@@leonhardable I find the problem specific to that lies on the Injury reserve program, they need to make that more concrete like the other Major League sports which have mandatory minimums of how long they are on that list for like MLB has a 10-day injury and I think NHL has a 7-day once you've been put on that list. For the NBA they just "file" a report of "injury" and then they can classify it as questionable, out indefinitely, probable etc and most likely is a fake report to then choose to play or not. Like for example and James was on the Injury report I would say about 60 games but played 71 games is just simply an exploitation of those rules that are indeed supposed to help truly injured players

And even though viewership is going down that’s not stopping the NBA from signing these multi-billionaire dollar deals, so clearly these corporations know something that they’re not telling us.

[@tawithmmk4800]

@@369pendulum I blame the fans for that. Young fans don’t know any better I guess so they still buy these expensive tickets (well their parents do anyway ha) and so money still comes in. Not nearly what it could be if they put a better product out on the court…but enough to pay these entitled athletes anyway. Is what it is….unfortunately I don’t see it changing. Hopefully I’m wrong. I always kinda wondered if lebron retires id they’ll start allowing a little more defense to be played again. I’m sure never what it was in the 89s/90’s but I get that that was a little much. But they gotta allow the game to be a little more physical. If they’re gonna allow them to carry and travel to look more skilled the least they could do is force them to do it against some actual defense. I think that would bring a lot of fans back to the game. I’m not a WNBa fan personally but I’ve been watching a bit more this year..and have watched each of the first 4 finals games so far between the liberty and lynx. And man their defense is far more entertaining. They let them be physical and it’s so. Much better to watch. And they don’t just chuck up 3’s like you said. It’s refreshing.

I still enjoy Jokic cause he's putting in the work 100%, my only downside to Jokic's work ethic is that it's literally work to him and he doesn't have a passion for the game like others which is a weird and I suppose refreshing take on playing in the NBA which has been really diving into Business and Entertainment and not professional sport.

If Jokic had that Philly squad, he’d probably have multiple rings lol

[@TheSupart91]

Remember when Jordan took a day off bcuz he needed a rest day? Naa he tried playing with a hairline fracture foot

[@TouchToneDSG]

So was this a Joel Embiid video then?

[@tmoney360]

We live in an era where players get paid $50 million a year, complain about having to take private plans to travel and mark days they want off when the season starts. You had guys like Bill Russell and his teammates traveling by bus all across the country in bad shoes for pennies in comparison trying to play every game. For heavens sake back then they probably had to worry about driving in states were bricks could be thrown at them by guys in white hoods. They might he hetter sthletes today but they have less nerve than any if the "plumbers" they look down on.

Great vid!

Basketball is boarder line unwatchable now. 👎🏾

NBA player got pay too much got spoiled

[@Reignwonton]

At the rate that this snowball of softness keeps accumulating, its a matter of time before the NBA unveils NBA Warmup Skirts that you can wear over your shorts and pants like schoolgirls.

Ben Simmons constant blank stare just pisses me off

[@GuitarWithBrett]

NBA is all 3s anyway

I'm sure in his career of playing 98.5 percent of his possible games throughout his entire career, John Stockton was dealing with nagging injuries that he probably could have taken a game off but I bet you those 4 games he missed in 89 and 18 he missed in 97 killed him.

[@Babak1358Shah]

I laugh hard when people talk about 76ers being a title contender this year. Embid and PG are overpaid and injury prone and are masters of excuses. Phili = East Clippers 😂

[@AnHebrewChild]

Since when do MVP candidates "duck certain players"? If I woke up from a 20-year coma and heard this I'd want to go back to sleep.

[@Matic221]

I was just thinking between Jordan Kobe & fauxBron there is 15 championships just between those 3 people. You could add Barkley and still between 4 players you have 15 freaking ships. Those numbers are pretty wild🤣🤣😁😁🤗🤗🤗🤭🤭 absolutely love chuck. I was CB34 & 4 growing up. My orange & purple airmax 95’s made me feel invincible walking into school that fall. CB always apart of my childhood

[@crypto40]

Honestly I can see where Charles comes from. Just compare the money they made back in the day vs today. I’d be mad to if they was making 50-60 million just to sit in the bench injured about 60 percent of the season

[@saiyajinbeard]

While Kobe was still playing his last two years the league was already Charmin soft. Now they wear mandatory goggles in the locker room while spraying champagne on each other

[@Til_I_Collapse]

Can't win alone?! You have to be on the court to win, Joel! How can you say that you "need help to win" if YOU aren't not even showing up to play HALF THE GAMES?!

[@rafaelojeda2777]

If he would take care of his body maybe that wouldnt happen. Part of their job is to take care of their body, its the most important part of their job.

[@timmyg831]

Can’t wait until players from the past 20 years to retire soon. Especially superstars and all-stars. I give it 5-10 years. We all want dedicated players. Bye bye Embiid, Simmons, Kawhi, Harden, LeBron, etc.

[@SauceRicky88]

A bunch of lebron mentally players

[@jonshaqqir4575]

I didn’t know Steve Erkel made a basketball channel

[@masterrserch3971]

4:58 Oh don't worry, it's coming. It always eventually comes. This season, WHEN the sixers disappoint everyone but me, AND after this "I won't play back go backs anymore," you'll begin to hear him get eviscerated. I am looking forward to his dainty soft reactions and replies

[@keithgreer462]

Yea its like the other place all ages and they got few more of our people too so it's more mixed

[@CorneliusMagnus]

I hate ranking players in real life that is made totally out of context, in a vacuum, based on how their avatars would play in NBA2k.
