Of time these so called superstar play should not shut their body down to where they have to (rest). And players today are pussies and entitled way to much. And severely overpaid.
I mean do some just want players to play through fractured feet, shattered ankles, and torn MCL's?
The problem with the league is this shite is beyond players like AD that take a week off for every boo-boo.
The league is more athletic than ever, more offensively and defensively complex, which means more complex movements, more athletic exertion, and more opportunities for injury.
And a lot of it isn't specifically the players. Teams are wanting to protect their investments and do season-long preventive maintenance to try and keep players fresh for the playoffs. Paying a guy 40 million a year and then grinding him down during the regular season only to get bounced in round 1 isn't smart business or smart basketball.
The solution is to shorten the number of games and maybe even slightly lengthen the duration of the season so players get even more rest.
As for overpaid, a guy like Giannis or Lebron brings in 10x their salary for the organizations they play for. In an uncapped market guys like Lebron, Giannis, Luka would make 2 to 3x as much. Maybe more

My point is players back in the 80’s and 90’s played basically every game unless it was some MAJOR injury. Sore toes and a bruised knee shoulder pain or a headache these guys played through. If todays players have all the new ways to make themselves better then why are they soft as charming tissue.Anthony Davis wouldn’t last ten games back then.
