The funny thing about this: Even though the NHL has the same number of games as the NBA, most of the star players will play on an average of 60 to 82 games a year for each regular season; unless, they are injured.
I know right? Do you know if any other sports league in which players do anything similar to the NBA load management? The European soccer season is pretty intense, and some of the teams play extra games nearly every week through the champions league which necessitates travel out of the country for away games. So they play a weekend in their own country, travel for Wednesday game into another country, then fly back home for another game on the weekend.
@@dronesclubhighjinksand football (I’m English, call the sport whatever you wish) is a much more intense sport, 45mins a half, 15min break, some players play a full 90 minutes week in week out, European tournament games, international team games etc. As much as I enjoy basketball, this load management stuff is embarrassing, the amount of money the players are on and they can’t suit up any play 65+ games a season…NBA needs to start point deductions if unless injured, players sit out more than X amount of games
It is almost the same with any athletic activity if you don't consistently do it, take time off, and then try to ramp up to 100%...you are going to hurt yourself. Load managing really isn't prolonging anything. Kawhi has played 264 less games than bad back Larry Bird and Larry was only in the NBA for 2 more season than Kawhi currently and only played 6 games in 88-89. It is just prolonging that check cause they ain't playing more games.
That's the problem teams rest players so they get healthy which is fine. The main issue with that is they'll go from a night off to playing nearly 40 minutes the next day. The reason it worked for the spurs is cus their "load management" was minutes based. 39 yo duncan played 77 games as the anchor of a championship defense. For all the talk about LeBron's longevity he cant even get to 60 games consistently anymore
Difference is getting another max contract. We are talking about almost double the money in a single season than what Bird made in his entire career. So yeah, players today have all the incentive to try prolong their careers as much as possible and care less about accomplishments and winning. Or even playing.
What is crazy is the NBA is not a grueling league physically. Contact is basically against the rules, and the time outs, fouls, out of bounds and commercials stop the game every 2-3 minutes at most. They “play” 36 minutes but with 10-12 breaks in those minutes, the game goes on for two hours and they only travel on average 2.5 miles in that time.
To the fans hes like a guest star. Cant expect to see him play when you buy tickets. For zion and Kawhi fans its probably already expected, but the fans will realize and stop paying eventually
Even with Damian Lilliard coming to my team, even with my NFL team the Packers absolutely sh*tting the bed this season I am still just not that interested in watching the NBA until much closer to the end of the season. Which is weird because when I was growing up I couldn't stand football and only watched the NBA. Load management, open and accepted season long tanking and players that just don't seem to care are the reasons for me losing interest, I can see more intensity at a 5 on 5 pick up game at the park.
You should make a video praising star players who actually do have good conditioning and actually play games throughout the season. Players like Jayson Tatum and Nikola Jokic who play 70+ games in all but like 1 season. We gotta show some love to the stars who actually give a shit about showing up
When this stipulation was initially instituted I was already incredulous on if Silver would possess the fortitude to enforce this policy. As much as I despised David Stern for not giving Kobe Chris Paul for "basketball reasons" he would have never allowed the nonsense we see transpiring today. Jordan played all 82 games including playoffs a staggering 9 times whilst being the best player in the league for most of them. That's just something I don't believe we'll see again.
@smoothjulio337 I agree. That's why even though Kobe is my favorite player. Objectively, Jordan has always been the GOAT, and in my opinion, it has never really been a debate. The only perimeter player in history to average over 30+ points a game could lead the league in scoring whilst simultaneously being one of the greatest defenders and did so with consistency. Jordan was almost mythological. I wouldn't believe in half the things he did if footage of it didn't exist of it.
Lebron the last of that old guard of players playing thru injury. Also Wemby def gonna get hurt man he’s too tall. Once you hit over 7’0 your body just starts breaking down severely. Hopefully he’s just fantastic when he palsy to offset it.
So happy you made this video all that talk in the off-season about actually making these guys earn a paycheck and nothing has changed it wont change take away guaranteed contracts and it will change
Regarding the issues on Load Management, I wanted to give Adam Silver the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, it's another case of "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice; shame on me."
Beyond the rants, one of my favorite aspects of your content is how you'll interrupt your ranting to comment on some amazing moment in the b-roll. It's too funny. Keep it up.
