@PCTR the NBA or any other league isn't refunding anything. It's not a realistic expectation. This is a business, man. And load management is almost impossible to prove. The team medical staff isn't going to tell the league "oh he's not really hurt". They're going to protect their investment.

This knee soreness, shoulder soreness becomes a trend for not playing but in reality they are fine, because theres no one checking these players for test results, they will just take day off and they become 100%, Soreness with negative result is OK to play

Exactly man. Barkley was talking about the same issue with these guys and he was spot on. Players used to fly coach between games. Players didn't have access to huge training staffs and modern conditioning/nutrition. You played unless there was something severe going on. Modern players are pampered and treated like kings from a young age. It starts with AAU. Players get huge money before they even have to prove anything. That mentality is ruining the NBA for a lot of fans
Yeah! They have 82 games since 1967. They knew it will going to be like that every season. Todays' players only want to get paid, but they want to sit out as many games as possible.
Just flew to LA to see Lakers play Grizzlies. Instead of being excited about the game, I was really thinking about how pissed I was going to be if LeBron or Ja decided to sit out. They both played and it was a great game. Even had a side show starring Shay Shay.

@@23beats28 Makes sense. The stars draw the crowds, if they don't give notice they're sitting beforehand, it's fair imo. NBA don't make their money based off role players.
The biggest problem is the players want more and more money but want to play less and when they have a big game the NBA promotes they sit that game out. The players are biting the hand that feeds them. At some point the league will have to stand up and say enough is enough.
Fans literally have the power to stop this. Boycott the league, don’t attend games, don’t buy merchandise & don’t watch on tv. I bet you they won’t ever load manage another game again… however, we know that would be practically impossible to get every fan on the same page.
Oh wait for the cba. Just wait. These players are gonna get ho slapped so hard they might have to sit out the first 2 games of the season for real because of the concussion the owners are about to give them. This is flat out inexcusable. People are leaving the nba.
That's the issue....I'm sure they would accept playing less games but would balk at a paycut. The only player I've seen address that several years ago was Dirk....he said something like it would be ideal to play less games...but he also understood they'd have to adjust salaries to reflect that.
“Biting the hand that feeds them” reeks of “we own them and they owe us.” Secondly, you can’t constantly rip players for playing well in the regular season but not showing up in the playoffs, then be surprised they value the playoffs more.
One correction: for the kids in the US and Canada! The Warriors have sat Steph the last two years the team has came to Toronto. Has happened numerous times with other teams (Bron and AD rested and sat out in December) where if they are at the end of a road trip, stars won’t bother coming because they don’t want to go through customs. It’s honestly a damn joke at this point.
I agree with Rob’s take, but unfortunately nothing is gonna change until load management hits the owners in their pocketbook. We’re starting to see it in the TV ratings, next will have to be in ticket sales. The arenas are still full. If ticket sales start to drop congruent with ratings then something might happen
NBA's ratings have been in the dumpster for years. Sport is turning into trash with no rivalries, real divisions, flopping, referees that dont know what they're doing and load management.
@@iuhgfmnbert1744 you don’t think the billionaires don’t know this. Big changes are coming. I could see the nba gone for years. The owners aren’t going to budge.
@@iuhgfmnbert1744 dude you really don’t have any idea what’s going on do you? Stephen a said he has NEVER seen them this angry and ready to go to war and he was dead serious. They are as upset as us fans. That is very very rare. I think they are gonna curb stomp them so hard. They will give them the first offer and the players will scoff, they will then make the offer worse! Players laugh, they will make the offer even worse slide that piece of paper over and say call us when you are doing making 500k in Russia. This may go years, nobody is going to outlast the owners. This is going to be a statement bro. They are going to flat starve them out.
If you’re angry about it look at people like Rob Parker and other media people. They have made careers out of DESTROY players for not performing late in the season and downplaying what they do in the regular season. You can’t spend decades complaining about players that are drained when they get to the playoffs then be surprised that teams came up with a method to work around it. Media people like Rob are the reason players and teams don’t care about the regular season. They have created this mentality that nothing matters except your playoff performances then complain players are valuing the playoffs so highly.
@@iuhgfmnbert1744 the issue is the people in the video you’re watching, how many times has he trashed players for being only good in the regular season? Now he’s acting incredulous at the idea players value the playoffs more.
On average they play every 2 days or so plus travel. But they get at least 4 months off after the season, most teams get 5 or 6. You should be using the off season to recover but also to stay in shape for the regular season. You’re getting paid enough to set up the next 3 generations of your family, I think you can let yourself go hard for 6 months out of the year
Kobe played with broken fingers to simply never let a fan down. At this point I think fans should be able to sue teams or be fully refunded for trip and ticket.
This is why the NFL does not want to hand out full guaranteed contracts. There’s no incentive to play, just say you have back spasms and you get to go home and collect a check
NFL is so different though. EVERY game matters. You don't want your team losing because of a rest day. 1 game was the difference between Dallas winning the division. 1 game was difference between SF getting the one seed. The Lions were eliminated from the post season due to a minor tie breaker.
@@ky6632 do you think NFL players really suck it up and play cuz they wanna win? Some of them yeah but most of them gut it out and try to play because a lot of their contracts are tied to incentives. So if they miss out one game that could be the difference in getting a 750,000 bonus whether it’s catches or time played or whatever.
