Robert Parish, a four-time NBA champion, criticizes the prevalent use of load management in the NBA, arguing it negatively affects fan experiences. He believes that if players focused more on fitness, the need for load management would diminish. Parish emphasizes the frustration fans feel when star players sit out games for non-injury reasons, which can discourage attendance. Other former players, including Tim Hardaway Sr, suggest innovative rules, like adjusting the three-point line, focusing on enhancing the game and engaging fans more effectively.
If today’s generation of players would take better care of themselves, load management would not even be a concern... I find it insulting if they take off just from fatigue.
I heard [commentator] Chris Broussard say something that I really liked... [the] NBA should consider having the three-point line go only from free-throw line to free-throw line.