At this point, just shorten the damn season to about 50 games. Really, it’s better than this load management BS. “Ow, I stubbed my toe, so I’m out for the entire season!” 🤕
Why would you do that, they would just play 30 games anyway, and if you cut the season this means you cut the salary big time and I don't think they want that to happen, just grow up and be men!
How about add two teams to make a 32 team league, and have them play 64 games in a season. One game vs each team in the other conference (16 after expansion) Four games vs each “division” opponent (12 games) Three games vs each team in your conference but not division (36 games)
why are they so lazy bro? they get paid millions of dollars to not even play the sport they get paid for. i understand serious injuries but a majority of “load management” injuries are not worthy of a sit. enough with the tomfoolery nba
Sorry for the paragraph below and I'm not looking to spark a debate, and thank you Commissioner for another amazing vid. Here goes: This is why the NBA should shorten the season. It would compensate for the games that aren't played. They should find a rough estimate of the average amount of games played by all players and modify the number of games towards that number. An in season tournament isn't going to change the players perspective on regular season importance. Lowering the number of games may not lower the intensity of the season, but would make load management not look as bad and could lower the rate in which it occurs.
NBA should have an official medical staff that would tell how the players were doing. They really need to investigate some shady injury time and have a punishment, and I mean a REAL punishment for all teams that fakes injuries. I don't believe they are injured most of the time. This x player drops 40 and then is injured the next game. Like frickin how?
The more money they make, the less games they play. They acting like politicians and Congress. I knew those _new_ rules were just cap. We haven't even hit a month yet and these clowns already load managing. I don't care so Imma keep it a buck...THIS ERA OF NBA BASKETBALL IS PURE GARBAGE. And these folks clowned the 2000s? LOL
If you want to look into injuries I would look for information about osteoblasts and osteocytes and how the more active you are the more productive they are and help in recovery.
Coaches need to be allowed to strategically manage their lineups..that's an important part of the game. The steps they took to combat load management are a step in the right direction, but what they need to do is make thw regular season mean more. When 2/3 of the conference get into the playoffs, there isnt a fight all season long to get in.
If you aren't constantly active.. And are consistently sitting out.. you are more prone to injuries when you come back and start pushing your body physically.
Considering the NBA is comprised of 30 teams, why not let let teams play each other twice(at home and away). If that's too little, that's where the NBA in season cup comes in to add to it.
And that small deal proved to be a hell of a bargain for the Warriors. But I remember when people thought they overpaid for Steph with that rookie extension in 2012 (5 years, $40 million), and that was chalked up mainly due to the ankle injuries.
First thing First great video my brother from another mother. If the players are hurt for real oh okay you could sit down and recover, but if you're load managing to get rest they should get fine at least 50k first time second time 100k and third time 200k because we the nba fans demand a better product we fund they pockets bring back hand checking as well and the officials need to be better as well no one gets special treatment super star or not period just play basketball
I completely agree with you. These guys have to get into the rhythm of the season and then they will get used to it. Also! Just play less minutes. At least show up.
The NHL and NBA swap players. I would expect the hockey players to complete an entire NBA season playing full minutes, with virtually no injuries. On the other hand, we'd see half of all basketball players injured less than a dozen games into the NHL season. With the other half expecting to take the week off to rest.
Then real issue is the organisations enabling the softness, not an easy fix. 😬 The only viable fix maybe to introduce a contractural reduced pay per amount of missed games/minutes clause for the [all-]star players. Basically salary vs hourly or commission.
Hard to dictate people playing, hard to argue against an “injury” it’s a culture thing league wide from management to medical staff to coaching staff to players, that’s why the recent tweaks to awards tied to games played haven’t made a difference, the change can’t come from a rules/ dictated stand point, the change just has to come from everyone involved it’s a mentality and mindset, nba turned these guys into hypochondriacs any little bump or bruise is reason to sit out
I do wonder if high salary players and players just making a lot of money has exacerbated the load management. The more expensive a player salary gets, the more teams want to manage their minutes in order to keep them healthy.
It's amazing how, with all the advancments in medicine, nutrition, and training, that these professionals can't even start the season healthy enough to play every day. Wtf are they doing all off-season? Unless you had major surgery you should be able tobstart the year healthy and play every day.
Nah, I kinda agree. When a season is 82 games, any given game loses all meaning. A shorter season would put more value on each specific game played. Do NOT think this is me supporting load management. I just think the NBA season is too drawn out. They sometimes have 10+ games on a night. Drop that to 4-6 and I can actually watch them all and they’ll mean more for standings.
