He's not saying anything that hasn't been established as a talking point for a minute now. The amount of ground players have to cover now is infinitely more than in the past. The amount of different actions that players have to accelerate/decelerate for is infinitely more than in the past.
That's why players are getting all these soft tissue injuries now.
Don't believe me, go ask all the athletic trainers across the league -
"The simple answer is it’s just a byproduct of the current game. A game that is chaotic. One that asks more of the human body than ever before. A sport that is violent in a different way than the NFL – a way that takes its toll on hamstrings, hips, ankles and calves.
“The biggest drivers are a mix of how the game is played now and how the season is lived. The NBA is faster, more spaced out, and built around repeated max-effort bursts, hard sprints, violent stops, and quick re-accels, so hamstrings, calves, and hips take a beating,” Annacone shared. “Stack that on top of dense travel, weird sleep, and a lot of ‘always being ready,’ and you get athletes living closer to the edge. It’s not that people suddenly forgot how to train, it’s that the sport is asking for more high-intensity output more often, with less perfect recovery.”
I'll take the word of someone who's medically qualified, who has to treat these players, and knows what they put their bodies through, over Coli brehs who twinge their hamstrings getting off the couch too fast.

I’m here for the scraps
10-15 years ago Shane Battier was quoted as saying the downside of playing a long time in the NBA was needing new knees at 45. There’s a lot more movement now than when he said that tooHe's not saying anything that hasn't been established as a talking point for a minute now.
