100% agree. I would however add something for the players that have played less than a full contract when getting a career ending injury, like if someone is on rookie contract and get a career ending injury they can get their whole 2 year garantee rookie contract paycheck and retire.

[@lyvinlyphe9644]

Yea but similarly to the NFL, they don’t have to really play to get the check, the game just has to commence. So it wouldn’t solve anything. As long as the game happens, they’ll get paid whether on the court or not. You’d need an active and on court rule, not only a per game pay rule.

Micro dosing testosterone. If I was at that level I would. He would heal much faster and recover faster.

[@c99kfm]

As a fellow fatso, I agree. Having that extra weight puts so much extra strain on bones and joints, especially in high-impact movements (e.g., jumping up to the basket and landing from that jump). I mean, I have a sedentary office job, yet I've felt compelled to stretch and build better muscles to avoid stressing my joints in various ways. If I wasn't stuck behind a desk the better part of my waking hours, and instead was paid to play ball, you bet your ass I would have lost my extra lard a long time ago. If I was getting $30M+ yearly to produce on the court, I would off-load my food intake entirely on a full-time nutritionist and full-time chef, working alongside my full-time personal trainer(s) to keep me in the best shape I could possibly be. That would be LITERALLY investing in myself, my career and my legacy. Then retire at 35, because I'd want to live my life too and avoid risking my long-term health. At Zion's pay levels, I'd already have enough money to never again do anything I didn't feel like doing. Maybe give back to the community in some way, a gym for youths or something. Decent age to start a family, too.

[@flagcoco69]

Zion Williamson is the rebuttal to this generation's belief that it's the best in NBA history purely for its athleticism and that every generation that came before was slow and unathletic. It doesn't matter how talented or athletically gifted you are if you're never on the court. Between players who are delicate and load management, this era is weak. I don't buy the dickish JJ Redick belief that everyone who played before this era was a pasty, slow, gimpy fireman, but even if I did, who is more valuable: a player who is a little slower and can jump just a little less high than Zion but will give you 75 games year in and year out, or a fragile AF Zion who has played all of SEVEN GAMES THIS YEAR?

[@Cilent__]

This is horrible logic because you're using an outlier and using it to represent the whole generation. Also nobody ever said it was the best just because of athletic ability. You're cherrypicking, and still failing to argue against your cherrypicked argument. 😂😂

[@shorewall]

@@Cilent__ Yeah, all we need is to point to Joker and Luka to blow up the argument that this gen is the better than previous one because they are more athletic and talented. Or that players from past eras couldn't play in today's NBA. We can point to the lax enforcement on rules for traveling, moving screens, and offensive fouls. The fact that players don't care about the regular season, so why should the fans? The fact that teams promote pull up 3s instead of getting the ball into the paint.

[@buckybuck1820]

Zion is a perfect example of the why the NBA needs to go back to the 3 years of college requirement to enter the draft. Imagine if Zion had been forced to play at Duke 2 more years under Coach K. He would have been under better coaching and leadership. He would have been forced to continue working out for a few more years to get that money. He would have developed enough good habits by then that it would have been far less likely he would have fell out of them. Instead he went to Duke for 6-8 months, came into the draft in the best shape of his life, and quickly broke the habits he hadn’t really had to commit to for long.

[@HermannTheGreat]

I knew when they didn't revert the NBA draft rules back further that NBA future was done. It should have been 3-4 years of college required to enter NBA draft, by keeping it 1 year they ruined more than half of these rookie draft picks career/development, they ruined their mental and fundamental development, they took away discipline and value of money for work. You got it exactly. Sometimes I use to think, imagine these guys playing 3 years of college ball and the types of games we'd have, it would be unbelievable.

Prime example why NOONE should get paid more than 10 mil/year to play a sport as a "career"... PERIOD!

His salary should be paid for by Burger King - his real talent and interest lies there.

Contracts should have certain stipulations so that players would make an effort to earn their money. Example - for a $50mil/yr contract, players would get a guaranteed $20mil. Play 60+ games they would get $5m, make an all star team that would be another $5m, be the league mvp another $10m, and so on until they reach $50m. That would certainly change the mindset of players

Was Zion raised by a single mother? That would explain a lot.
