One of the main issues with the NBA is resting, especially during nationally televised games. This past off season, the NBA commissioner Adam Silver addressed this issue. He announced that if a team rests any player, the team will be fined $100k. Now, explain this to me. You get paid millions to play basketball, and that is the job choice you selected. They didn’t just randomly select you; you put yourself in the draft. Then, you end up complaining about playing too many games? You chose this lifestyle, and you are getting paid millions (hundreds of millions for some players) to play basketball. Some players complain about the schedule being too hard or that there is too much travel. Back in the days, NBA teams had to fly commercial; they didn’t have private jets like teams have now. No NBA player should be complaining about this, and I think the commissioner should have raised the fine to a million! NBA fans pay a lot of money to see their favorite player on the court just to hear that player will rest and not appear in the game. The fan dismay encouraged the commissioner to establish the fine. Thank you for joining me during my rant.