@@bryansilva6306 Many do. But guaranteed contracts don't stop you from adding incentives. You could always add additional bonuses for stats/making pro bowl/playing a certain percentage of games/etc. Guaranteed money wouldn't be as high but it would be guaranteed and they could always earn $X amount more via negotiated incentives.
NBA just isn’t producing the same product….. I can’t remember the last time I watched a full game. I miss the 90’s early 2000’s I mean yes the game involves and changes. But me personally just not a big fan of the league as a whole right now.
Guys are as talented and skilled as ever before, and yet I can't remember a time since I was a child just learning about the game of Basketball, that I've been LESS interested in the NBA. This load management crap is going to lose more and more fans the more this continues.
It’s weird cuz these dudes more athletic/skilled but visually the game was way more entertaining in the 2000s and 2010s right before the Warriors era changed everything
@@billionbergapNBA changed the rules to cater everything to the offense. They didnt want those final scores like 82-79. They want 100+ point games. But the positive side of the lower scores were that each basket was so valuable. Nowadays any team can comeback from 15-20 point deficits because they jack up 3s and its an overall higher paced game
@@billionbergap That's because we had teams with different styles. Some teams played big, some small, some shot 3s more, some couldn't shoot, some relied on ball movement
Important to mention the frequency of injury is at all time highs, there is no correlation between this load management era and the previous generations that didn't. Results show the opposite.
Yeah I don’t really see how it follows that playing less will allow you to go hard in the playoffs. How does playing less often prepare you to play harder more often
Gordon Hayward got injured in the first game of the year for Celtics. No amount of load managing can account for that. Although I do wish there were fewer injuries.
This load management makes it hard to root for this era of players. I don't care about the money. I care about the integrity of the game as a fan & this is nonsense - especially when teams are asking fans to spend ridiculous amounts of money to attend these games.
@OHiWONder Gaming I don’t agree! The teams are not asking fans for anything. No one put a gun to the fans head to force them attend a NBA game! Fans “voluntarily donate” their money to go to a NBA game! Going to a game is a “want” not a “need”! All the owners and the NBA care about 💰💰💰 at the end of the day!
Oh so you think the ticket prices will go down if the season is cut down?? It's only going to be higher than ever before because now it will be limited and teams will have to make up for those lost profits. Fans need to quit complaining because a player's health is more important than some damn kids crying!
@@kelj4517 I can agree with that concept, but its kinda like goin to kfc because you heard they have a sale, but now you find out they dont have no chicken🤣 so of course the customer will be upset. The things you said was fair but still doesnt make it right
@@kelj4517 teams literally ask fans to attend games. I know because of marketing. Hell, the ATL hawks been cold calling me over the break to get season tickets.
Between load management and watered down defense and over-officious referees the game stinks to watch. My grandmother could score 30 points in todays nba
The Washington Capitals won the Stanely Cup during the 2017-18 season. Alexander Ovechkin played all 82 regular season games and all playoff games. And if you watch Ovechkin play, he plays a very physical brand of hockey. Now he is a bit of a unicorn in the NHL, but it shows it can be done.
For all the ones who say the talent in the NBA is soo much better then previous generations, yet it's softer, players have better equipment, better medical treatment and on and on and players in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s got the crap beat out of them and played every night. And the NBAs way around it is just make a injury up, "wrist soreness" or "stubbed toe" or whatever. Kevin Durant would of gotten broken in half if he had to go against the 80s/90s pistons or going to the rim against Shaq or Hakeem.
I like Jalen Rose idea. If you sit out, your stats get 0's for that game. Once players see their averages being brought down they will stop load managing.
ka -BOOM this plus what rob said together---they have to miss 4 games with zeros in the stat column; suddenly most players will be playing 78-82 games every yr like they used to
They would just create another metric like GAP(games actually played) to measure a player’s statistical performance. So Kevin Durants averages go from 20/5/3(including his games missed due to load management). To 30/8/5 in GAP. I think teams and fans would most likely just overlook the new metric and focus just on games played.
@@ryankenealy4837 why would the nba penalize them for sitting out games and THEN create a new stat which UN-penalizes them?? that makes no sense whatsoever
The thing is, the 30 year olds of today (that is, younger NBA players) are no different than the kids they are disappointing. They throw tantrums and hissy fits when they don't get their way lol
Happened to me and my family TWICE, LeBron when he was with Cleveland the 2nd time..Living n Indianapolis at the time, brought Pacer/Cavs tickets for me wife nd 3 kids spent $600 and he didn't play but was on the bench ke ke'n we were so mad! Then the following season did it again..
Simple solution, don't buy tickets. If you wanna see the team, buy a ticket. If you want to see a player, wait until the playoffs. Be smarter with your money.
I think part of it that hasn’t been discussed is that a lot of players have streaks and awards that They don’t want to jeopardize. Players could easily load manage within a game. Maybe play 15 mins, 20 mins… but if I have a streak of 20 points a game or if I only score 10 pints in 15 mins, then it will mess up my averages. That’s part of the problem.
