lol @ "for the fans"...
MJ couldn't sit out any games, he had to play for the fans who had money riding on the Bulls that night:mjpls:

ā€œMJ goes ā€˜I tell you what, I’ll bet you that we win by 20 points and that I have more than 40,’ I’m like ā€˜done.’ Son of a gun goes out and scores 52 and they win by 26 or something after [...] 36 holes of golf and having like 10 Bud Lights.ā€

He's always been consistent about this if you have researched it, but I knew certain individuals would try to dismiss this as a lie. That's the new thing tbe internet does now though. Particularly Gen Z and grown men who act like members of Gen Z.

I believe the best example of this was his Wizard years particularly year 1 when he collided with Etan Thomas and hurt his knee. He tried to play through it. Then got that surgery and rushed back and tried to continue playing through it. Wasn't even concerned about numbers obviously because he didn't play heavy minutes and didn't start after the surgery.

Overuse injures.

Brehs like Bron and MJ grew up playing multiple sports.

These young bois nowadays go from rec league to AAU to middle school/high school teams etc. No football, track, baseball, wrestling....you gotta train different muscles. These dudes get to the NBA with crazy mileage on their bodies.
NBA basketball is way more physically demanding now than it was then as well.

In what way? dudes running from 3 point line to 3 point line, never picking up full court, and only going hard in the playoffs. Not to mention teams don’t practice like that anymore.

the cutting and needing to stop on a dime causes a lot of force to the joints.

A generation of "men" that act like mean girls at the back of the social studies class. Its really sad to see
