This all goes back to changing the way the game was been refereed, pushing shooters and long 3pters as the new hot thing! And those finesse and euro players thrived Now they’re load managing players, cause they were catering to those players, which leads to a worse product because fans don’t see players they paid to see, and teams become afraid to be physical and refs get a lot more..TV time than they did a decade ago. * adjusts Tinfoil snapback*

I don’t like Stephen A but he’s right !! These fckn stars are soft as hell !! The nba is not going in the right place mark my words if this happens the nba will lose ratings like ever

I didnt think they could bring anybody on worse than Molly but I was wrong

Hopefully, they can get Cade in for just a minute or two the last few games. He deserves to be All NBA. The rule is necessary but it just sucks for him.

Any plyer who doesn’t get the 65 games should at least qualify for 2nd and 3rd team
@Tyheir
March 25, 2026 at 9:40 pm
Think it should be 60 games. Nearly 75% compared to the 80% it is currently

Stephen A so wrong on this… he sounds out of touch with the context of what the agent is saying. SMH

Hell, players lucky the rule wasn’t for 70 or 72 games

I don’t agree with appealing the rule; if you can’t play 65 games then you don’t get any awards no exceptions period. If you can’t play 79 percent of an 82 game season.

65 game rule should change 😅
@collider12

Only thing it hurts is ppl not getting all nba like Cade if it was his contract year

No, I’m not with the change bc if that’s the case then those players in the past so be allowed to appeal their cases today for awards honestly it’s not the best rule every but it’s fair

Rules are rules as Kawhi fan I saw him play with sore ankles this year cause he wants to make All-nba if the 65 game rules didn’t exist I swear he will have sit down few more games. Him averaging the most points in his career he wants that honors I love it
@gagehorton6110
March 25, 2026 at 11:25 pm
Dude played majority of the season and will be punished for having a legitimate injury by a rule that was meant for players who sit out WHEN HEALTHY. How about we punish the people who are aware of the players who are involved with load management and still vote for them when it comes to all nba honors
@gagehorton6110

Did the league ever refund consumers when they knew players were sitting out healthy?