I ALMOST went to the Mavs vs Clippers game here in Dallas a few days ago. Always wanted to see Kawhi play live. BUT, I didn't know if he would, so I kept my $300 in my pocket and watched it from home. The league needs to get this under control.
Naw the league is always going to make money load management or not! It’s fans like you and others that make a “donation” to the NBA to keep them profitable!
@@nr9794 It's BS! I'm in my mid-40's, so I've been going to games since the mid-80's. And prior to the past 8-10 years, I purchased tickets and never ONCE worried about a perfectly HEALTHY player not being on the court. If they're sick or injured, perfectly understandable. Get better. But, this "I'm tired" thing, when I've watched DECADES of players play all 82-games in a far more physical era, doesn't sit right with me.
This hurts the NBA that's why the ratings are low ... the NBA pays their players too much. They need to tell players if you don't play 90% of the season you can't play in the playoffs injuries included. Let's see who's really about winning. True Champs grind it out
Worst part is because they dont practice crazy, and load manage most of them dudes suffer from soft tissue injuries. Their bodies aren't prepped for the marathon. They asked Grant Hill about load managing, or shortening the season he said no. The NBA is supposed to be a hard grueling marathon and this is s dude who suffered multiple prime killing injuries back to back to back to back to....Alright yall get the point. The "science" says he would've benefitted from load managing during his prime like Kawhi is today
Not only is load management a problem but the three point shot sucks and ruined the game. It basically killed the back to the basket center and killed fast break basketball in the process. Nothing worse than watching guys run to the three point line or shoot a three with 20 seconds on the shot clock. I used to love watching all the great centers go at it....nevermind but AAU style ball sucks
The 3 point shot never ruined the game, it has always existed since 1979. It's people trying to copy golden state that ruined it. Difference is golden state has the greatest shooting backcourt of all time and it's not even close. I love watching guys post up and shoot middies but very few actually do it. The ones that do are the ones that can get buckets
All the Skills, players have in this generation. Toughness isn't one of them. The science says too many games. They travel private, have multiple trainers, nutritional advances, the game is easier etc Guys are playing too many games, too early in life. They focus solely on basketball or one sport in elementary school, playing traveling AAU, having individual trainers 5 days a week for 8 Years before they get to college. All this wears on the joints. Achilles tears, quad injuries etc are injuries we normally hear in basketball. Yes Dominique tore his Achilles, but it's hard to remember in the 80/90/00s others who did this. In the last few years. Achilles tears. Klay (while working out in the summer) KD, Kobe, Boogie Cousin. Cutting the season, won't make a difference. Guys will still take games off.. there is a lot of entitlement in the game now, from HS and up. Everyone has a mixtape, Everyone is elite. These are lies.
worse thing to happen to the NBA is legalization of Sports betting. Adam Silver is already trying to Engineer more points and 3pt shots. The integrity of the game of the game is destroyed because of greeed. You think the players make $50 million a year w/out Sports betting? NBA is rigged allegedly.
They should have to do a meet & greet if they're load managing for that game. Fans won't see them play but they'll get a chance to see that player.......just saying 🤔.
Just shorten the season. So many meaningless games. If it was shortened the tension and every game would matter more in the standings and seeding and EVERY game would matter like in the NFL. But even then I'm sure NBA stars will load manage. This ain't the tough era of the 90s on back where players played every game including the playoffs year after year for decades through illness injuries etc. Just shorten the season because this generation of players will never play anything remotely close to 80 anything ever again but they will always look clean ASF on the bench with the newest drip on their nights off so there you go new gens, there you go.
The length of the season isn't the issue it's the product, boney non athletic guys, no defense, jacking up 3's as soon as players pass the half court line.
@@Dadailyhussle then you don’t get paid. And if you don’t play a certain amount of games you lose a substantial amount of your salary PERIOD. Bet kawhai gets his lazy ass up to play. Can’t stand that lazy pos.
Can’t really get behind Robs rant. You want less injuries, play less games. Ya do that then these kids get priced outta tickets. If we capitulate to every sob story a fan has to see their favorites then you open the door to an insatiable monster of expectation.
I also think they shouldn’t be allowed to load manage at away games. The arena tickets skyrocket when certain teams come to town just for you to find out players on the other team are load managing. That has happened to me before and it’s frustrating.
I like the if you miss one, you have to miss the next 3 concept. As MJ said, I play every single game because there is a kid or a family coming to see me and this may be the only game they can ever see me or the only game they will ever go to period. It's sad because I'm from the DMV and am now in okc and we recently have been one of those places that no one cares about so teams tend to always load manage against us. Many times I look at the schedule and want to buy tickets to see lebron, steph, etc but I don't because I don't think that they will play but they will play the next game in the state over against Luka... Smh
Load management will continue especially since there is so much emphasis placed on the Post-Season and Championships; yes these are important. However, in recent times we have placed so mush value on Rings and things that the regular season has become some what irrelevant. The poster boy for this is Kawhi, who was praised for load managing as long as it brings you the Championship; when the ends justify the means this will be a consistent theme.
It's the guaranteed contracts and the amount of money that's the problem. Even average players are getting $20 million per year, and they are getting the money whether they play or not.
@@michaeljohnson7945 I tend to agree with this statement as a lot of average players are way overpaid and then teams are handicapped when better players become available. Then again a lot of teams practice organizational malpractice.
