    How different are you? You simply value the Spurs more than the national team. When other people switch it around you act as if you're somehow above it and for whatever reason it is a good thing? Either way, its sports, so what does it matter which one is valued more?

    And I call bull on this article. Why aren't there any direct quotes? Why can't the author get his facts correct?

    I think it varies by player. Some guys can play year round and stay sharp. Other guys need some rest during the off season. Of course there is a chance of injury, but that could happen anytime.

    Manu is not 30 yet. He just turned 29.

    I think Manu really needs the World Championships. This will help him play through the whole blaming himself for the spurs getting eliminated thing. Get his mind off 'The Foul'
    and come back mentally ready for next season. He's a fit kid he'll be fine.

    There is always risk in life. Atheletes are in a profession that not only causes the risk factor on injuries to go up, the injuries themselves can severely limit the value of a player to a team.

    therefore , the NFL allows teams to limit the risk to star athletes in their contracts with clauses that penalize a player for getting injured on a motorcycle for instance. I don't know if the NBA does this.

    You can't stop a player from engaging in all risky activities, but you can prevent him from collecting under his contract if he cannot perform due to his activities. He should make the choice--it's his paycheck.

    I still don't understand how players get "tired" from playing basketball for a couple hours a day. I wish i could tell my boss on friday that after 5 straight back to backs that i was worn out and needed next week off. Why does an NBA player need the entire summer to rest? Being an athlete means you're constantly keeping yourself at the highest level, resting for a long period would hurt more then help. ie Jerry Rice played into his 40's because he never rested and always kept himself in top shape.

    Duncan rested the whole year especially back to backs. Hopefully that doesn't carry over also.

    Tim advised them to rest during the summers so they'd be fresh for the upcoming season. The goal of an NBA season is to win an NBA championship via a good playoff run
