It’s only gonna start being a “issue” once teams start overpaying players that shouldn’t make all nba teams

65 game rule should stay. NBA and fans put too much hype into individual awards for a pure team sport.
Play the effing games and give the fans what they want. With the rule in place we have seen AMAZING ball all season. So please stfu, and make these millionaires do their job. Smfh

If you can’t play 65 games then you shouldn’t be in the league.

Cade, Ant, Luka, Wemby, and Giannis 5 of the top 10 players in the nba just shouldn’t be in the league then right? You’re so ignorant 😂😂😂

david is insufferable — the rule is meant to curb load management not awards. i think the rule should be 2/3rd of the season, not 65 games. i also like vince’s take. please get david off the air

Players want the awards/ money but don’t want to play. CBA negotiated these terms. Honor the agreement!

@ruggednugget303
April 9, 2026 at 4:02 pm
Not exactly. If, hypothetically, 3 that would have been 1st team (had they met the 65 game threshold) get bumped to 2nd team, then the next 3 (6-8) who would have been 2nd team otherwise would then be moved up to 1st team. Essentially a swap.

As Kawhi fan please don’t get rid off 65 game rule I love it. I’ve seen Kawhi play with bad ankle and bad wrist this year for the first time ever because he knows he is playing great and he doesn’t want to miss out on All-NBA team I swear if the rule didn’t exist he would’ve missed a lot of more games due to injury management and he will still be in All-NBA team because he is playing that great. Thanks to this rule I get to watch Kawhi more

We also have to blame ourselves for continuing to watch the games on TV and buying tickets to go to the basketball arenas to see the star players in their street clothes, etc…Where do you think the big salaries the owners pay them come from?