@Lauriston Parris That's why I can't side with the owners because they chose to pay these guys the amount of money they are getting. For example, no one told Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan he had to pay Gordon Hayward a $30 million-per-year contract in free agency. Hayward was an injury-prone, slightly above average player before he came to Charlotte, so Jordan can't be shocked that Hayward is still an injury-prone, slightly above-average player now. If the owners practiced better fiscal judgment when handing out contracts, then they would not have this mess.
That's why I wouldn't spend money on an NBA game. Watch that BS on TV and you won't be disappointed. And these players today think that they are supposed to be worship. And it's a big ass problem because the owners and coaches are helping them do this load management.
Maybe implement a certain amount of PTO for injures and then after a player uses up those PTO games the player starts getting reduced pay or no pay for missed games. Something has to be done or people are going to stop going to live games or tune out.
Ima say this about this show… ROB ALWAYS brings up lebron or Steph when it comes to this load management thing in segments about it but NEVER does he mention the CLiPPERS or KAWHI I noticed that recently… the hate comes out real bad agaisnt guys he don’t root for but it’s crickets about the team and player that does LOAD MANAGEMENT the MOST.. CALL OUT KAWHI ROB PARKER just like you call out LEBRON And Steph wit your HYPOTHETICALS .
I saw a dude here in memphis, shopping with his gf gettin ready for a cleveland game a couple years ago..dude had a fresh cut, bron jersey on and everything fresh head to toe and while I was headed home a noti on my phone said lebrons not playin and didn’t even fly with the team 😂😂😂😂😂
It started with Pop when he sat all of his players against the Heat but everyone does it now, including Lebron. Remember when he used to take off a week or two about 3/4 through the season when he was in Cleveland? Kawhi, PG and AD are all injury prone. Lebron was doing it when he was healthy.
My best friends 10 year old nephew went to Kings game a couple nights ago to see Ja Morant his favorite player and he ended up not even playing. That’s lame
I trying to figure out why the media keeps on putting load management on the players. The Spurs organization started this and won 5 chips so of course other teams copy. The NBA should have stopped it with them.
The league could shorten the amount of games a season down to 44 games (cut the season in half), so that way every game is more crucial and important and less wear and tear on the players
If you wanna fix this, allow for more active players per game and cut down the star's minutes per game. You're getting enough revenue to do so, stars can then "load managed" while continuing to play, and then fans will be happy that stars will play more often! Injuries are a nature of the game, you can't totally prevent injuries from happening right now, but this could help mitigate some of it.
Their contracts should be enough incentive. Theirs guys on the bench making 20 mil a year and don’t play at all because their there just to trade bad contracts
If the FANS boycott for the first 20 games of the season and it is put out there that they are doing this because of load management, trust me that nonsense would stop in a hurry. Secondly you want to load manage ok cool, fine, no problem, but the games you load manage you won't be paid i bet you it would stop. Yes players will have genuine injuries it is a part of the game, but a healthy player sitting instead of doing his bloody job which he's being paid millions to do is just unacceptable. Stop coddling grown ass men full stop.
Yeah it was already disproved. That kid flies around to all the stadiums with similar signs trying to get memorabilia from all the star players. The Lebetard show talked about it already.

Fans literally have the power to stop this. Boycott the league, don’t attend games, don’t buy merchandise & don’t watch on tv. I bet you they won’t ever load manage another game again… however, we know that would be practically impossible to get every fan on the same page.
If it keeps happening they shouldn't get paid for not playing
Oh wait for the cba. Just wait. These players are gonna get ho slapped so hard they might have to sit out the first 2 games of the season for real because of the concussion the owners are about to give them.
This is flat out inexcusable. People are leaving the nba.
That's the issue....I'm sure they would accept playing less games but would balk at a paycut. The only player I've seen address that several years ago was Dirk....he said something like it would be ideal to play less games...but he also understood they'd have to adjust salaries to reflect that.
“Biting the hand that feeds them” reeks of “we own them and they owe us.” Secondly, you can’t constantly rip players for playing well in the regular season but not showing up in the playoffs, then be surprised they value the playoffs more.
One correction: for the kids in the US and Canada! The Warriors have sat Steph the last two years the team has came to Toronto. Has happened numerous times with other teams (Bron and AD rested and sat out in December) where if they are at the end of a road trip, stars won’t bother coming because they don’t want to go through customs. It’s honestly a damn joke at this point.
I agree with you 100%
Not just Steph every player including Lebron.
I forgot to buy a ticket to see Lebron when they came to Toronto. Good thing I did.
This is a really solid point

I agree with Rob’s take, but unfortunately nothing is gonna change until load management hits the owners in their pocketbook. We’re starting to see it in the TV ratings, next will have to be in ticket sales. The arenas are still full. If ticket sales start to drop congruent with ratings then something might happen
The cba will change this bellllled dat. Owners gonna put these dudes up on crosses. And it’s needed.
NBA's ratings have been in the dumpster for years. Sport is turning into trash with no rivalries, real divisions, flopping, referees that dont know what they're doing and load management.
@@iuhgfmnbert1744 you don’t think the billionaires don’t know this. Big changes are coming. I could see the nba gone for years. The owners aren’t going to budge.
