NBA players are independent contractors last time I checked. They not W-2. 1099 just has to get the ultimate goal (finals appearance & hope it goes your way). 1099 & W-2 are different in the real world....See Uber!
My dude, it would have taken you 2 seconds to Google that shyt and know that NBA players aren't independent contractors.

breh i wasnt even adressing the clowns and usual trolls of this forum/thread.. it was more about the medias

And good for you if your athletic career is on point. :yeshrug: :salute: Sorry for your grand father but what does it has to do with the matter at hand? most of us have to work through long shifts and what not but the end game for professional athetes and the "average joe" is not the same.
As I said, there's already a natural disconnect between fans and players just based on the money players make...exacerbating this disconnect by allowing for "maintenance days" further alienates the fans and is straight up bad business. I don't see how y'all dudes with any kind of common sense can't recognize that.

See this is wack. All that disconnect talk is really just jealousy. A lot of :mjpls: cacs feel like these guys don't be deserve the money they get paid for being good at basketball. Nobody knows what it's like on your body playing 82 game seasons, let alone doing it 14 years like Bron plus playoff runs. Most people can't even run back to back games of 5 on 5 to 21 :dead:

Imagine Lebron retiring for 2 years in the middle of his career.
Imagine Kobe or Jordan taking 2 weeks vacation mid-season.

Lol @ you saying this like it's a good thing :heh:

You realize this is why Kobe body broke down right?
Nah Kobe's body broke down because he was playing 48mn/game back 2 back at 35 years old with no in-game rest.

In all honesty the NBA should start the season earliers to spread out all 82 games. Preseason should start right after summer league and the season should start in mid September rather late october to end back to back games. Back to back games is woat and the players are only human.

I don't see why people are mentioned MJ first retirement, when he went to go play baseball. Its not like he was just chilling doing nothing.

So this thread turns into a player bashing thread...again when its clear the spurs started this trend and everyone seems to pass the buck instead of being critical of them cause the spurs can do no wrong right? They win 50 games yet Leonard at 26 is resting games yet not a peep here:ohhh:

The coli brehs... Continue on:hubie:
