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.

Jeff Teague says Larry Bird had one rule when building a team...
NEVER sign players that played with LeBron. 😭
Bird: "I will never pay anybody that played with LeBron. I would never pick them up on my team."
Teague: "I said, 'Why?'"
"He said, 'Because he make them all look good. They're all really sad'."
"You go get them, and then they're not going to be the same player you wanted."
