Real talk I bout league pass the year before Kawhi got traded to Toronto. Me and my uncle would rage tf out trying to see if Kawhi was gonna play after three months of waiting
Young fans like to talk so much shit about the older generations of NBA and Jordan and stuff, but the older generations didn't need a rule like this to be made let alone even brought up. Think about it.
People talk a lot of shit about the players who paved the way being plumbers but at least those plumbers actually played. Kawhi might as well be Bigfoot. People keep telling me he's out there but I've never seen him.
I swear Adam Silver watches your videos. First it was the flopping rule change a couple weeks after your video. Now it’s the load management change a month after your first video on the subject. You’re changing the game Comish 🙏🏻.
If it starts to seriously hurt the ratings and arena attendance, you better believe the management is gonna step up... At least, they have the good sense to come with counter measures unlike corporations like * cough * Disney, tripling down on self destruction.
Oh my God this is so therapeutic talk about the lifestyle that's what's different matters most. You can call them f****** plumbers if you want but back then they rode the buses they were treated like everybody else there was stuff that no modern-day player has to deal with. Also I'm watching your entire catalog on binging it
How did Kawhi Leonard fall so hard?!? He won a title in Toronto then disappeared from the NBA?! It has to be the Clippers curse He should of stayed in Toronto
of course it's the clippers curse. Kawhi was on top of the world in 2019. ppl were comparing him to Jordan for that run. signs with the cursed clippers and he falls off the face of the earth. nice job Kawhi.
I think it’s bc his priorities changed, the whole reason for his trade out of the spurs was because his family wanted to move to LA. So he played as good as he could the following so that he could guarantee a long contract in LA and just coast after that.
@@GeneralEliexactly why we need non guarantees in the NBA No more trade me or I'm leaving No more hold outs , If you signed a max extension Say a averaging 20 ppg Then you start average 10 PPG You would get half your money
@@TeRraAwTisM there definitely needs to be something ensuring players are held accountable for contracts they sign, idk exactly what the answer is but I’m sure it’s out there
Older players didn't do load management ish and those 70-90's guys would get to the point of literally fistfighting each other, ridiculous you have to tell these new, actively playing dudes that they have to actually earn their pay lmao
I took a day off at a warehouse cause I had saved up 6 to 8 sick days and announced it a week in advance. My vice director got mad and tell me don’t do it again. Told him I accumulated those days and I intend to use them by law.
Ayo look all ima say is, Michael Jordan played 82 games almost 38 minutes a night in his very last season. A lot of these players just got bussys 🤷🏽♂️
@@paquinraino8180it may have been slow, but it was the most physical defense off all time TRUE rivalry teams that were exciting to watch, fight were actually fights not this b>tch slapping we get now a days You had a good chance off seeing stars play even when not injured im talking to you MR LEONARD and LEBRON JAMES Finally players truly loved their home court fans and the game
@@paquinraino8180 Not really. He, overall, has a comparable average ppg with Harden, who barely has any more than him. Ofc that’ll be a wider discrepancy come next year, but still. MJ played in some higher ppg seasons, mid ones, and then lower ones in the mid-late 90’s. It was the late 90’s into early 2000’s that were the lowest, so you’re talking more so Shaq’s prime
Wow, it’s almost like they’re trying to get the game back to its former glory. Next thing you know players and teams will be allowed to play more physical defense and stop with all the tricky tack fouls.
I really hate when they call that obvious foul that people like Harden pull off. You know the one where the player wants that contact and then shots an offbalance shot.
The league is moving in that direction. They already removed the James Harden style of flopping in these last few seasons. You can't hook defender's arms, kick your legs way out, or jump into defenders anymore to draw phony fouls.