@@jkashdamoneyman5870 sure, but that’ll be guaranteed to have more impact on their standings for playoffs if they do sit out. That’s why injuries in the NFL are so impactful. With 17 games, every single win matters. (To be clear, not saying we do down to 20 something games, but less games makes each individual game more meaningful)
The games are boring and players today are trash. No defense and everyone has the greenlight to shoot the 3. Everyone game looks the same. A shorter session with the same trash is going to be the same problem
@@ckingtruth sounds like you just don’t like the NBA…which is okay. Don’t watch something you dislike. Watch college (far better for what it sounds like you’re looking for). I agree to an extent, but it’s not going to change so complaining about it on YT accomplishes nothing
I will never get used to teams wearing whatever uniform, whenever. I have to look at the logo at center court. Then find that name on a colorful jersey to tell who the "home" team is. For seventy (70)+ years, home teams in White worked just fine. A sloppy, confusing mess.
The part of the video where you said "you don't want players to play themselves into early retirementlike Kobe" lol Kobe played 17-18 years before that injury... in the terms that kobe would say: players today are just too soft!
I think Kobe could have played longer if not for those injuries. He spent the last few years of his career basically toiling away and wasn't himself any longer. I should have explained my take better right there
@CommishDynamo That was more attributed to Kobe carrying that atrocious Lakers squad to the playoffs. I still believe that if David Stern had allowed Kobe to have CP3 it would have preserved his career as it would have delegated some of that load. But no all we got was Juwanna Mann Howard with no vertebrae and David Beckham Nash who tore the ligaments in his leg. Sad hours.
How can the NBA actually prove if a player doesn’t need load management? Accusing a guy of malingering might look bad. There are many types of injuries for which there is no test to prove or disprove it. Soft tissue injuries and concussion, for example.
Hamstrings are a perfect example of such soft-tissue issues. They can be tricky and linger for an extended period of time depending on the severity of the initial injury.
I’m answering my own question here, because I just looked it up a few days after this video. CBS has a Sept 2023 article that says “the criteria is simple: if you’ve been named to an All-Star team, or an all NBA team in the previous three seasons, you’re a star.“ Being a “star” gives 49 players the right to load manage and of course the list includes European raised players.
The masses will soon request a video on the Harden clippers being exposed by the Knicks of all teams! I know your feelings on the man but the potential is too good. The knicks with Randle who is so bad statistically while on the court, yes those Knicks.
Bro I always look forward to your uploads, congrats on 20k too homie🥳🥳 love and appreciate the grind, you be making my ass laugh so fucking hard every damn video lmao, keep up the vids commissioner🫡
Joe Smith was a beast at Maryland but I know what you mean ha. Baseball is the same way. Pitchers used to pitch even mediocre ones and they lasted 162. Guys throw half the time and blow their arms out yearly. It's a different era for sure.
This ESPECIALLY sucks if you happen to live in a town like I don’t know…Detroit? The best players won’t show up because why try against a young rebuilding team when it’s also not a massive market? Like even if you aren’t a fan of whatever small market team you live by it still hurts you since your favorite players will likely be “injured” just about every time they come to your city.
Load management became a thing around the Tail end of Tim Duncan's career around 34. This helped his game and pushed him to play until 40. Also he won one more chip. Both Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili. It works with an aging star but load management on a young guy in their prime years will actually shorten their career or not love the game as much for a pay check. It the NBA did shorten the season would players also take a cut on their pay? 😂 These young guys have it great right now.
Just start paying these guys on a per game basis. They want the full contract, play the full schedule, every game off reduces their pay. Will fix this 'load management' shit overnight
Yeah, he got some hops for sure. He's one of the reasons why this Portland rebuild sounds very exciting, besides Scoot and Anfernee. As an aside, Malcolm Brogdon's been BIG BALLIN' to start the season as well.
Just like with the jumping into defenders to get a foul or their anti complaining to refs rules? The NBA likes to create the illusion of actual rule changes
You can tell the players have no respect for Adam Silver and Silver just bends over and take from these players. As i've always said..."Stern would never."
The current generation (including older players) simply don't want to put in the xtra work to maintain fitness/health/logevity. As the saying goes - the older you get, the more work you have to put into your body to maintain the same results. That's why I respect LeBron so much in that sense.
