Gilbert Arenas' SIMPLE Plan To Fix The NBA's Injury Problem

[@corpyhogan4433]

If LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant came into the league and grew up playing back to backs while still having Hall of Fame careers it's no excuse for this new generation lol Gil is right, training in the off-season has to get better

[@deecool47]

The problem with that framework is that all 3 of those players are outliers. They are one of one for a reason.

[@egrassa1480]

​@@deecool47if you look further, into 90 people played more games on average, more people played full 82 games and had less injuries despite inferior medicine industry and sport science

[@rolandu.1167]

We need a camera behind Lexi, so when everyone is being loud, she can turn around and get her shit off

[@CantEditDaTruth]

dog that would be so fuckin creative of a production feature. a tiny lil lex-cam right behind her. dog that’s genius

[@1227weaverb]

People overcomplicate this too much. The biggest problem is the pace and space. These players have to cover more ground and recover for teammates than they ever have so they are exerting more energy. Statistics actually back this. Once the game slows back down you’ll start seeing less injuries.

[@TTJJCC]

Sounds like poor conditioning and not enough stretching or core exercises.

[@dreydegrate7094]

I just said this! This is facts!

[@1227weaverb]

@ or maybe their bodies aren’t built to cover that much ground at that size. Go watch a game from 2004 and watch a game now. These players are in great shape, there’s just more responsibility now. You’re not completely wrong but people have this weird obsession with questioning NBA players’ effort. These dudes been playing nonstop since they were kids when you factor in HS, NCAA, AAU, NBA. It makes sense their bodies would break down.

[@seanfraser8456]

​1227weaverb that's the problem, there only playing and not training/conditioning their bodies for what they have to do to compete.

[@arealgoodguy]

The role players on offense they're just stand at the 3 point for 20 seconds. It's just the stars who are really getting injured. They're doing the most to initiate the offense.

[@Almanacplanting-g6o]

I watched this again and it still hits!

[@_moegreen5770]

Players don’t even play in the preseason . They sit out all the way til the last game. You can’t train your body for a full contact sport if you’re constantly sitting down

[@lemuelconde]

Make the salary on a "per game played" "NO PLAY - NO PAY", If a player is missing a game it means it will deduct to his contract.. AND I GUARANTEEEEE YOU all of this will be gone!

[@Johnny.Natural]

Its simple they don't have trainers who teach these kids how to prevent "injuries", look at how some players know how to instinctively brace and stiff arm or push off, you can literally reduce 50% of injuries simply by just knowing how to prevent players from making direct contact with you

[@Eliyah-EliyahuYahudah]

In some cases, depending on where you live in this country, they don't do two-a-days in football anymore. When I played, we used to do two-a-days, and when we went to training camp, we used to do three-a-days.

I honestly think they train too much and not give their body a chance to recover they say what they want about harden but hes rarely hurt and it's because after the season he goes into party mode

[@michaelsousa590]

It's the new generation. Don't waste your energy being stressed out that they tend to be entitled, lazy crybabies. Not to say that true warriors aren't still out there, they most definitely are. They're just harder and harder to come by. Live your life to the fullest, take care of your family and don't try to stop that tidal wave because it's coming in...

[@penkima4923]

You need fathers to raise warriors. The owners in the society are claiming the opposite.

[@KingSilv527]

11:40 "Whassup Gil" 🤣🤣😂

[@bpdmf2798]

Plenty of guys have no trouble playing every game still. The season could be 25 have and players would still get hurt. Some guys are just not capable of playing without hurting themselves. Does anybody think Kawhi would play 25 or 25 games, or would he still play like 40% of the games?

[@dreydegrate7094]

I don’t think the problem is the amount of games I think the problem is how fast the game has evolved into. The nba has completely became back door cuts, fast break dunks and just a fast paced game overall. Weight lifting of course is a problem, but the game was so much slower back then that players weren’t making as many lateral movements

[@seanfraser8456]

Backdoor cuts, v cuts, etc have been around for OVER 40 years and the fast breaks they run now and for the past however long is a pull up 3 instead of a dunk or lay up. These are NOT reasons for them to get hurt.

[@egrassa1480]

Everything you named was happening MORE before, not less. You're not making any sense

[@SirHumano97]

Bring back the bald heads 🤣

[@ronduece9066]

The league lacks proper flexibility training, especially with all the new dribble and layup packages. The shoes don't help either

[@joiri9498]

yall need to release these videos fast cuz I thought this was new. plss

[@SullyAfgarshe]

Playing a fast pace in space puts a ton of wear and tear on the lower extremities, all the switching, driving and kicking… I actually don’t believe basketball isn’t and wasn’t really ever meant to be played at a fast pace, I understand it creates a huge offensive advantage for teams to attack and score quickly because it obviously leads to more possessions, more running up and down, more wear and tear And then yea, guys aren’t practicing like they use to and the training isn’t focused on resiliency and strength, it’s geared for speed and quick feet and shooting I think they need to increase the shot clock to 30 seconds and then there should be a time limit as to when you can take a shot, which should be at least half the shot clock This allows teams to settle into their offense and defense and takes away or lessens the impact mismatches would have They’ve got to incentive or at least level the playing field for the defense and players will adjust to playing a slower yet more physical style; where strength matters more than your ability to change directions on a dime or step back into a 30 footer Shooting all these 3 and the way they’ve over incentivized offense is now hurting the product and it shows because viewership is trash

[@penkima4923]

Shooting all these 3's means a lot less wear and tear on the players. And the 80's was a fast paced era, and all players played 82 games.

[@jamesbingham1007]

Get rid of cable and you will solve all of this. As soon as teams and players find out that people will not pay directly for games, as much as they think, then you'll get some reform measures.

[@ogz7469]

I remember the bulls got the coach fired for making them practice 😂😂😂

[@penkima4923]

I don't think that happened. Fred Hoiberg was fired probably because he was inept overall. When Jim Boylen moved from associate coach to head coach, he made the team practice in the first week more than before, and some of the players refused from practicing, but Boylen didn't leave the team until a few years later.