Every couple months I'd call out on Monday's or Friday's from work to give myself a 3 day weekend because I was just so tired and literally needed an extra day to reset. But if you paid me millions of dollars to work 80 or a few more days out of the whole damn year! You know you can count on me to be there every day, on time and with the good attitude. When counting the practice days as work, they all have a couple months off every single year. I get 2 weeks paid vacation if I don't use them all up on call outs.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out! I’ve tried looking up if any other professional sports league of any sport has a similar concept but I have not been able to find one yet. Thanks for the video! 😁
Remember when everybody including Paul George got they feelings hurt because Stephen A rightly called out Kawhi Leonard? Well it looks like Adam Silverslippers agreed with him. Checkmate for Stephen A
Lol its not that specific, Curry is 35 so the rule apply to him, KD, Westbrook or Harden aren’t 35 but they played enough games/minutes so the rule apply to them too .. It’s really not that specific, guys like Cp3, Draymond, Jimmy Butler, Derozan, Brook Lopez or AL Horford will probably qualified for it too. And the other rule is just as dumb, Jamal Murray never made an ALL STAR appearance even tough he play like prime Curry every playoffs so he doesn’t qualify for it, same as Klay who was injured and not an ALL STAR since 2019 …
In the past the majority of the players in the NBA loved the game more than what the game gives them. Now the majority of the guys love the benefits they get more than the game itself.
exactly why team USA got dog-walked in the FIBA tournament. maybe thats a harsh description, but they couldnt even get bronze. they content with getting their bag and they coast. and people wanna talk about how we need more load management to avoid injuries? why? to justify these people take more and more of your hard earned money by doing less?
90s and early 2000s NBA players are like old Hondas and Toyota trucks you can beat em and treat em like crap, but they'll continue running on NBA players from now are like EV cars on wrong bump and its 3 months of no action and need to be maintained pampered to hell.
Last time Ive checked, 90s players had to play year round. It wasnt that different back in the day specially trying to play against the bad boys.. you just need to endure , fast turnovers and physicality. The game wasnt that different lol . They are just big babies and specially managers wanna pamper their stars. Thats why team usa dont travel with all their stars to fiba or at the olympics. " risking an injure from Curry? Heeeeeeell now, my boy with stay at the league 🤡 Well, we can see the results of those decisions now. Diva treatment, and fear or traveling abroad and outside usa
Imagine saving up 2 buy 1 ticket 2 a game & u go & all the stars r on the bench in street cloths basically sayin fukk u & ur money, i need 2 rest my feet cuz i stubbed my toe last wk...
Along with this, I think what the NBA will benefit from is less games. Not necessarily like the lock out seasons but more so less games in the same time frame that the NBA has been following. There will be no more excuses for players to rest along with this new rule. Every game will matter more and as a result, we'll see more entertaining basketball. Let's be honest there are way too many pointless games happening right now. This won't be easy to come by but I truly believe this is good.
I'm so excited. We pay so much money to see these guys play and they decide to sit. If you're not hurt you play. I sympathize a lot more with a nurse working 12 hours vs a guy who has to put a ball in a hoop.
This just illustrates how bad the NBA is. The fact you have to legislate people to play a sport they are are getting paid for is pitiful and means your league is trash
It will not work. These coddled babies will still find a way. The NBA is dying like everything else in America. They finally got the one thing I had left, college football.
NBA was forced to address "load management" due to pressure from the broadcasting network/s who thinks that with viewership-drawing stars sitting out o a lot of games hits their ratings and revenue. And with the contract re-negotation coming up, NBA has to do something to be able to demand a much higher broadcasting rights fee.
On the other hand, a few years ago the Celtics screwed over IT and didn't take good care of him. Dude gave his all despite injuries and his sister's death. One of the most historic playoff runs for an undersized player in NBA history yet the injuries took a toll. Now it's too late and no chance for him to recover. Unfortunately no NBA teams want him anymore due to negligence by the Celtics organization. There has to be some middle ground. If IT would have gotten SOME load management (not to the extent of Kawhi) he probably would be still playing at an elite level today.
well... another bizarre development in this bizarre (from a European POV) discussion... because it's obviously NOT primarily the players pushing for load managment.. it's the Front Offices... who hire the medical staff to implement it... and they do so, of course, because OWNERSHIP wants it.. why is that concept so hard to grasp? I'd rather pay Kawhi $40m and sit him for the 24-29 regular season games I don't need to win to make the playoffs.. than pay him $40m for sitting out the entire season because some dumb c*nt refuses to accept that this is what happens when you overplay him.. or some other small issue in the knee becomes a rupture or something.. in Europe Kawhi would have probably been declared unfit to play with his condition.. and retired.. years ago.. same goes for Lonzo.. the reason they don't is a contractual issue between Ownership, the League and the Player's Union.. what happens to these massive contracts when a player has to retire due to injury? at the moment the organization, meaning OWNERSHIP, is stuck with it one way or another... if the League wants to now force them to play players against medical advise.. the League might hit a wall with Ownership, Front Offices, Coaching Staffs and players.. and rightly so..
