NBA CRACKS DOWN ON LOAD MANAGEMENT!! KAWHI MIGHT RETIRE!! 

This is sad news for injury fans

Young fans like to talk so much shit about the older generations of NBA and Jordan and stuff, but the older generations didn't need a rule like this to be made let alone even brought up. Think about it.

Load management is the main reason I refused to pay for league pass.

I swear Adam Silver watches your videos. First it was the flopping rule change a couple weeks after your video. Now it’s the load management change a month after your first video on the subject. You’re changing the game Comish 🙏🏻.

I’m really glad that the NBA is not trying to have a daycare for these players

Ayo look all ima say is, Michael Jordan played 82 games almost 38 minutes a night in his very last season. A lot of these players just got bussys 🤷🏽‍♂️

No! Don't give Adam Silver any credit. David Stern would of had gotten this resloved in an instant. Stern would never 😂

How did Kawhi Leonard fall so hard?!? He won a title in Toronto then disappeared from the NBA?! It has to be the Clippers curse He should of stayed in Toronto

1:05 the exception is so specific it might as well just say "Rule doesn't apply to Lebron"

They coming for all fatherless activity

Older players didn't do load management ish and those 70-90's guys would get to the point of literally fistfighting each other, ridiculous you have to tell these new, actively playing dudes that they have to actually earn their pay lmao

I took a day off at a warehouse cause I had saved up 6 to 8 sick days and announced it a week in advance. My vice director got mad and tell me don’t do it again. Told him I accumulated those days and I intend to use them by law.

Wow, it’s almost like they’re trying to get the game back to its former glory. Next thing you know players and teams will be allowed to play more physical defense and stop with all the tricky tack fouls.

40 year old 2003 MJ would've lead the 22-23 season in games/minutes played.

Remember when everybody including Paul George got they feelings hurt because Stephen A rightly called out Kawhi Leonard? Well it looks like Adam Silverslippers agreed with him. Checkmate for Stephen A

We should get discounted tickets if the stars get discounted attendance

It will not work. These coddled babies will still find a way. The NBA is dying like everything else in America. They finally got the one thing I had left, college football.

Imagine saving up 2 buy 1 ticket 2 a game & u go & all the stars r on the bench in street cloths basically sayin fukk u & ur money, i need 2 rest my feet cuz i stubbed my toe last wk...

it's about damn time😂😂🎉🎉

I was waiting for this if Kwahi and AD and Ben Simmons has a problem with this they should be forced to retire without pay

Last time Ive checked, 90s players had to play year round. It wasnt that different back in the day specially trying to play against the bad boys.. you just need to endure , fast turnovers and physicality. The game wasnt that different lol . They are just big babies and specially managers wanna pamper their stars. Thats why team usa dont travel with all their stars to fiba or at the olympics. " risking an injure from Curry? Heeeeeeell now, my boy with stay at the league 🤡 Well, we can see the results of those decisions now. Diva treatment, and fear or traveling abroad and outside usa

Finally the NBA hires the local public school nurse to help regulate these player injury issues.😂

It will be interesting to see how this plays out! I’ve tried looking up if any other professional sports league of any sport has a similar concept but I have not been able to find one yet. Thanks for the video! 😁

This just illustrates how bad the NBA is. The fact you have to legislate people to play a sport they are are getting paid for is pitiful and means your league is trash

Wembamyamamama: 'guys I've decided to return to France and play 20 games instead now'

90s and early 2000s NBA players are like old Hondas and Toyota trucks you can beat em and treat em like crap, but they'll continue running on NBA players from now are like EV cars on wrong bump and its 3 months of no action and need to be maintained pampered to hell.

Less than zero chance that this ever gets enforced on anyone of note.