@@corning1 Also I left out the fact that players refuse to play or leave a team every 4 years
@@iuhgfmnbert1744 dude you really don’t have any idea what’s going on do you? Stephen a said he has NEVER seen them this angry and ready to go to war and he was dead serious.

They will give them the first offer and the players will scoff, they will then make the offer worse! Players laugh, they will make the offer even worse slide that piece of paper over and say call us when you are doing making 500k in Russia. This may go years, nobody is going to outlast the owners. This is going to be a statement bro.
They are going to flat starve them out.
"Don't cry for me Argentina " 🤣🤣 rob is a savage lol
Sitting out games when you’re completely healthy is just a giant middle finger to the fans!!!
Lol they dont care. This is y basketball is trash. They get paid WAY to much.
Basically
Steve Kerr is a selfish pr*%* for always doing this
If you’re angry about it look at people like Rob Parker and other media people. They have made careers out of DESTROY players for not performing late in the season and downplaying what they do in the regular season.
You can’t spend decades complaining about players that are drained when they get to the playoffs then be surprised that teams came up with a method to work around it.
Media people like Rob are the reason players and teams don’t care about the regular season. They have created this mentality that nothing matters except your playoff performances then complain players are valuing the playoffs so highly.
@@iuhgfmnbert1744 the issue is the people in the video you’re watching, how many times has he trashed players for being only good in the regular season? Now he’s acting incredulous at the idea players value the playoffs more.
On average they play every 2 days or so plus travel. But they get at least 4 months off after the season, most teams get 5 or 6. You should be using the off season to recover but also to stay in shape for the regular season. You’re getting paid enough to set up the next 3 generations of your family, I think you can let yourself go hard for 6 months out of the year
Kobe played with broken fingers to simply never let a fan down. At this point I think fans should be able to sue teams or be fully refunded for trip and ticket.
This is why the NFL does not want to hand out full guaranteed contracts. There’s no incentive to play, just say you have back spasms and you get to go home and collect a check
NFL is so different though. EVERY game matters. You don't want your team losing because of a rest day. 1 game was the difference between Dallas winning the division. 1 game was difference between SF getting the one seed. The Lions were eliminated from the post season due to a minor tie breaker.
@@ky6632 do you think NFL players really suck it up and play cuz they wanna win? Some of them yeah but most of them gut it out and try to play because a lot of their contracts are tied to incentives. So if they miss out one game that could be the difference in getting a 750,000 bonus whether it’s catches or time played or whatever.
@@bryansilva6306 Many do. But guaranteed contracts don't stop you from adding incentives. You could always add additional bonuses for stats/making pro bowl/playing a certain percentage of games/etc. Guaranteed money wouldn't be as high but it would be guaranteed and they could always earn $X amount more via negotiated incentives.
NBA just isn’t producing the same product….. I can’t remember the last time I watched a full game. I miss the 90’s early 2000’s I mean yes the game involves and changes. But me personally just not a big fan of the league as a whole right now.
Guys are as talented and skilled as ever before, and yet I can't remember a time since I was a child just learning about the game of Basketball, that I've been LESS interested in the NBA. This load management crap is going to lose more and more fans the more this continues.
It’s weird cuz these dudes more athletic/skilled but visually the game was way more entertaining in the 2000s and 2010s right before the Warriors era changed everything
@@billionbergapNBA changed the rules to cater everything to the offense. They didnt want those final scores like 82-79. They want 100+ point games. But the positive side of the lower scores were that each basket was so valuable. Nowadays any team can comeback from 15-20 point deficits because they jack up 3s and its an overall higher paced game
@@billionbergap That's because we had teams with different styles. Some teams played big, some small, some shot 3s more, some couldn't shoot, some relied on ball movement
@@billionbergap It was more games where u wanted to see which style would win. Like chess. Nowadays everyone plays the same way.
Rob Parker speaking truth. Respect!
Important to mention the frequency of injury is at all time highs, there is no correlation between this load management era and the previous generations that didn't. Results show the opposite.
I honestly think it’s due to less contact being allowed. Dudes bodies not used to hard contact/fouls
Its the finesse and high paced nature of the game now. More injuries due to the current play style
Yeah I don’t really see how it follows that playing less will allow you to go hard in the playoffs. How does playing less often prepare you to play harder more often
players today are soft bro
hard to say it but the facts bear it out
Gordon Hayward got injured in the first game of the year for Celtics. No amount of load managing can account for that. Although I do wish there were fewer injuries.
This load management makes it hard to root for this era of players. I don't care about the money. I care about the integrity of the game as a fan & this is nonsense - especially when teams are asking fans to spend ridiculous amounts of money to attend these games.
@OHiWONder Gaming
I don’t agree! The teams are not asking fans for anything. No one put a gun to the fans head to force them attend a NBA game! Fans “voluntarily donate” their money to go to a NBA game! Going to a game is a “want” not a “need”! All the owners and the NBA care about 💰💰💰 at the end of the day!
Oh so you think the ticket prices will go down if the season is cut down?? It's only going to be higher than ever before because now it will be limited and teams will have to make up for those lost profits. Fans need to quit complaining because a player's health is more important than some damn kids crying!