Also in Europe every game matters, there's only 32 games in a Euroleague season and teams are closely matched, so a player better plays as many games as possible, because the team needs them always.
You understand that just because they’re forced to dress that doesn’t mean they will actually play alot of minutes. I wouldn’t be surprised if he dresses , but only plays like 5-10 min.
You should tell your boss you need some load management and see how quickly he fires you, these fuckin NBA players are DISGUSTING with their behavior, but what do we expect when they get to become multimillionaires as boys, for them to eventually grow into men with character? 😂
All this complaining about workers (no matter how well paid) who want to protect their bodies just makes me more certain of one thing: some people like sports because it allows them to indulge their fantasy of someone working for them.
People just treat athletes as well paid robots or circus animals Thus, they're less concerned about them, because they're aren't even humans in their mind
Sports is an entertainment business and people are paying good money to be entertained. They want to see the best players and that's hardly unreasonable.
Just forcing players to play is slapping a band aid on an amputation. It’s not going to stop the bleeding (the real problem at hand). The real problem is players don’t want to play. In every era of sports in the past, the mentality of all professional athletes was “you will have to take me off this field on a stretcher to get me off it.” Every sport. Nolan Ryan wanted to go out and throw 40 complete games a year, Isaiah Thomas refused to come off the court in the Finals despite severely injuring his ankle, Michael played every single game of his final season at nearly 40 Minutes per game. I could go on, but it’s not necessary. Point is, this isn’t a physical problem, it’s a mentality problem. Like Commissioner D said, the players are spoiled, lazy divas making too much money and not doing enough work.
Gregg Popovich started Load Management, Sitting Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili on a TNT game. LeBron James did Load Management on the Road and missed a Memphis Grizzlies sellout game, 1 time to see LeBron James play and LeBron sits out.
@@bigcheech1937I Mean when You’re Almost 40 Years Old On a Hobbled Leg out Of you’re Prime and no Hairline, You Can’t Really play Defense on the same level you used to
Not only for him dummy you watched the video or not ? They said the rule also apply for 35+ yo players like Curry, Cp3, Al Horford, Brook Lopez ect, and also for players with more than 1000 games or i don’t know how many minutes i think it was 32 000, so players like KD, Russ, Harden, Derozan and soon Jrue Holiday who played 906 regular season games and 70 playoffs games, so 976 Total … It’s not Lebron fault if he is built different, same for Curry or even KD, but especially Curry who is 35 and still a Top 3 player imo, that’s not normal, and they earned the right to rest.
Lots of good points made but the real issue of load managing is by the fault of the NBA itself and its that the regular season doesn't matter. The teams that are the worse offenders of load managing (Lakers, Clippers, Warriors) are often trying to compete for titles with aging injury prone stars so it's makes logical sense to rest them and keep their bodies in tact for the "real games" which is bad for the fans and the league. They can get away with this because its easy to make the playoffs, if you look at top 8 seeds of each conference that's 16 teams out of 30 making the playoffs, over half the league gets in, not to mention the play-in while fun to watch gives teams even more reason to lax in the regular season because they know that as long as they stay in the top 10 they have a shot. 10 out of 16 teams (66%) in each conference basically makes the playoffs. (play-in is basically apart of the playoffs to me even if the league say its not) In other sports leagues, it's a lot harder to make the playoffs because their is less spots available so they need their stars to play almost every game to increase their chances, in the NBA every game doesn't feel important so theirs no pressure to play stars as often. This rules should help but teams will loopholes.
