NBPA calls for 65-game rule change, citing Cunningham's case

[CHICAGO]

Dress for the game and right after tip off have a player commit a foul and go to the bench

NOPE....

THAT WOULD DESTROY THEIR
SEASON AVERAGES SO THEY
WOULD NEVER AGREE TO IT

The NBA’s 65-game rule isn’t strict it’s actually moderate compared to other leagues.

If you can't play 80% of games you shouldn't be winning anything

I like the rule

 

[tremonthustler1]

JOKIC HAS PLAYED 24 STRAIGHT GMS
SINCE RETURNING FROM INJURY
BECAUSE IF HE MISSES 2 MORE GMS
HE DOESN'T QUALIFY.

DON'T EVER LET HIM
FOOL YOU INTO THINKING
HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THIS shyt.

WEMBY HAS PLAYED 35 OF THE LAST 36 GMS....

SAS WOULD BE LOAD MANAGING THE
fukk OUTTA HIM IF HE WASN'T
CLOSE TO MISSING THE THRESHOLD



​

and then voters would wanna give an MVP award to someone playing 40 games with a straight face for the sake of legacy.

fukk all that.

they don't count those as games played towards the 65 games.

Also, I hate this idea of "now Duren might make all-NBA which makes it tougher for Detroit to hold onto both him and Cade."

Well, Detroit had every opportunity to sign Duren to an extension. It didn't happen. He's gonna be an RFA. If he makes 3rd team, his price shoots up. Pay the man. He did his part. The price of being a contender.

Those aren't real things that are gonna happen. That's just a small minority that likes to bytch online about shyt. Gore's is going to pay Duren and that's not a question. They didn't go from laughingstock too #1 in the conference all to then try and rebuild again. They knew the risk when they weren't able to get a deal done before the season, and so did JD. Now cut the check and figure shyt out about getting another bucket/playmaker on the squad

I think if you’re going to keep it at 65 games, put a minutes played exception. So if you played 60 games but still played a certain amount of minutes you still qualify

For example with the stats, even if you play less than the game minimum you can still qualify for the leaderboard if your totals are high enough

Facts. I was thinking they should add an injury exception to the 65 game rule, but that would just get heavily abused lol

Gotta play 20-something minutes in a game for it to count

You have to make the rule something like you have to miss 10 straight games to get an exemption or some shyt like that, because nobody is "load managing" for 2+ weeks

Cade should be All-NBA regardless his injury. He deserves it. Duren was ballin tho. He should get a

What’s the fewest games an MVP has played in a non lockout year?

Edit found it.

Bill Walton (77-78) is the only one with less than 65 games.

Adding Embiid, you have 3 players with less than 70 games in 70 years.


It kinda does make sense, you’re most likely not winning the mvp in another American sport (Europeans give mvp for the whole season including national team) if you miss almost 1/3 of the season.


So when the NBA put that 65 limit, they likely looked at all the mvps and saw that it’s a 1/70 chance that you have a Bill Walton.

It's not just MVP... It's all-nba and all other awards and accolades as well

But like others said, they knew this when they signed the contract

well well welll...what do we have here
