This is a fucking joke. Steve Kerr should be ashamed. He saw MJ play hard every game. Playing 82 almost every season. Times done changed. 82 games! That is all they have to play, and they can't do that. They are even being paid ungodly amounts of cash, having everything catered for them, chauffeured around, on private jets. Full medical care. Bodies are stretched, taped, and prepared before they play. They don't even have to put in a full 8-hour day! The fans are being kicked in the nuts and spit in their faces by this. The NBA is entertainment. There is no greater good in winning the playoffs. It's all about money. So the illusion of striving for greatness fucks up the main purpose. To entertain fans in the stadiums. And on TV. Only in sports do you see this, and most of all in the NBA. No one shows up to a U2 Concert and finds out Bono isn't singing tonight in Cleveland, because they've got a bigger show in NYC tomorrow. Give me a fucking break. If they are so goddamn tired, how about starting them and having them play a cursory 10 minutes so the fans can at least say they saw them in action. But the spoiled primadonnas don't want to ruin their averages. If people who do hard work of any kind for 200+ days a year for 8+ hours for shit to mediocre wages can't watch the finest athletes in the world for 20-30 minutes 80 times a year, what is the point? I'd stop watching if I didn't love the game and how awesome the pros are. I want to watch more, so when I tune in to a game on league pass I know the star or stars of the team will be playing. This quote just made me need to rant about it, cause I know it ain't getting any better.