They need to say. You don't play a game load managing. No game check. If you seriously injured that's different. Hit them in the wallet. Load manage to much still. Fine them. Fifty thousand a game.
How do you prove an injury is real or not, this is the type of thing that cause the Kahwi Spurs rift. So they will just use that to load manage. To solve this the league needs to change every contract to a play for pay. You get paid per minute you on the court. Fans don't get refunds for load management so plays should not get paid for it.
i'm definitely dreaming. first the tanking, then flopping then load management? is this silver's redemption arc? honestly i don't get the intense resting they do. isn't it much more likely to injure a player when they rest for so long then have them go back to 100% in as fast and as few games as possible? feels like it would be more beneficial to keep the players nba ready by playing rather than get them cold by resting way too many games
Slow down there sir you're actually making sense we'll have none of that in the NBA now please sympathize with this hundred millionaire crying about his wittle booboo he got from a game that they paid him to play in
You Got To Look At It for the Benifical Side, Let’s Say Your Star Player Gets Injured right before the playoffs, Your Main Guy Will Miss Potentially an entire series, and you’re Biggest Chance at a Championship Is in shambles, Look at the Warriors, In 2019, Kd Got Injured in the 1st Round, Then Comes back in Game 5 in the finals and gets injured Again and misses 2 WHOLE SEASONS, Injuries Are not a Joke and they should be Taken More Seriously
We all knew there would be a LeBron exception 🤦🏽♂️ I definitely think some opposed to load management are kinda extreme. And it's pretty gross to see people talk about (predominantly young black men) as if they have to be out there performing no matter what cause...? But I also think LM is getting obscenely abused to the point that it's ripping off fans and becoming unhealthy for players who are losing conditioning and all that. I understand most people can't live up to players like MJ, Kobe, Stockton, etc, but why not keep it reasonable like the aging Spurs or take reduced minutes like Kareem did later in his career? It's far more respectable and respectful. It maintains physical conditioning better to help avoid injury and stay in playing shape. As a fan it's always a bummer when ya show up and your favorite player isn't out there but it's way worse if ya play 55/82 games than if ya played ~70 games and I can just consider it an unlucky thing instead of a predictable and infuriating thing. Something has definitely gotta give but I also think it's wild to think people can practice, work out, play at the highest level, and then have a decent life away from the game to keep em grounded without em taking time off now and then. The LM apologists seem full of it and the super anti-LM types are overly emotional old heads that don't care about the players, player longevity, or science.
Both of these players’ bodies did not end up breaking down eventually, though, so they kind of disprove your point… I’d reference Karl Malone: Athletic freak who played damn near every possible game he could.
82 games are too much, but to shorten the season will impact records and finance. I would stretch out the regular season for 2-4 weeks (starts 1-2 weeks earlier, finish 1-2 weeks earlier) and try to eliminate road back to back games
It’s simple you just gotta fine the players and cut their salaries sorry all of us in the real wordl have limited time that we can miss with pay you shouldn’t be any special either. NBA the only sorry as league where players don’t wanna play
Ive been seeing Clipper fans pushing the blame for this rule on the Mavericks for some reason. I stg, they’re the most annoying and egotistical fanbase rn
That's what I'd propose: - 52 games total for a season per team. 82 is a ridiculous number and it is demonstrated that big market teams schedules are favored over smaller ones. 52 represents less of a risk of injury due to overburn, with more leeway for intensity during matchups. - mandatory pay severance for unjustified rest game or absence, with a minimal cap of 20% of the per game salary. To be settled during the contract. - allow heated rivalries to form again and don't punish trash talk. Shuting up a big mouth is the biggest incentive for a butt to quit the bleacher.
@@NuryPPanaligan I give you that. Besides, it'd be much easier to keep track of sport events in the future, for people looking back at it. Just a simple format as "West conference. Denver Nuggets VS Utah Jazz, Denver Ball Arena, regular season 2024". Period. Not some obscure schedule date whose meaning get lost over time. Also, this way, there are way less filler games involving franchises tempted to tank (if tanking remains an issue)
This is sad news for injury fans

Yeah because soon they get injured they have to get ready to play tomorrow

Load management is the main reason I refused to pay for league pass.