On the other hand, a few years ago the Celtics screwed over IT and didn't take good care of him. Dude gave his all despite injuries and his sister's death. One of the most historic playoff runs for an undersized player in NBA history yet the injuries took a toll. Now it's too late and no chance for him to recover. Unfortunately no NBA teams want him anymore due to negligence by the Celtics organization. There has to be some middle ground. If IT would have gotten SOME load management (not to the extent of Kawhi) he probably would be still playing at an elite level today.

Every couple months I'd call out on Monday's or Friday's from work to give myself a 3 day weekend because I was just so tired and literally needed an extra day to reset. But if you paid me millions of dollars to work 80 or a few more days out of the whole damn year! You know you can count on me to be there every day, on time and with the good attitude. When counting the practice days as work, they all have a couple months off every single year. I get 2 weeks paid vacation if I don't use them all up on call outs.

In the past the majority of the players in the NBA loved the game more than what the game gives them. Now the majority of the guys love the benefits they get more than the game itself.

I wish my job was like the NBA get payed MILLIONS and only have too work 60 to 70 percent off the year

Along with this, I think what the NBA will benefit from is less games. Not necessarily like the lock out seasons but more so less games in the same time frame that the NBA has been following. There will be no more excuses for players to rest along with this new rule. Every game will matter more and as a result, we'll see more entertaining basketball. Let's be honest there are way too many pointless games happening right now. This won't be easy to come by but I truly believe this is good.

Kawhi my favorite but the resting was getting so ridiculous

Let's get my guy to 100K, Detroit is ass tho.

All this complaining about workers (no matter how well paid) who want to protect their bodies just makes me more certain of one thing: some people like sports because it allows them to indulge their fantasy of someone working for them.

Just look back at kobe, or allen iverson so full of injuries This is totally booboo Pansier nba for pansier players

ad kawhi are punching the fuck outta the air right now

well... another bizarre development in this bizarre (from a European POV) discussion... because it's obviously NOT primarily the players pushing for load managment.. it's the Front Offices... who hire the medical staff to implement it... and they do so, of course, because OWNERSHIP wants it.. why is that concept so hard to grasp? I'd rather pay Kawhi $40m and sit him for the 24-29 regular season games I don't need to win to make the playoffs.. than pay him $40m for sitting out the entire season because some dumb c*nt refuses to accept that this is what happens when you overplay him.. or some other small issue in the knee becomes a rupture or something.. in Europe Kawhi would have probably been declared unfit to play with his condition.. and retired.. years ago.. same goes for Lonzo.. the reason they don't is a contractual issue between Ownership, the League and the Player's Union.. what happens to these massive contracts when a player has to retire due to injury? at the moment the organization, meaning OWNERSHIP, is stuck with it one way or another... if the League wants to now force them to play players against medical advise.. the League might hit a wall with Ownership, Front Offices, Coaching Staffs and players.. and rightly so..

Oh my God this is so therapeutic talk about the lifestyle that's what's different matters most. You can call them f****** plumbers if you want but back then they rode the buses they were treated like everybody else there was stuff that no modern-day player has to deal with. Also I'm watching your entire catalog on binging it

I'm diesel mechanic, my ankle hurts so much sometimes I can barely stand up guess what I still have 2 work

I'm so excited. We pay so much money to see these guys play and they decide to sit. If you're not hurt you play. I sympathize a lot more with a nurse working 12 hours vs a guy who has to put a ball in a hoop.

MBA is just like WWE It's Entertainment and also business neighborhood enough is going to change

Boo's-Boo's eh? 🤔

You understand that just because they’re forced to dress that doesn’t mean they will actually play alot of minutes. I wouldn’t be surprised if he dresses , but only plays like 5-10 min.

This generation of players lol no competitive drive thanks to LeBron lmao team hoping and all that bs and then Durant doing the same ish NBA is 🗑️

How are we even talking about lebron in this😂😂😂 man played hella min HE SHOULD GET A DAY OFF

Someone revive David Stern to bring back the competitive & aggressive factors of the game

Just tie salary to games played. See if any of these entitled millionaires would sit games.