82 games is stupid, alright. They wanna milk the fans for the price of more tickets, but don't give them the value! Any fan would be in their right mind to be furious, when the gold acquisitions of their team are simply warming up the bench. In my opinion, 1 away game and 1 at home game against the same team is enough for the playoff tournament. And what would determine seeding would be stats, in case of same victory record. Players would be encouraged to give their all to all the games...

The only viable fix maybe to introduce a contractural reduced pay per amount of missed games/minutes clause for the [all-]star players. Basically salary vs hourly or commission.
Hard to dictate people playing, hard to argue against an “injury” it’s a culture thing league wide from management to medical staff to coaching staff to players, that’s why the recent tweaks to awards tied to games played haven’t made a difference, the change can’t come from a rules/ dictated stand point, the change just has to come from everyone involved it’s a mentality and mindset, nba turned these guys into hypochondriacs any little bump or bruise is reason to sit out
Nah mamba mentality got him 5 rings that's what Kobe lived for, it was basketball RIP Kobe and Gigi
I do wonder if high salary players and players just making a lot of money has exacerbated the load management. The more expensive a player salary gets, the more teams want to manage their minutes in order to keep them healthy.
when supplied with baddies 😂
Bro you are gold😂😂😂 the memes are killer and love your points!!
"When supplied with baddies" lmao
It's amazing how, with all the advancments in medicine, nutrition, and training, that these professionals can't even start the season healthy enough to play every day. Wtf are they doing all off-season? Unless you had major surgery you should be able tobstart the year healthy and play every day.
*"but the game is so fast today players need to rest"*
Wilt Chamberlain meanwhile averaging 48.5 minutes per game in Chuck Taylor shoes ahahaha
First of all congratulations on the BIG 20k my boy! 🎉I have been here since 5k subs! Congratulations on your growth and success
UPDATE: Lakers bout to call for Cam Reddish to be traded cus he missed the game winner and Curry basically clapped ya'll again lol
Kawhi and Pg been playing every game no excuses for everybody else
update the contract so they get paid based on the games/min played
Nah, I kinda agree. When a season is 82 games, any given game loses all meaning. A shorter season would put more value on each specific game played.
Do NOT think this is me supporting load management. I just think the NBA season is too drawn out.
They sometimes have 10+ games on a night. Drop that to 4-6 and I can actually watch them all and they’ll mean more for standings.
Double edge sword, you shorten the season, and guys are going to figure out a way to still play less games
@@jkashdamoneyman5870 sure, but that’ll be guaranteed to have more impact on their standings for playoffs if they do sit out. That’s why injuries in the NFL are so impactful. With 17 games, every single win matters. (To be clear, not saying we do down to 20 something games, but less games makes each individual game more meaningful)
The games are boring and players today are trash. No defense and everyone has the greenlight to shoot the 3. Everyone game looks the same. A shorter session with the same trash is going to be the same problem
@@Bonobo_JoJo Funny, because the NHL doesn't have this problem.
@@ckingtruth sounds like you just don’t like the NBA…which is okay. Don’t watch something you dislike. Watch college (far better for what it sounds like you’re looking for).
I agree to an extent, but it’s not going to change so complaining about it on YT accomplishes nothing
I will never get used to teams wearing whatever uniform, whenever. I have to look at the logo at center court. Then find that name on a colorful jersey to tell who the "home" team is. For seventy (70)+ years, home teams in White worked just fine. A sloppy, confusing mess.
Almost every team makes the playoffs. There's no need to play in the regular season.
Ja caught a stray n he aint even a player to sit out smh
I mean Jimmy and the Heat have already proved all you have to do is get into the playoffs
The part of the video where you said "you don't want players to play themselves into early retirementlike Kobe" lol
Kobe played 17-18 years before that injury... in the terms that kobe would say: players today are just too soft!
I think Kobe could have played longer if not for those injuries. He spent the last few years of his career basically toiling away and wasn't himself any longer. I should have explained my take better right there
@@DaCommishDude which is a part of the game man, he also had an amazing career due to his incredible work ethic with 5 rings, it is what it is
@CommishDynamo That was more attributed to Kobe carrying that atrocious Lakers squad to the playoffs. I still believe that if David Stern had allowed Kobe to have CP3 it would have preserved his career as it would have delegated some of that load.
But no all we got was Juwanna Mann Howard with no vertebrae and David Beckham Nash who tore the ligaments in his leg. Sad hours.
