Sheed is right. I remember going to an Orlando Magic game in the early 2000s when they were playing the 76ers, and T-Mac and A.I were out. That was highly disappointing.
It is just many players have a different mentality in 2023 versus players in previous eras. John Stockton and Karl Malone both played all 82 regular season games for over 10 NBA seasons. I know Michael Jordan played all 82 regular season games too for multiple seasons, and arenas would sell out just to see Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls play the local team. Back in the 90s, the NBA season started around Halloween versus now it is mid October. I remember the Blazers didn’t do any load management back in the strike shorten season back in 1999. The Blazers used a ten man rotation from what I remember and they still managed to win the Pacific Division title that year. Rasheed would have to play four games in five nights or play games three nights in a row. Sheed practiced what he preached in this video.
I like this take. There's no reason a star can't come in and play 5-10 minutes and stay healthy. It's probably better longterm they do that anyway. All that being said, Blazers have one of the worst injury histories of any franchise, so if anyone whittle be worried about injuries it's Portland.
Exactly. I went to the Clippers Warriors game last night. 1st NBA game I ever went to and spent $300 just to find out Paul George was gonna do some (load management) bullshit that night. He was good enough to be out there in regular clothing launching t-shirts into the crowd. Rediculous!
PREACH Brother Rasheed!! Going to a game is expensive. Parking, ticket, and just a drink with popcorn can be over $100 for 1 person sitting in the worst seat. Then dude you paid to see isnt playing because he is tired!?
That's if you live in that city. For me to take my kid to a Raptors game would be thousands. I would do it in a heart beat except for this load management shit.
What a lot of ppl overlook with the load management is players sit out games instead of play reduced minutes because it’ll affect they scoring avg. I wonder the same thing that sheed mention and that was the conclusion. Players would rather sit out the entire game rather than have to force a big game in shorter minutes
I fully agree. These players are getting paid 30 to 50 mil per year for 82 games per year and they generally only play 3 times a week. Why tf do they need "load management"? They shouldn't get paid for any game they sit out for that reason.
This is why I am proud to be a fan of '90s NBA Basketball 🏀💯 They understood and took pride in the fact they didn't take days off! And more importantly, as Sheed stated there might be someone in the crowd that night who spent their hard-earned $$$ to buy a ticket(s) so that they or their family could come see you play.
Dope pod from sheed , been seein him on Gil’s arena, needed some more content , and here he uses my bday randomly for his example lol it’s the universe

