I introduce my special guest... Andrew Begley! I also go over a summary of todays show.

2:21

We discuss the NBA's injury problem: We go over the important players (and role players) who have been missing due to injury in the playoffs, why the Bubble and a shortened season is not an excuse, and how this has been a major issue for YEARS even prior to March 2020.

We also discuss the problem with rest, the problem with training/coaching today (With quotes from Tim Grover who trained Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Wade), how strength training is not the priority it once was, and how players today do not have the proper foundation of strength.

We bring up examples of how players were far healthier in the past, and able to play full seasons (using 91-92 NBA season data as an example). We talk about how many players actually played a full 72 games in the NBA in 20-21, and why this is a major cause for concern. 

Discussion censored around the myths about positive evolution of the game, the whole "bigger/faster/stronger" myth, etc
