Magic Johnson gets real

[Yagirlcheatinonus]

Why you use Karl Malone as an example when players during his era weren't even playing games like that?

The NBA been playing the 82 game format since the 1967-68 season. I used Karl Malone to show athletes were more conditioned and played. You also had guys like John Stockton and AC Green. Dudes played more won’t all this load management to be lazy and stretch your career.

Its unreal to me how owners/management is scapegoated

They are the reasons players rest. shyt if im a player i would chill too
If my boss tell me too

AD literally had to force The Mavs not to shut him down

Its not the fukking players its the organizations

They shortened training camp/preseason so they could start the season earlier and reduce the amount of back to backs, 4 games in 5 nights, etc. during the season

As far as the OG stuff, let’s be for real was 24 year old Magic in the 80’s trying to be preached to by players from the 40s & 50s like George Mikan, Paul Arizin, Dolph Schayes, etc.?

The all star game been trash they don’t even play defense or go at each other like they used to is all I’m saying. I think Magic was listening to the old heads although he did his own thing. Magic, Bird and MJ is responsible for the growth of the NBA so I think they should be allowed to critique and give advice. They just want it to sustain.

Karl Malone was an outlier even his time

He showed up in WCW w/bigger pythons than 'Wood from the Hood, brother

I put that thread on ignore yesterday. OP deflecting from his own exposal trying to get the heat off him; it's cornball behavior. I ain't playing those games. That thread isn't getting a bar from me.

Anything else you like to add?

Is what they're saying true though?

What are they saying, bro? If you talking about me being a mutt, yeah.

I made a jokes thread about an experience I had when I was a young bull. Calling myself a "half-breed" was just me having fun with it. I was being facetious.

Michael Jordan played in 82 games 9 nba seasons
Kobe Bryant played in all 82 games 4 times.
Lebron who?

 

[MarcP]

The games played take is like a season or two out of date. All the elite guys that are in their prime are playing most of the games.

Also quiet as kept you probably should have sat out more games back in the day but they guilt tripped into playing through it.

My own esposal omg 10bandz saw the LA times corrected their own article! Really exposed as opposed to being a half cac that uses hella European spelling in his vocabulary

 

[10bandz]

So now black men call themselves half breed to be facetious but 10bandz got exposed

One thing I do agree with is when he talks about shortened training camp. Players are using the preseason and the first 10 games of the season to get in shape. That's why you see so much sloppy basketball in the beginning of the season and wonder like what have these dudes been doing all summer


Also the playing all 82 games comment. You need to build up that stamina so you can risk injuries


IMO I feel that's why alot of people get injured alot in February/March. They usually have low minutes per game during the season, then all of a sudden start to ramp it up in preparation for the playoffs and their body can't handle it

I forgot who said it last week but they need to start the NBA on Christmas.

Now I agree with that with one caveat

Start the NBA season the day AFTER ChrisTomas as Christmas now belongs to KING NFL
