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

[Don Homer]

IT WAS BULLshyt
BECAUSE GUYS WOULD JUST
VOTE IN THE POPULAR PLAYERS
EVEN THO THEY MISSED 34% OF THE SEASON
WHICH IS WHY THE RULE EXISTS.

THE MEDIA CANT BE TRUSTED
ANYMORE THAN THE PLAYERS CAN
SO SAFE GUARDS HAD TO BE PUT IN PLACE



​

34%. Again that's a random arbitrary number you just picked based on nothing. Playing 55 games isn't bad at all. Which players played 55 games, got all-nba, and didn't deserve it over another?

 

[FTBS]

it's 17 games. you can get a hamstring injury, calf injury. or ankle, and that's it. Any lower-body injury will take you out the running.

the game is played a different way. It's more demanding on your body. he's only missed 8 games before this. he was playing. clearly it's important to him

Thats life though. Best ability is availability.

And its not like it was just sprung on him. Rule been around for 3 years now. Everybody knows what it is.
I didn't knock players for sitting under the previous system to preserve themselves for the playoffs. It was the game. Same here. Its the game.

He did not have a significant injury earlier in the season. He coulda played 4 of those games and this is a non story.

Kawhi Leonard is the posterboy for this rule. nikka bout to play 65 plus for the 2nd time in 3 years after failing to do so each of the previous 6. And he got a degenerative condition and and he is in his mid 30s now. If you bout your bread, you act accordingly. If you get legitimately hurt, thats tough but you still getting paid handsomely.

BRON PLAYED 56 GMS IN 22
AND WENT 25-31.

THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN
JAYLEN BROWNS SELECTION.

WE REWARDING nikkaS
FOR PUTTING UP STATS
ON TRASH TEAMS WHILE MISSING
35% OF THE SEASON.

HE ALSO TOOK KLAYS SELECTION
IN 2019 ON ANOTHER BUM
ASS LAKERS TEAM WHILE
PLAYING 55 GMS

[Rekkapryde]

NOPE....

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



​

Also this

"To qualify as a game played for major NBA awards (MVP, All-NBA) under the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, a player must participate in at least 20 minutes. A maximum of two games where the player logs between 15 and 19 minutes can count toward the 65-game minimum requirement"

Grand opening grand closing

 

[seemorecizzy]

look at these so called

i can see why your rep is in the shytter. Players today arent sitting out because they feel like it. They have legitimate injuries keeping them out. Cade isn't load managing, his lung collapsed you dunce cap. You essentially have to play a perfect season.

If you get a hamstring injury or calf strain, you're out of the running. The margin is too thin, dumb fukk.

Yes the fukk they are

How do you think we got here in the first place?

 

[MJ Truth]

The rule was made to get nikkas to stop sitting out games, Cade has not been doing that and shouldn’t be punished

Missing games is missing games breh. The league put that rule in to get these on the court so the fans (and networks) couldn’t complain about the product. The number isn’t even that high of a number. It should be a minimum of 70 games to be award eligible.

Ok, so if this rule never existed, and Cade, who has played 61 games, gets this injury, are you saying tough titty?

So a guy playing 61 games isn’t enough for you?

I think it was between Klay and Kemba in 2019. But I agree that year, Bron being the only guy chosen with a losing record is insane, even if it’s not Jaylen

It does exist though. I told you what I said when it didnt exist.

 

[Don Homer]

I just don’t agree. With the amount of games players play, in combination with the insane scheduling and the overall way the game is played, i think players do need to take extra time to make sure they are right. Imposing a strict rule only makes the issue worse. Not to mention the NBA has decided to tie these awards to player salaries. I think it’s a bad idea for the short and long term health of the player

I wanna see players play. I want them to get their bread. I think they should do whats best for them.

I have gone on record stating that they should shorten the season, abolish max contracts, the cap, and even the draft. But the players keep turning around and accepting more and more things that move in the opposite direction. If it gets me more games with the best players playing then so be it.

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Let the players have it and the season will be 60 games and you can be MVP playing 30. I’m not paying attention to any of the crocodile tears

THIS IS WHY THE RULE
IS NEEDED AND WHY THE MEDIA
CANT BE TRUSTED

CADES SITUATION IS AN ABERRATION
NOT THE NORM
