NBA: Bill Simmons: NBA should shorten season, because today's players are way too good..

[Seventyniner]

How about keeping the 82-game schedule, expanding rosters to 19, and only letting each player appear in 66 games? No restrictions on appearances for the playoffs, of course.

Loads of .

Players these days are unquestionably weaker for whatever reason, [B,]I suspect it's because they train to hard.[/b]

In any event, do whatever, the league is about as uninteresting as it's ever been.

Hopefully, the playoffs show us something.

Plus, it's hard to top the narrative of the previous two seasons which are all-time high points, so wait and see.

Btw, anyway claiming the level of play today is just worlds away from previous eras, do yourself a favor and check out youtube or hardwood classics on NBA TV.

You don't know wtf you're talking about.

I think this is the biggest reason. most players back in the day played primarily on talent. Sure they worked out, but they didn't do they year round demanding workouts players do now just to stay in the league.

The bodies are running on 7-9 rpms all the time.
