Michael Jordan: You're paid to play 82 games

[ghostwriterx]

It sucks that Kawhi and the Clippers are implementing these "load management" procedures, but the reality is his lower leg issues are probably a lot more serious than they've let on. He looked noticeably slowed at times in the playoffs last year and that was AFTER missing 22 games in the regular season. I don't have any issue with guys taking occasional games off, especially as they get older. It's just unfortunate that one of the league's biggest talents routinely misses 20 games a season in his prime due to injuries/health issues.

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

he doesn't tho


you just be thinking of somebody else

Waiting for Kobe to say something. He’s kinda having a second life as this “NBA guru” ass nikka so he’ll prob go easy on someone of Kawhi’s status.

Kobe has him at that invite only camp this summer. Kawhi still his second son, he just gon be a lowly clipper for the rest of his days.

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

People forgot Kawhi was STILL limping in the playoffs even after all that load management

One of MJ's most impressive accomplishments to me was that he played all 82 games that last season with the Wizards at age 42
and he we would have played all 82 the previous season if he didn't get hurt

Played all 82 games and the most minutes of his career in his final season with the Bulls. GOAT

Random fact, He's Michael Jordan from Gordon

 

[Peter Popoff]

First off, Kobe is an NBA guru. Secondly he already spoke on load management

The Gawd

It's never too late to become part of the family Trust Kob's post-basketball career will be just as accomplished as his first act

Dwight has repented and is on his way to becoming a cult hero in LA

 

[Jermio]

Maybe, but not if doing otherwise gets the ring.

I wish I had load management at work to supplement my vacation days, so that I can be a more effective employee when it matters.

Nah the real reason to shorten the regular season is because the 82-game deck is now antiquated and NBA fan support has long lacked in the regular season...

I mean, I don't think the average person has ever watched 82 games. You cut it to 62 games you'll still have people complaining that the season is too long and they won't watch until the playoffs.

 

[jwinfield]

You should be obligated to play all 82 if you are honestly physically up to it.

Who determines if a player is physically up to it?

Rose was out here playing through a fukked up toe, that led to an ankle issue then like some hamstring shyt, and eventually tore his ACL.
