[NBA] Comments that don't warrant a thread (MAY)

Stuff like achilles and other non contact injuries, aren't they repetitive stress injuries like everyday normal people getting carpal tunnel? There's also a genetic and training component to protecting against them, but the body may only have x amount of that movement before it breaks down, in that case less games would prolong their careers?

Also, this is the kind of stuff my mom and partner talk about, but constant air travel may also be bad for the body especially when it is weakened or healing? So if less games also allowed for easier travel schedules with shorter flights - and teams playing in LA or NY on the road did both teams over 2-3 days, same with other close trips. Players may fly even less. Some might opt to drive from SF to Sac or similar.

I am not a physical therapist/sports scientist so I don't have the answers. But I think it would have benefits to everyone if they can make it work within the confines of arena and tv scheduling.

the constant air travel absolutely is a factor here, look at the recent blood clot incidents with Dame & Victor. Repetitive stress injuries are a factor here for sure, the best an athlete can do is to strengthen the ligaments and the surrounding muscles to avoid any excess strain in one continuous motion and of course avoid overtraining.

No none of that other stuff, just equalize the wage. Those other fees are peanuts compared to a universal tax on all income. There's a reason many rich folks leave Portland for Vancouver (WA), sure the sales tax and other fees soak the middle class, but there's a limit for most people even if its 3 houses and 10 cars.

Many players don't even live in their city full time and set up homes in Florida or elsewhere so all their non-game income is exempt.

I don’t disagree to keep things fair and equitable. Curious why we don’t hear a strong lobby in all the major sports from the 28+ teams that have state income tax. They would easily have the majority vote if it was a measure the owners vote on.

Vancouver peeps do get the best of both worlds…. no state income tax and travel across the border for big purchases with no sales tax

I can't bring myself to leave my neighborhood though I did fall in love with 2-3 houses in Camas during the pandemic. Even if I wind up snowbirding I don't think I'd want to live in any other neighborhood for half a year unless I could get back into Santa Barbara (ell-oh-ell).

Warriors still on the two timeline thing except the two timelines are old as hell and older than dust.
