It's easy to say that because he gets hurt that he isn't as committed to his health as LeBron. But no one else is as committed as LeBron. It wouldn't be realistic to think he would be at this point in his career.

I didn't think much about his commitment to his durability until I heard Cowherd mention something about it. Even though I knew what he was saying was mostly bullshit, it still stuck in my brain.

But that doesn't mean he's lazy. I'm willing to give him and LeBron a mulligan for this year because of the limitations the short layoff had on their pre-season training.

Ryan M brought up a good point about AD's injury history relative to the average player. I didn't realize that it's not so much that he's injury-prone, just a bit more than what some think he ought to be.

My mind is knee-deep in his press narrative. And we know those narratives have to be taken with a large grain of salt.
