I don't know what the coli consensus is on this, but I definitely don't think the best player in the world, who is only 31, needs to be resting for regular season games. It's not like he's some fragile older player.

He's played more mins than anyone in league history at his age (31 soon to be 32):yeshrug:
Gotta start have some kind of rest program in place when he's gotta play 40+ mins in the playoffs. :manny:

Spurs/Duncan have done this for years.

No doubt Teachers, etc work hard as hell.

But bringing that up because he sat out a game. :patrice:
Yeah a lot of the ones I know have near 60 hour work weeks :sadcam:. Maybe I'm looking into the wrong field to enter.

And this is why this fool on twitter is a dummy. Go find a job more physically draining than being an athlete. shyt requires 24/7 commitment to keeping yourself prepared in between games on top of all the work someone of his stature has to handle.

As a fan, I wanna see breh out there too. I also believe its too early in the season to be resting players. Bron has played so many minutes, I get it tho. Hes been havin back problems I think also

I'd like to see a teacher go teach in one city, then fly across the country to teach in another city.. then fly out to another city, teach a class... i bet you start hearing complaints about jet lag... This argument is stupid. He plays a sport professionally. That alone is taxing on the body, not to mention the travel and other obligations he has. If he needs or wants to rest a game, fukk it, rest.