@@kelj4517 teams literally ask fans to attend games. I know because of marketing. Hell, the ATL hawks been cold calling me over the break to get season tickets.
Between load management and watered down defense and over-officious referees the game stinks to watch. My grandmother could score 30 points in todays nba
It’s sickening watching players travel all over the perimeter, illegal screens & carries. I used to love watching basketball. Not anymore
All facts u spoke
Your grandmother in a walker and an oxygen tank could play better defense than Steph Curry 😂
Take a shot everytime the light skinned dude says he’s wife is a medical doctor 😂
this issue will be moot, when fans turn their backs on NBA for load management.
Hey if it was to happen...them NBA areas would be like the WNBA areas 25 to 271 ppl in the building
Pretty soon I can envision the league playing just 50 games glad I was able to see real competition in the 80’s,90’s, 2000’s
Completely agree. Soft generation big time! This wasn't happening in Jordan's day. Players played. And it was a more physical era!!! SOFT!!!
The Washington Capitals won the Stanely Cup during the 2017-18 season. Alexander Ovechkin played all 82 regular season games and all playoff games. And if you watch Ovechkin play, he plays a very physical brand of hockey. Now he is a bit of a unicorn in the NHL, but it shows it can be done.
Also, would be cool to see their stats go down.. "if you load manage, all your stats will be 0 for that game"
For all the ones who say the talent in the NBA is soo much better then previous generations, yet it's softer, players have better equipment, better medical treatment and on and on and players in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s got the crap beat out of them and played every night. And the NBAs way around it is just make a injury up, "wrist soreness" or "stubbed toe" or whatever. Kevin Durant would of gotten broken in half if he had to go against the 80s/90s pistons or going to the rim against Shaq or Hakeem.
I like Jalen Rose idea. If you sit out, your stats get 0's for that game. Once players see their averages being brought down they will stop load managing.
ka -BOOM
this plus what rob said together---they have to miss 4 games with zeros in the stat column; suddenly most players will be playing 78-82 games every yr like they used to
That’s a great idea!!
Kawhi might average 8 points a game with those rules 🤣
They would just create another metric like GAP(games actually played) to measure a player’s statistical performance. So Kevin Durants averages go from 20/5/3(including his games missed due to load management). To 30/8/5 in GAP. I think teams and fans would most likely just overlook the new metric and focus just on games played.
@@ryankenealy4837 why would the nba penalize them for sitting out games and THEN create a new stat which UN-penalizes them??
that makes no sense whatsoever
The thing is, the 30 year olds of today (that is, younger NBA players) are no different than the kids they are disappointing. They throw tantrums and hissy fits when they don't get their way lol
For all the load management, these dudes are always injured, it doesn’t add up
Happened to me and my family TWICE, LeBron when he was with Cleveland the 2nd time..Living n Indianapolis at the time, brought Pacer/Cavs tickets for me wife nd 3 kids spent $600 and he didn't play but was on the bench ke ke'n we were so mad! Then the following season did it again..
Damn you just had bad timing lol

@@smoothgent1011 OK
Simple solution, don't buy tickets.
If you wanna see the team, buy a ticket.
If you want to see a player, wait until the playoffs.
Be smarter with your money.
It's hard to get playoff tickets and they are really expensive.
Shut up dude. What a clown comment.
I think part of it that hasn’t been discussed is that a lot of players have streaks and awards that They don’t want to jeopardize. Players could easily load manage within a game. Maybe play 15 mins, 20 mins… but if I have a streak of 20 points a game or if I only score 10 pints in 15 mins, then it will mess up my averages. That’s part of the problem.
I have an easy fix for this. It doesnt matter if you shorten the season. You have to financially penalize the players/teams for missed games
What a stupid take no one should be forced to play if they aren’t 100%
I ALMOST went to the Mavs vs Clippers game here in Dallas a few days ago. Always wanted to see Kawhi play live. BUT, I didn't know if he would, so I kept my $300 in my pocket and watched it from home.
The league needs to get this under control.
Naw the league is always going to make money load management or not! It’s fans like you and others that make a “donation” to the NBA to keep them profitable!
I’m with you. I refuse to pay for tickets to not see my favorite players live.

Didn't I JUST say I "DIDN'T" go to the game? So, how exactly are "fans like me" making "donations" when I DIDN'T pay?
Make it make sense.
You made the safe bet. Kawhi literally almost never plays.
@@nr9794
It's BS!
I'm in my mid-40's, so I've been going to games since the mid-80's. And prior to the past 8-10 years, I purchased tickets and never ONCE worried about a perfectly HEALTHY player not being on the court. If they're sick or injured, perfectly understandable. Get better.
But, this "I'm tired" thing, when I've watched DECADES of players play all 82-games in a far more physical era, doesn't sit right with me.
Jimmy Butler seems like a really great guy.
This hurts the NBA that's why the ratings are low ... the NBA pays their players too much. They need to tell players if you don't play 90% of the season you can't play in the playoffs injuries included. Let's see who's really about winning. True Champs grind it out
The ratings are absolutely fine if y'all have a problem with it. Here's a simple solution. Don't watch it.
