Well then...Greg Popovich needs to be held accountable because he's the one who started load-managing his players.

Most stars don’t willingly load manage unless their actually injured.

Lebron James at 38 years old been playing through foot, groin, and finger issues all season

Kobe Bryant tore his achilles and went BACK into the game to sink two free throws and then rushed himself back which led to other more serious injuries and eventual retirement

AD has a history of injuries, his nickname is “Day To Davis” but i’ve NEVER heard anyone say that he doesn’t genuinely want to play. Kawhi will be dealing with a DEGENERATIVE leg issue for the rest of his life. KD is genuinely hurt. I mean who besides Kyrie Irving can we say doesn’t have legitimate injury issues that they’re fighting through?


This “load management” talk is completely blown out of proportion. Not every star is built like Allen Iverson, who WILLED his way through half a dozen injuries every night.

Talking about “Load Management” is bad when Isaiah Thomas literally destroyed his hip rushing back to help the Celtics and they load managed his ass right outta town

We don’t need this bytch ass conspiracy theorist saying something we already know.

Like I said “load management” is also partly a result of ring culture. Can’t spend years telling players that rings matter over anything then get mad when they do what it takes to get to a ring.