and they do so, of course, because OWNERSHIP wants it..
why is that concept so hard to grasp?

in Europe Kawhi would have probably been declared unfit to play with his condition.. and retired.. years ago.. same goes for Lonzo..
the reason they don't is a contractual issue between Ownership, the League and the Player's Union.. what happens to these massive contracts when a player has to retire due to injury?
at the moment the organization, meaning OWNERSHIP, is stuck with it one way or another... if the League wants to now force them to play players against medical advise.. the League might hit a wall with Ownership, Front Offices, Coaching Staffs and players.. and rightly so..
Also in Europe every game matters, there's only 32 games in a Euroleague season and teams are closely matched, so a player better plays as many games as possible, because the team needs them always.
if a player don’t wanna play a PRE-SEASON game then fuck it. But regular season, that’s unacceptable unless injured

You understand that just because they’re forced to dress that doesn’t mean they will actually play alot of minutes. I wouldn’t be surprised if he dresses , but only plays like 5-10 min.
none of that would ever happened if David stern was still alive.
Love your vids, man. I get stories, rants and news in a hilarious and memetastic way.
Outbreak of shin splints incoming.
Older players didn't get shin splints and miss games all season 😭
The moment you got up to James Harden, I sigh so hard like how you felt Dynamo
Needed to add JJ Redick saying today’s NBA is physical as the 80’s.
I hope this will be enforced and just not lip service
This is great news but I see a lot of players playing half speed and not giving to fucks about it.
They've been playing like that for years now
@@Youralwayswhining4367 that's true
I gotta feeling they still gonna beat that system all you gotta do is play minutes restriction watch
I'm diesel mechanic, my ankle hurts so much sometimes I can barely stand up guess what I still have 2 work
You should tell your boss you need some load management and see how quickly he fires you, these fuckin NBA players are DISGUSTING with their behavior, but what do we expect when they get to become multimillionaires as boys, for them to eventually grow into men with character? 😂
MBA is just like WWE It's Entertainment and also business neighborhood enough is going to change
What is the swishout video called that talks about kd and lebron not facing each other in five years?
All this complaining about workers (no matter how well paid) who want to protect their bodies just makes me more certain of one thing: some people like sports because it allows them to indulge their fantasy of someone working for them.
People just treat athletes as well paid robots or circus animals
Thus, they're less concerned about them, because they're aren't even humans in their mind
Sports is an entertainment business and people are paying good money to be entertained. They want to see the best players and that's hardly unreasonable.
I really can't complain with a single thing you said spitting facts
Good first step to make them look less like spoiled children
I felt the quotations my brotha
Just forcing players to play is slapping a band aid on an amputation. It’s not going to stop the bleeding (the real problem at hand).
The real problem is players don’t want to play. In every era of sports in the past, the mentality of all professional athletes was “you will have to take me off this field on a stretcher to get me off it.”
Every sport. Nolan Ryan wanted to go out and throw 40 complete games a year, Isaiah Thomas refused to come off the court in the Finals despite severely injuring his ankle, Michael played every single game of his final season at nearly 40 Minutes per game. I could go on, but it’s not necessary.
Point is, this isn’t a physical problem, it’s a mentality problem. Like Commissioner D said, the players are spoiled, lazy divas making too much money and not doing enough work.
Commish still goin strong!!!

“Weenie-hut General?!?!”
Gregg Popovich started Load Management, Sitting Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili on a TNT game.
LeBron James did Load Management on the Road and missed a Memphis Grizzlies sellout game, 1 time to see LeBron James play and LeBron sits out.
Just tie salary to games played. See if any of these entitled millionaires would sit games.
How are we even talking about lebron in this😂😂😂 man played hella min HE SHOULD GET A DAY OFF
It’s easier when all you do is jog on defense
bro hes pushing 40 give him a break@@bigcheech1937
@@bigcheech1937I Mean when You’re Almost 40 Years Old On a Hobbled Leg out Of you’re Prime and no Hairline, You Can’t Really play Defense on the same level you used to
But LeBron gets the rule changed for him
Not only for him dummy you watched the video or not ? They said the rule also apply for 35+ yo players like Curry, Cp3, Al Horford, Brook Lopez ect, and also for players with more than 1000 games or i don’t know how many minutes i think it was 32 000, so players like KD, Russ, Harden, Derozan and soon Jrue Holiday who played 906 regular season games and 70 playoffs games, so 976 Total …
It’s not Lebron fault if he is built different, same for Curry or even KD, but especially Curry who is 35 and still a Top 3 player imo, that’s not normal, and they earned the right to rest.
😅 2:08 Was that Adam Jones or Jawn Louis sitting behind LeBron?
Lots of good points made but the real issue of load managing is by the fault of the NBA itself and its that the regular season doesn't matter. The teams that are the worse offenders of load managing (Lakers, Clippers, Warriors) are often trying to compete for titles with aging injury prone stars so it's makes logical sense to rest them and keep their bodies in tact for the "real games" which is bad for the fans and the league.
They can get away with this because its easy to make the playoffs, if you look at top 8 seeds of each conference that's 16 teams out of 30 making the playoffs, over half the league gets in, not to mention the play-in while fun to watch gives teams even more reason to lax in the regular season because they know that as long as they stay in the top 10 they have a shot. 10 out of 16 teams (66%) in each conference basically makes the playoffs. (play-in is basically apart of the playoffs to me even if the league say its not)
In other sports leagues, it's a lot harder to make the playoffs because their is less spots available so they need their stars to play almost every game to increase their chances, in the NBA every game doesn't feel important so theirs no pressure to play stars as often. This rules should help but teams will loopholes.
Oh what a day!
WHAT LOVELY DAY!
They need to say. You don't play a game load managing. No game check. If you seriously injured that's different. Hit them in the wallet. Load manage to much still. Fine them. Fifty thousand a game.
1:51 David Stern would've been pissed
If a player plays 5 minutes, then spends the rest of the game on the bench, does this count as missing a game?
Excellent video 👍
These guys are lazy employees.after so many days off because they don't feel like working a regular guy would be fired . DO YOUR JOB little girls😮
How do you prove an injury is real or not, this is the type of thing that cause the Kahwi Spurs rift. So they will just use that to load manage.
To solve this the league needs to change every contract to a play for pay. You get paid per minute you on the court. Fans don't get refunds for load management so plays should not get paid for it.
My Houston Rockets won’t load manage because we can’t afford it, so i’m happy 😎👌🏾
Boy, nba team now it's like having 15 sttelers wide receivers in term of charcture nowadays
Load management in international cricket led to MORE injuries , not less.
You lose match fitness sitting on your ass.
Commish, trains are far more comfortable than airplanes. Way more comfortable. Even old trains.
i'm definitely dreaming. first the tanking, then flopping then load management? is this silver's redemption arc?
honestly i don't get the intense resting they do. isn't it much more likely to injure a player when they rest for so long then have them go back to 100% in as fast and as few games as possible? feels like it would be more beneficial to keep the players nba ready by playing rather than get them cold by resting way too many games
Slow down there sir you're actually making sense we'll have none of that in the NBA now please sympathize with this hundred millionaire crying about his wittle booboo he got from a game that they paid him to play in
You Got To Look At It for the Benifical Side, Let’s Say Your Star Player Gets Injured right before the playoffs, Your Main Guy Will Miss Potentially an entire series, and you’re Biggest Chance at a Championship Is in shambles, Look at the Warriors, In 2019, Kd Got Injured in the 1st Round, Then Comes back in Game 5 in the finals and gets injured Again and misses 2 WHOLE SEASONS, Injuries Are not a Joke and they should be Taken More Seriously
I’m from the D, and stop coming to game cause stars don’t play us
I feel a lawsuit coming for injury
We all knew there would be a LeBron exception 🤦🏽♂️
I definitely think some opposed to load management are kinda extreme. And it's pretty gross to see people talk about (predominantly young black men) as if they have to be out there performing no matter what cause...?