I felt the quotations my brotha

But LeBron gets the rule changed for him

Outbreak of shin splints incoming.

NBA was forced to address "load management" due to pressure from the broadcasting network/s who thinks that with viewership-drawing stars sitting out o a lot of games hits their ratings and revenue. And with the contract re-negotation coming up, NBA has to do something to be able to demand a much higher broadcasting rights fee.

Good first step to make them look less like spoiled children

Load management in international cricket led to MORE injuries , not less. You lose match fitness sitting on your ass.

I gotta feeling they still gonna beat that system all you gotta do is play minutes restriction watch

What is the swishout video called that talks about kd and lebron not facing each other in five years?

Gregg Popovich started Load Management, Sitting Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili on a TNT game. LeBron James did Load Management on the Road and missed a Memphis Grizzlies sellout game, 1 time to see LeBron James play and LeBron sits out.

Needed to add JJ Redick saying today’s NBA is physical as the 80’s.

This is great news but I see a lot of players playing half speed and not giving to fucks about it.

That's what I'd propose: - 52 games total for a season per team. 82 is a ridiculous number and it is demonstrated that big market teams schedules are favored over smaller ones. 52 represents less of a risk of injury due to overburn, with more leeway for intensity during matchups. - mandatory pay severance for unjustified rest game or absence, with a minimal cap of 20% of the per game salary. To be settled during the contract. - allow heated rivalries to form again and don't punish trash talk. Shuting up a big mouth is the biggest incentive for a butt to quit the bleacher.

none of that would ever happened if David stern was still alive.

Can we consider basketball a professional sport anymore?

The moment you got up to James Harden, I sigh so hard like how you felt Dynamo

I hope this will be enforced and just not lip service

I’m from the D, and stop coming to game cause stars don’t play us

Both the la teams are cooked😂😂😂

Commish still goin strong!!!

Didnt watch shit you said,,, already liked and commented fam

These guys are lazy employees.after so many days off because they don't feel like working a regular guy would be fired . DO YOUR JOB little girls😮

1k likes. Could stand looking at that 999. Your welcome.

Pin me if I tricked you Read more...

This really shows you the mentality of players and management when it comes to competitiveness. I see why old heads call this generation soft

Just forcing players to play is slapping a band aid on an amputation. It’s not going to stop the bleeding (the real problem at hand). The real problem is players don’t want to play. In every era of sports in the past, the mentality of all professional athletes was “you will have to take me off this field on a stretcher to get me off it.” Every sport. Nolan Ryan wanted to go out and throw 40 complete games a year, Isaiah Thomas refused to come off the court in the Finals despite severely injuring his ankle, Michael played every single game of his final season at nearly 40 Minutes per game. I could go on, but it’s not necessary. Point is, this isn’t a physical problem, it’s a mentality problem. Like Commissioner D said, the players are spoiled, lazy divas making too much money and not doing enough work.

i'm definitely dreaming. first the tanking, then flopping then load management? is this silver's redemption arc? honestly i don't get the intense resting they do. isn't it much more likely to injure a player when they rest for so long then have them go back to 100% in as fast and as few games as possible? feels like it would be more beneficial to keep the players nba ready by playing rather than get them cold by resting way too many games

Is it me or does Adam Silver look like a House Elf?

Hey commissioner, kawaii just commented about being the face of load management you should check it out

if a player don’t wanna play a PRE-SEASON game then fuck it. But regular season, that’s unacceptable unless injured

I feel a lawsuit coming for injury

They need to say. You don't play a game load managing. No game check. If you seriously injured that's different. Hit them in the wallet. Load manage to much still. Fine them. Fifty thousand a game.

It’s simple you just gotta fine the players and cut their salaries sorry all of us in the real wordl have limited time that we can miss with pay you shouldn’t be any special either. NBA the only sorry as league where players don’t wanna play

My Houston Rockets won’t load manage because we can’t afford it, so i’m happy 😎👌🏾

Malika Andrews: Commissioner Dynamos search history on September 7th 2022 reveals…

Commish, trains are far more comfortable than airplanes. Way more comfortable. Even old trains.

