Iman Shumpert goes off on anyone calling for the NBA to shorten its 82 game season, arguing that players should focus on conditioning and changing how they play instead of reducing the number of games.
Shumpert points to legends like Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, John Stockton and Gary Payton, who played 82 game seasons, questioning why today’s players need fewer games. He believes the league should bring back more physical basketball, with players attacking the post, taking midrange shots, playing through contact and cutting down on flopping and exaggerated moves.
He also questions how much extra time players would actually gain from shortening the season, arguing that changing the way the game is played may be a better solution to the injury problem.

Mario Hezonja on waiving off Donovan Mitchell:
“I told him you’re not supposed to bring the ball up under pressure. I waived JT out to go 1-on-1 against my mismatch. I spoke to James and Donovan, there’s 5 of us on the court and you need to read those mismatch situations.”
2000s Guards were special man
No gather step 5 steps
No traveling
No flopping
No foul baiting
Real footwork and SKILL 🔥
Hornets Baron Davis would be a walking 30 & 10 today. Too big for smaller guards and too fast for bigger guards BD was giving your favorite team PROBLEMS 👊
