To be fair, it was a half court game at that time. A lot slower

:dwillhuH: they were playing 5 on 5 half court :mjlol:

and I know what you trying to say but you forget MJ played in the 80s where the pace is similiar today and also played when the game was more physically grueling.

today the nba is like watching a professional pickup game at LA fitness.

I'd rather have my star play 66 games and be rested for the offs and get a ring than worry about playing fukking Knikks in March

New league, new ways
I grew up in the 90s but this fake tough guy "bacc in my day" shyt is :russell:

The season shouldn't be no damn 82 games as is

MJ the goat but he has to throw his 2 cents in on everything:camby:

It's cool Malone played so many games but he ain't never get a chip so who cares.....there ain't no trophy for most games played

if kevin durant didn't pop his achilies, no one would've praised kahwi for load management as the rapters lose in 5. He caught major breaks in the playoffs

embeed being sick/injured

half the warriors being injured

MJ heard the Kawhi comparisons and was not having it :francis:

THIS ISNT A RECENT STATEMENT.

THIS IS SOMETHING MJ SAID
PRIVATELY TO HIS PLAYERS.

THE OLD COACH IS MAKING IT PUBLIC.

I don’t recall mj speaking on his days he simply stated you get paid to play 82 games.

these are elite athletes they don’t burn out. Elite teams don’t even practise that’s how they find time to rest

I hate the fact that I was dead set on being against this nikka when he was playing....

I should have rode with him from jump. Dude was a fukkin beast. :wow:

I'm fan now tho :salute:
That’s the same thing harden said last year when he was asked. Giannis had similar sentiments.

taking games off is corny you don’t play forever I question kawhi’s love for the game

Load management should’ve been killed when the Spurs started it

glad it’s getting heat now
I remember the media laughing and calling it jokes when the Spurs would sit Duncan, Ginobli and Co. and the reason for their DNPs would state, "Old".

Pop is a big reason this Load Management shyt has been adopted and now resonates throughout the entire league.