Boy, nba team now it's like having 15 sttelers wide receivers in term of charcture nowadays

LOL! sorry commish, but "kawhi might retire" didn't age well. love your vids!

now you tell me NBA tough today pffft! this self entitled players are off the roof!

😅 2:08 Was that Adam Jones or Jawn Louis sitting behind LeBron?

looks like the kawhi injuries are missing the playoffs this year

Next up, it's about damn time that clowns like simmons, kawhi, others who SIT OUT SEASONS while under contract for 20-40M a year

I like this rule because if we’re going to a NBA game and purchase 500$ tickets we are going to want to see someone the Star players. We want to see Curry not someone like Cory Jospeh But who know if this rule will actually do anything. Yes PHYSICALLY they’re ready to go but MENTALLY? That’s a whole different story. And it doesn’t really matter if they’re faking or not, who are we to argue that they’re are. And if the nba says “you have to play or we are going to fine you” then a lot of lawyers are going to get involved and of course they have the money to fight it in court.

Kawhi is going to crush your head like a peanut with one hand.

Ladies and gentlemen I have an announcement to make. Ahem. Larry Bird. That is all

He needs to get his butt up and play basketball

1:51 David Stern would've been pissed

You got mad when you seen James Harden

Oh what a day! WHAT LOVELY DAY!

Bro Bron ain't wrong you sound crazy

We all knew there would be a LeBron exception 🤦🏽‍♂️ I definitely think some opposed to load management are kinda extreme. And it's pretty gross to see people talk about (predominantly young black men) as if they have to be out there performing no matter what cause...? But I also think LM is getting obscenely abused to the point that it's ripping off fans and becoming unhealthy for players who are losing conditioning and all that. I understand most people can't live up to players like MJ, Kobe, Stockton, etc, but why not keep it reasonable like the aging Spurs or take reduced minutes like Kareem did later in his career? It's far more respectable and respectful. It maintains physical conditioning better to help avoid injury and stay in playing shape. As a fan it's always a bummer when ya show up and your favorite player isn't out there but it's way worse if ya play 55/82 games than if ya played ~70 games and I can just consider it an unlucky thing instead of a predictable and infuriating thing. Something has definitely gotta give but I also think it's wild to think people can practice, work out, play at the highest level, and then have a decent life away from the game to keep em grounded without em taking time off now and then. The LM apologists seem full of it and the super anti-LM types are overly emotional old heads that don't care about the players, player longevity, or science.

Lots of good points made but the real issue of load managing is by the fault of the NBA itself and its that the regular season doesn't matter. The teams that are the worse offenders of load managing (Lakers, Clippers, Warriors) are often trying to compete for titles with aging injury prone stars so it's makes logical sense to rest them and keep their bodies in tact for the "real games" which is bad for the fans and the league. They can get away with this because its easy to make the playoffs, if you look at top 8 seeds of each conference that's 16 teams out of 30 making the playoffs, over half the league gets in, not to mention the play-in while fun to watch gives teams even more reason to lax in the regular season because they know that as long as they stay in the top 10 they have a shot. 10 out of 16 teams (66%) in each conference basically makes the playoffs. (play-in is basically apart of the playoffs to me even if the league say its not) In other sports leagues, it's a lot harder to make the playoffs because their is less spots available so they need their stars to play almost every game to increase their chances, in the NBA every game doesn't feel important so theirs no pressure to play stars as often. This rules should help but teams will loopholes.

How do you prove an injury is real or not, this is the type of thing that cause the Kahwi Spurs rift. So they will just use that to load manage. To solve this the league needs to change every contract to a play for pay. You get paid per minute you on the court. Fans don't get refunds for load management so plays should not get paid for it.
