This seems illegal to force players to take drugs
This is the new nba and all sports with the gambling deals..
You clean up reallllll gooooood !!!!!
I'll trust Rick Carslie all day in this regard. Why the doctor didn't interview or PERSONALLY EXAM THE PLAYER is f'cking beyond me. As someone who has a similar issue going through disability hearings, this totally tracks in BS.
Give him the shot!!! HA! This isn't the 80s. Hell it's not even the otts.
The solution is simple. Reverse the draft order of the non-playoff teams, at least for the first round. That means every win matters for the whole season.
Competitively, it is asinine to give the worst teams the best players coming into the league, since they are the worst-run teams. Reward teams trying to win.
This is exactly what insurance companies do to deny coverage.
who cares?………….this has been a great nba season.
LOL The NBA does what it wants, when it wants, to who it wants and they do without repercussions.
Brrrro lol David is the best. I read a sports business article on Medium last month about NBA tanking. it was good. search Marty Strategic Medium. good 4 minute read.
What crazy is targeting teams who don’t hardly tank. But the serial tankers like the Kings and Wizards get a pass.
If you want to make political comments, one way or another, make a 2nd channel. I'm done with your BS! I'm not here for it!
The NBA is already past the point of no return. The players won. Yes, the owners are wealthy but they’d give anything to have a David Stern running the league in their favor. The players are making record-breaking NBA money for 4-5 years of work, only to make even more money in following contracts. They don’t care about legacy, seeing what legacy has done to Lebron (who will become #1 all-time in every statistic that matters) but Jordan is the forever GOAT to Sports Media, so who cares what Lebron does. And players can walk to the bench in street clothes in cities they don’t like. Finally, with TV deals on the line, the NBA can’t afford a lockout so nothing will change 😂
If it’s a playoff game sure why not take it if it’s legal to take. Why on earth would you do it in the regular season on a team destined to finish dead last in the NBA?
Loved the Stranger Than Fiction reference.
If the NBA wants to stop tanking they should abolish the Draft Lottery.
Both the NBA and the teams are equally at fault here. First teams are at fault because they’re supposed to operate in good faith and they’re clearly doing things that don’t pass the smell test. All you have to do with a lot of these injuries is ask would you play if this was a playoff game if the answer is yes then that means that you’re not too hurt to play in the game and that after that you’re simply making a strategical decision on whether he plays or not. If you have a bad headache, it could be bad enough where you don’t play a game, but you could probably take Advil and be fine your choice. Technically, you’re too sick to play. Again, this is about the NBA cracking down on things that don’t pass the test.
Now the nba is wrong and Adam silver because he created this new draft system that has made the issue worse. And competitive balance is the major issue because you have a league where the majority of the teams have no other way to get better than through the draft because no big time free agent wants to go to Utah and you think this issue is gonna get better when two more teams are added through expansion?
If I’d been told years back that winning would not drive teams & players, I wouldn’t have understood. Grew up on tales of old-timers who’d give it their all. Of course I get the notion as it exists today. But for me it’s like looking into the sun; can’t for long or it hurts. But forcing drugs in a player? As crazy as you say.
I’ve grown to admire your channel so much. I always learn something new. Thanks, Coca! Oh, and David too! 😊
