34. "RE: Load management: The phenomenon"
In response to In response to 0


          

Load Management will be utilized when needed for all players as the NBA moves forward.

- After players come back from injuries, they will be on a minutes restriction and will not play back to back games.

- Similar to baseball, star players will be rested against very weak opponents especially if a big game is coming up.

This is the new NBA and I agree with it.

I remember in the early parts of millennium young pro baseball pitchers where coming into the league with major wear and tear on their arms. It was getting to the point where certain young pitchers where being advised tommy john surgery just to get it out of the way. And most of it was due to young pitchers throwing technical pitches and pitching too much in high school and college, when they should just be throwing a fastball and curve here and there. Now pitchers barely go 6 innings before middle relief comes in. It used to be a pitcher would pitch up until the 7th or 8th inning and then the closer would come in. You will never see a pitcher get 300 wins ever again because baseball had to start load managing pitchers with their innings and starts

Basketball now has that same issue due to AAU ball. These young players are already coming into the league with damaged bodies, from structure to tissue problems. The problem is that now kids are playing too many games and too many quarters in one day, when they should just be focusing on fundamentals, like dribbling and shooting drills.

Ja Morant has sat out several times already due to back issues.
Zion has major structural issues from the waist down , and we are seeing injuries pile up like never before. The whole starting lineup has been injured for the Toronto Raptors, and I’m starting to see an epidemic of groin injuries.

Kobe said he did not start doing AAU or running games until he was like 16, when he came back to the states. Before that he stated that he was just doing a lot of fundamental stuff. Jordan played a few pickup games here and there, but in the summer he played mostly golf or would do cross training. In the past, former nba athletes took time off in the summer, and let their body’s rest for at least one month. They didn’t do the same repetitive motion on the same body parts for the entire year.

Today, these kids are playing ball too much basketball, with no crosstraining. By the time they are 18 their bodies are wrecked.

This is why load management is a must, so that players can truly rest and recover and to protect the investment of the owners
