-seeking technique 

The 58-year-old American comedian earlier performed a live stand-up set called “Chris Rock: Selective Outrage” on Netflix. He delivered an electric stand-up performance and spilled a lot of secrets about the Will Smith fiasco. In that, while talking about attention, he focused on how different people get it in different ways.

And while listing four easy ways to get attention, he sarcastically referred to a point about the American tennis legend’s sports legacy. Additionally, he bashed all digital attention seekers out there, who are running away from doing all the hard work but crave attention.
