Softest team in the NBA

[NAOS]

For the record, Loggy, we're on a 50-win pace, regardless.

Stockton and Malone were straight savages though. They fought through all of the **** they took on the court and played elite basketball into their 40s. Not many in the history of this league can even come close to that type of production. MJ took vacations from the league to preserve his career.

Stockton and Malone probably didn't bitch about pullin hammys like Bozzer. #holdat Today's NBA players *cough Hayward *cough George Hill *cough Burks are just divas compared to Stock and Malone. Could you imagine someone telling John Stockton that he's got to sit out tonight's game? Nah, me neither.

In the defense of players today, team doctors seem to have more pull on if a hurt player plays or not. With that said, can u imagine what Malone might have done if a team doc tried to hold him out for a minor injury? Lol

Malone ignoring his son (Demetrius Bell) his entire life seems soft, if we're talking about manhood here.

I'm fine with the team protecting the health of players, especially young ones, if we are not in title contention. There is life beyond this season.

Being injured and resting has nothing to do with being soft or not. It is a team decision along with the player. Long term health is much more important than playing a couple extra games. Teams are much better now than in the past of protecting their assets (the players) and helping get the most out of them. Stockton and Malone would have sat more if they played today because of how the league works and how much more we know about the injuries.