How can the NBA actually prove if a player doesn’t need load management? Accusing a guy of malingering might look bad. There are many types of injuries for which there is no test to prove or disprove it. Soft tissue injuries and concussion, for example.
Hamstrings are a perfect example of such soft-tissue issues. They can be tricky and linger for an extended period of time depending on the severity of the initial injury.
@@kokoro_gospel yes, exactly!
I’m answering my own question here, because I just looked it up a few days after this video. CBS has a Sept 2023 article that says “the criteria is simple: if you’ve been named to an All-Star team, or an all NBA team in the previous three seasons, you’re a star.“ Being a “star” gives 49 players the right to load manage and of course the list includes European raised players.
The masses will soon request a video on the Harden clippers being exposed by the Knicks of all teams! I know your feelings on the man but the potential is too good. The knicks with Randle who is so bad statistically while on the court, yes those Knicks.
1:07 in says all you need to know. BTW Luka has two injuries right now. Man still in there and looking pretty damn good.
Bro I always look forward to your uploads, congrats on 20k too homie🥳🥳 love and appreciate the grind, you be making my ass laugh so fucking hard every damn video lmao, keep up the vids commissioner🫡
Joe Smith was a beast at Maryland but I know what you mean ha. Baseball is the same way. Pitchers used to pitch even mediocre ones and they lasted 162. Guys throw half the time and blow their arms out yearly. It's a different era for sure.
This ESPECIALLY sucks if you happen to live in a town like I don’t know…Detroit? The best players won’t show up because why try against a young rebuilding team when it’s also not a massive market? Like even if you aren’t a fan of whatever small market team you live by it still hurts you since your favorite players will likely be “injured” just about every time they come to your city.
Load management became a thing around the Tail end of Tim Duncan's career around 34. This helped his game and pushed him to play until 40. Also he won one more chip. Both Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili.
It works with an aging star but load management on a young guy in their prime years will actually shorten their career or not love the game as much for a pay check. It the NBA did shorten the season would players also take a cut on their pay? 😂
These young guys have it great right now.
Congratulations on 20k, Dynamo!
i agree with 99% of what you say and how you approach things about the NBA.
2:44 that was some NBA street shit
This is why Jordan is the 🐐, Kobe is King, LeBron is the greatest,,, at hiding his blood tests for HGH use.
Just start paying these guys on a per game basis. They want the full contract, play the full schedule, every game off reduces their pay. Will fix this 'load management' shit overnight
I like the jordan/kobe random clip 🙏🐍⛹️♂️
So on point 😂
Bashing AD, bro game 6 and he might already be out for a min ... 😢.
having the GSW lineup change just because klays balls itch is starting to piss me off
Shaedon Sharpe #17 can sky.
Yeah, he got some hops for sure. He's one of the reasons why this Portland rebuild sounds very exciting, besides Scoot and Anfernee. As an aside, Malcolm Brogdon's been BIG BALLIN' to start the season as well.
You know I'll be managing my load this month.
Ha I see what you did there
Just like with the jumping into defenders to get a foul or their anti complaining to refs rules?
The NBA likes to create the illusion of actual rule changes
Facts
You can tell the players have no respect for Adam Silver and Silver just bends over and take from these players. As i've always said..."Stern would never."
W 20K les go and get 100k next
It was tough seeing those last years of Kobe because he was so beat up and old. Also because Lakers were rebuilding at that point.
He broke his finger snapped it back and still played!
I dove how so many nfl players manage to play 17 games but nba players cant seem to play a few games in a row of a non contact sport.
The current generation (including older players) simply don't want to put in the xtra work to maintain fitness/health/logevity. As the saying goes - the older you get, the more work you have to put into your body to maintain the same results. That's why I respect LeBron so much in that sense.
1. guaranteed contracts is stupid
2. 82 games is stupid
82 games is stupid, alright. They wanna milk the fans for the price of more tickets, but don't give them the value! Any fan would be in their right mind to be furious, when the gold acquisitions of their team are simply warming up the bench. In my opinion, 1 away game and 1 at home game against the same team is enough for the playoff tournament. And what would determine seeding would be stats, in case of same victory record. Players would be encouraged to give their all to all the games...
I don’t think the expansion of the playoffs has helped the load management problem, but I don’t watch basketball, maybe one of you can correct me