Worst part is because they dont practice crazy, and load manage most of them dudes suffer from soft tissue injuries. Their bodies aren't prepped for the marathon. They asked Grant Hill about load managing, or shortening the season he said no. The NBA is supposed to be a hard grueling marathon and this is s dude who suffered multiple prime killing injuries back to back to back to back to....Alright yall get the point. The "science" says he would've benefitted from load managing during his prime like Kawhi is today
All of this is due to the CBA and how contracts have been guaranteed. Hell, if I could call in day after day and still get paid who wouldn’t do it??
This CBA negotiations are gonna be interesting.
Not only is load management a problem but the three point shot sucks and ruined the game. It basically killed the back to the basket center and killed fast break basketball in the process. Nothing worse than watching guys run to the three point line or shoot a three with 20 seconds on the shot clock. I used to love watching all the great centers go at it....nevermind but AAU style ball sucks
The 3 point shot never ruined the game, it has always existed since 1979. It's people trying to copy golden state that ruined it. Difference is golden state has the greatest shooting backcourt of all time and it's not even close. I love watching guys post up and shoot middies but very few actually do it. The ones that do are the ones that can get buckets
All the Skills, players have in this generation. Toughness isn't one of them.
The science says too many games. They travel private, have multiple trainers, nutritional advances, the game is easier etc
Guys are playing too many games, too early in life. They focus solely on basketball or one sport in elementary school, playing traveling AAU, having individual trainers 5 days a week for 8 Years before they get to college. All this wears on the joints. Achilles tears, quad injuries etc are injuries we normally hear in basketball. Yes Dominique tore his Achilles, but it's hard to remember in the 80/90/00s others who did this.
In the last few years. Achilles tears. Klay (while working out in the summer) KD, Kobe, Boogie Cousin.
Cutting the season, won't make a difference. Guys will still take games off.. there is a lot of entitlement in the game now, from HS and up. Everyone has a mixtape, Everyone is elite. These are lies.
The Denver nuggets did the same last night I wanted to see Giannias vs Jokic but nope
Trust me it's not Jokić he do not do that he always plays... Denver did that 💯 plus Jokić have 2 or 3 things right now so
Nba been a lost cause for a few years now
worse thing to happen to the NBA is legalization of Sports betting. Adam Silver is already trying to Engineer more points and 3pt shots. The integrity of the game of the game is destroyed because of greeed. You think the players make $50 million a year w/out Sports betting? NBA is rigged allegedly.
They should have to do a meet & greet if they're load managing for that game. Fans won't see them play but they'll get a chance to see that player.......just saying 🤔.
Solid idea
I’ve been at games and seen players go through shooting around looking great but still windup not playing
Just shorten the season. So many meaningless games. If it was shortened the tension and every game would matter more in the standings and seeding and EVERY game would matter like in the NFL. But even then I'm sure NBA stars will load manage. This ain't the tough era of the 90s on back where players played every game including the playoffs year after year for decades through illness injuries etc. Just shorten the season because this generation of players will never play anything remotely close to 80 anything ever again but they will always look clean ASF on the bench with the newest drip on their nights off so there you go new gens, there you go.
Even if you shorten the season they will still take games off
Your solution is a bad one. The best solution is to make these young players play.
They still going to sit
The length of the season isn't the issue it's the product, boney non athletic guys, no defense, jacking up 3's as soon as players pass the half court line.
@@Dadailyhussle then you don’t get paid. And if you don’t play a certain amount of games you lose a substantial amount of your salary PERIOD. Bet kawhai gets his lazy ass up to play. Can’t stand that lazy pos.
I spent $400 to see Lebrun in Memphis a few years ago. He didn’t even make the trip there and we weren’t told until 30 mins before
How long ago was this?
I been saying for a couple of years if the superstar ppl want to see don’t play the fans should be able to get a refund of their tickets 🤷🏾♂️
Not a full refund of course, cause they still attended the game but a decent portion, maybe even half, should be refunded.
Can’t really get behind Robs rant. You want less injuries, play less games. Ya do that then these kids get priced outta tickets. If we capitulate to every sob story a fan has to see their favorites then you open the door to an insatiable monster of expectation.
I also think they shouldn’t be allowed to load manage at away games. The arena tickets skyrocket when certain teams come to town just for you to find out players on the other team are load managing. That has happened to me before and it’s frustrating.
Why don't call out Kawhi Leonard for this He is the guy that steeling money from the NBA Kawhi can't play back to back
I like the if you miss one, you have to miss the next 3 concept. As MJ said, I play every single game because there is a kid or a family coming to see me and this may be the only game they can ever see me or the only game they will ever go to period. It's sad because I'm from the DMV and am now in okc and we recently have been one of those places that no one cares about so teams tend to always load manage against us. Many times I look at the schedule and want to buy tickets to see lebron, steph, etc but I don't because I don't think that they will play but they will play the next game in the state over against Luka... Smh
Well at least Luka played against okc lol.
As a Suns fan I'm gonna shout out Mikal Bridges. To this day, he has played every single game since he joined the NBA
And miss game checks, 4 game checks
Load management will continue especially since there is so much emphasis placed on the Post-Season and Championships; yes these are important. However, in recent times we have placed so mush value on Rings and things that the regular season has become some what irrelevant. The poster boy for this is Kawhi, who was praised for load managing as long as it brings you the Championship; when the ends justify the means this will be a consistent theme.