But I also think LM is getting obscenely abused to the point that it's ripping off fans and becoming unhealthy for players who are losing conditioning and all that. I understand most people can't live up to players like MJ, Kobe, Stockton, etc, but why not keep it reasonable like the aging Spurs or take reduced minutes like Kareem did later in his career? It's far more respectable and respectful. It maintains physical conditioning better to help avoid injury and stay in playing shape. As a fan it's always a bummer when ya show up and your favorite player isn't out there but it's way worse if ya play 55/82 games than if ya played ~70 games and I can just consider it an unlucky thing instead of a predictable and infuriating thing.
Something has definitely gotta give but I also think it's wild to think people can practice, work out, play at the highest level, and then have a decent life away from the game to keep em grounded without em taking time off now and then. The LM apologists seem full of it and the super anti-LM types are overly emotional old heads that don't care about the players, player longevity, or science.
Can we consider basketball a professional sport anymore?
0:29 took me out lmaoo
Just look back at kobe, or allen iverson so full of injuries
This is totally booboo
Pansier nba for pansier players
Both of these players’ bodies did not end up breaking down eventually, though, so they kind of disprove your point… I’d reference Karl Malone: Athletic freak who played damn near every possible game he could.
82 games are too much, but to shorten the season will impact records and finance. I would stretch out the regular season for 2-4 weeks (starts 1-2 weeks earlier, finish 1-2 weeks earlier) and try to eliminate road back to back games
To be fair it would allow players to play longer if you shorten the season and most don't play the full 82 anyway. Some don't even play 70
Less than 2 games a week.
3 or soover the season. Get over it. They do 150 min work a week.
Even if the season is 17 games only. Players will still load manage.
@@sugarnads a bit more than that counting practice and traveling long distance can also be a massive drain
CLOWN
Great good need itl
It’s simple you just gotta fine the players and cut their salaries sorry all of us in the real wordl have limited time that we can miss with pay you shouldn’t be any special either. NBA the only sorry as league where players don’t wanna play
Both the la teams are cooked😂😂😂
More so the clippers, Kawhi Is Literally a Load Management Genius
Didnt watch shit you said,,, already liked and commented fam
Next up, it's about damn time that clowns like simmons, kawhi, others who SIT OUT SEASONS while under contract for 20-40M a year
The only people who lose because of LM are the fans, especially the away fans.
LOL! sorry commish, but "kawhi might retire" didn't age well. love your vids!
looks like the kawhi injuries are missing the playoffs this year
Ive been seeing Clipper fans pushing the blame for this rule on the Mavericks for some reason. I stg, they’re the most annoying and egotistical fanbase rn
now you tell me NBA tough today pffft! this self entitled players are off the roof!
Hey commissioner, kawaii just commented about being the face of load management you should check it out
Oh he did? I gotta check it out. If I do a video I'll shout you out for informing me
@@DaCommishDude hell yea can't wait man, your my favorite sport commentary channel on RUclips , keep doing your work and hope all is well 🤘
Is it me or does Adam Silver look like a House Elf?
That's what I'd propose:
- 52 games total for a season per team. 82 is a ridiculous number and it is demonstrated that big market teams schedules are favored over smaller ones. 52 represents less of a risk of injury due to overburn, with more leeway for intensity during matchups.
- mandatory pay severance for unjustified rest game or absence, with a minimal cap of 20% of the per game salary. To be settled during the contract.
- allow heated rivalries to form again and don't punish trash talk. Shuting up a big mouth is the biggest incentive for a butt to quit the bleacher.
What a crock.
How many minutes a week they play? Not fucking many.
58 games makes more sense. 1 home, 1 away game against 29 other teams.
@@NuryPPanaligan
I give you that. Besides, it'd be much easier to keep track of sport events in the future, for people looking back at it. Just a simple format as "West conference. Denver Nuggets VS Utah Jazz, Denver Ball Arena, regular season 2024". Period. Not some obscure schedule date whose meaning get lost over time. Also, this way, there are way less filler games involving franchises tempted to tank (if tanking remains an issue)