@@cobrakainevereverdies6940 I’m 34 and have watched basketball my whole life. Just cause I play video games don’t mean shit. The game is faster and player safety is at an all time high. So if these trainers can save their jobs and let these guys sit for minor injuries so they fully recover, then they will. NBA is much like the nfl with QB illegal hits to the head, or NHL with fighting. The 4 major sports standardize player safety over everything, yall just don’t understand
@@cobrakainevereverdies6940 you hurt, just don’t accept the fact that things in sports are different now. There is nothing you and I can do about it, we have to accept it. At least the league has load management under control this year!
Yeah man that shit is 100%! I flew to San Antonio to see MJ play and he sat out because his knee. It wasn’t load management but still, to fly out and not see him still stings
yeah but when they started doing that its was because their core-players who were doing load management were all in their mid 30's or older, now 23-yearolds are doing load management without even any history of injury@@chrisrobinson8339
Pat Riley did load management on some of those Lakers teams in the late 80s with Magic and Kareem. Pat Riley just waited till the end of the season to protect some of players for a deep playoff run. San Antonio was the first team to start the whole load management as a way to give their older players like Tim Duncan or Manu Ginobili a break during the regular season.
I agree with sheed on load management 100 precent. No rebuttals. But you og's have holla at the yg's about it. They believe in stats, averages, and analytics than winning. Yall need those balancing talks, the healthy mediums of money, averages, diet, etc. They still dont get it. They are leaning towards the unhealthy. I get securing the bag, but thats low level compared to the rest. Yall all millionaires if you play it right.
I agree, but In Kawhi's case I understand. Dude blew out his quad, which is the most serious injury you can have (ended many careers) and tore up his knees.
Back in the day not inly did guys play all 82 games, but they also averaged 40 mpg as well. Even in his age 39 season MJ played 82 games and averaged 37mpg. What they do today is a joke. They take days off and they play less minutes. Not to mention half the actual game time is spent standing around doing nothing.
Load Management is bunch of BS, and you can tell this year now that they instituted the new rules for awards, players been getting 100's of MILLIONS pf dollars and STILL didnt want to play
I live in Pittsburgh pa. I drive to Cleveland for a cavs vs bucks game. I spent 340 a ticket git 2 me and my wife. Got a hotel Hilton downtown Cleveland 300 a night. Spent 120 on gas .i get to the game the only reason I went to the game to see break freak. He was out because of a sore shoulder. wtf. Sore shoulder. Hell naw.
It's a star driven league, not like the NFL or Baseball. People go to watch these guys do crazy things on the court. Sheed is 100% right, just sitting down to rest when there is no injury is stealing from fans that paid, often times, crazy prices to go see these stars play. As long as there is load management there should be refunds.
Sheed has always been on my favorite player list. He is what Gilbert Arenas pretends to be. Real AF and will tell it like it is, just not for clicks like Gil the clown. Real AF because that is all he knows how to be.
I always liked sheed. I respect him even more now for he’s view on today’s “ load management “ … he’s absolutely right you’re cheating the fans. Sheed might not always be right but he will tell you the truth. That’s a lot to be told about his character.
The game is a lot tougher now ??? WHAT !!! LOL. I think load management is-TRASH. Period. Only lazy players use this tactic,Jordan,Shaq,Kobe,Barkley,etc,etc,..heck even Lebron played most of their games if possible. If any modern day player deserves-LM-it's Lebron. GOOD point Rasheed made a very good point about the fans wanting to see certain players on the court.
Lebron playing all of his games are you joking? Lebron has only played all 82 games in a single season once, and he is in his 21st season right now. John Stockton and Karl Malone have over 10 seasons were both of them played the full regular season. Michael Jordan played all 82 games in his first season with the Wizards (similar age as Lebron is now) and 8 seasons in Chicago he played every game. Lebron is a great player, but he has participated in the whole load management BS during portions of his career.
@NewKasuto I despise load management but he's kind of right on LeBron. He had like 8 years straight with basically no off-season because of the Olympics and the NBA finals. He didn't take anytime off during this stretch.
@@NewKasutoby time off I mean a hiatus like retirement, injury, etc. And he went straight from high school to the NBA. He has more miles on his wheels.
Lebron has avoided almost every trip to Atlanta since the decision! Every time his team came to town he didn’t play! Once I bought tickets bc it was his birthday, NO WAY he’d skip that right?? Nope! At least Wade and Bosh played! lol idk if he was at Magic City or just didn’t travel at all 🤔 does he do this with any other cities?? Just Curious if he dodges your hometown too?
MJ and the Bulls would coast for the first 43 minutes of the game and win in the last 3-5 minutes of the fourth or MJ would score 30 by the end of the 3rd quarter and sit the entire 4th quarter and the bench would finish the game. These entitled current daynplayers don’t care about the fans and this is why viewership is down. How is paying millionaires, who get paid to play a sport, even more money by having an in-season tournament resolving the issue of players sh*tting on the regular season?
Malarkey, Lebron has only played all 82 games once in his whole career. He is in his 21st season currently. He participated in the whole load management BS too. I would agree that Kawhi Leonard is the poster child of load management going back to his days playing for the Spurs. If Lebron wants to be like MJ, then maybe Lebron should do what MJ did at 38 years old and go play all 82 regular season games. MJ played as many games possible in his Wizards uniform to sold out arenas.
Man I was hyped going to a clippers game as a Celtics fans cause I was gonna see Kawhi play for the first time and that mf didn’t even play and sat on the bench 😤 PG made up for it tho he went off that night
Lebron is the king of load management. He’s literally only played one single full season his entire NBA career. In 20! Plus years lol King of load management. It’s crazy in 20 plus years only one full season played.
but if they did that sheed Bron fake inflated won't hold up his ppg etc will drop so he decided I just won't play I'll drink on the bench.... pop started it for teams Bron single handedly started it for players sitting down shades bling and tequila im tiered then everybody else took it from there... they don't make um like they used too this the Bron era we don't compete we team up go to other teams to make super teams always need more help always wants the easy way and load management that's his stamp on the league that's the Bron era
Sheed is that old school we all need ❤
Damn straight
He knows why the NBA is dying
It’s Safe to Say Rasheed Wallace is exactly who we thought he was‼️

Sheed is right. I remember going to an Orlando Magic game in the early 2000s when they were playing the 76ers, and T-Mac and A.I were out. That was highly disappointing.
Sheed on point, I couldn't agree more... 💯
They don’t give a damn about the “fans”. Their agenda is to maximize how much money they can get the “fans” to spend.

which is why the stats don't matter in certain situations. It's quite obvious
Also why the NBA starting this year, has added game played requirements to awards.
Sheed cared about winning instead of stats
Thank you Rasheed Simon Gratz,Tarheel Legend. You and Kobe have said the samething thank you Philly Bulls for keeping it all the way real.

Sheed is a legend. Nc in the building . Put that man on 2k
It pads stats. If you play bad, or play less minutes, it might lower your stats. But picking and choosing when you play, keeps your stats high.
I agree, but In Kawhi's case I understand. Dude blew out his quad, which is the most serious injury you can have (ended many careers) and tore up his knees.

340 plus fees a ticket. It came 2 damn near 800. To watch him on the bench
Speaking facts
sheed is making the interview rounds.
The players get paid for 82 games, 48 minutes/game. All averages should be based on 82 games, not the games they’ve played

To the very least, don't load manage on the road. Away fans will only get to see players from other teams 1to 4 times a season.