Sport is turning into trash with no real rivalries, real divisions, flopping, referees that dont know what they're doing and load management.
It's the guaranteed contracts and the amount of money that's the problem. Even average players are getting $20 million per year, and they are getting the money whether they play or not.
@@michaeljohnson7945 I tend to agree with this statement as a lot of average players are way overpaid and then teams are handicapped when better players become available. Then again a lot of teams practice organizational malpractice.
@Lauriston Parris That's why I can't side with the owners because they chose to pay these guys the amount of money they are getting.
For example, no one told Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan he had to pay Gordon Hayward a $30 million-per-year contract in free agency. Hayward was an injury-prone, slightly above average player before he came to Charlotte, so Jordan can't be shocked that Hayward is still an injury-prone, slightly above-average player now.
If the owners practiced better fiscal judgment when handing out contracts, then they would not have this mess.
Its a pretty simple fix you miss a game you don't get payed injured or not
How’s he gonna bring up Bron not playing when the crosstown team has two stars who don’t play more than they play lol

Kawhi been doing it his entire damn career!
@@blaketindle4703 exactly so don’t bring up Bron. Say Kawhi
That's why I wouldn't spend money on an NBA game. Watch that BS on TV and you won't be disappointed. And these players today think that they are supposed to be worship. And it's a big ass problem because the owners and coaches are helping them do this load management.
If a player “load manages” then they should have to sit 7 days … if you’re “hurt” then this gives you time to heal.. 🤷🏾♂️
That's a bit much. Sometimes older players don't play back to backs or genuinely need to sit a game as the best strategy to win future games.
And not get paid.
Maybe implement a certain amount of PTO for injures and then after a player uses up those PTO games the player starts getting reduced pay or no pay for missed games. Something has to be done or people are going to stop going to live games or tune out.
This will be addressed at the next collective bargaining agreement by the league and it won’t be pretty for the players
Ima say this about this show… ROB ALWAYS brings up lebron or Steph when it comes to this load management thing in segments about it but NEVER does he mention the CLiPPERS or KAWHI I noticed that recently… the hate comes out real bad agaisnt guys he don’t root for but it’s crickets about the team and player that does LOAD MANAGEMENT the MOST..

Not Pg
Not Ad
Lebron
It started with Pop when he sat all of his players against the Heat but everyone does it now, including Lebron.
Remember when he used to take off a week or two about 3/4 through the season when he was in Cleveland?
Kawhi, PG and AD are all injury prone. Lebron was doing it when he was healthy.
This actually happened to one of my homies … they was pissed and it was like 2 of them birthdays
My best friends 10 year old nephew went to Kings game a couple nights ago to see Ja Morant his favorite player and he ended up not even playing. That’s lame
Its the kids and moms fault for traveling 4000 miles without checking the injury report first.
I trying to figure out why the media keeps on putting load management on the players. The Spurs organization started this and won 5 chips so of course other teams copy. The NBA should have stopped it with them.
Nobody came to see them play though the most boring team in the league 🤷🏿♂️
@@Dipset415 I get it but my point is that management started this trend not the players
The league could shorten the amount of games a season down to 44 games (cut the season in half), so that way every game is more crucial and important and less wear and tear on the players
2 things I hate Load management and these refs
The Rob 1 missed game +3 games so a total of 4 makes a ton of sense. I hope they do something like this or the baseball system.
Bravo Rob!!! 👏
I'm not impressed with parents using their kids to get stuff
The is mostly a mentality issue. Dudes don’t wanna play
They wanna be lil Hugh Hefner's
Dear mom, Don't travel 48 miles to see dudes with fake dreds
If you wanna fix this, allow for more active players per game and cut down the star's minutes per game.
You're getting enough revenue to do so, stars can then "load managed" while continuing to play, and then fans will be happy that stars will play more often! Injuries are a nature of the game, you can't totally prevent injuries from happening right now, but this could help mitigate some of it.
I thought this was the stronger faster better basketball player. Firemen and plumbers were far more durable then this.
*Thats how POP did it for the Spurs at first, but over time it went from reducing minutes to full game when other teams started to copy the idea*
reduce the ticket cost , problem solved
Either give incentives to players for more games played. Or give incentives to fans who attended those games players missed.
Their contracts should be enough incentive. Theirs guys on the bench making 20 mil a year and don’t play at all because their there just to trade bad contracts
The millions they get isn’t incentive enough?
No way you saying these guys need MORE money to do their job ????
If the FANS boycott for the first 20 games of the season and it is put out there that they are doing this because of load management, trust me that nonsense would stop in a hurry. Secondly you want to load manage ok cool, fine, no problem, but the games you load manage you won't be paid i bet you it would stop. Yes players will have genuine injuries it is a part of the game, but a healthy player sitting instead of doing his bloody job which he's being paid millions to do is just unacceptable. Stop coddling grown ass men full stop.
Yeah it was already disproved. That kid flies around to all the stadiums with similar signs trying to get memorabilia from all the star players. The Lebetard show talked about it already.
For real? How have these guys not done their homework
I agree if you claim your sick and missed one game you have to missed the next 3-4 games to get healthy
