Episode Details

Michael Jordans ownership of the Charlotte Hornets brought a no-nonsense approach to load management, with the basketball legend expecting players to play if they could. This stance, in contrast to modern NBA teams that rest healthy stars, helped coach Steve Clifford manage the team effectively. Jordan, who played all eighty-two games in nine of his fifteen NBA seasons, saw resting as against the games spirit and an opportunity missed to compete for fans. The NBA has since implemented rules against resting healthy big names during nationally televised games, aiming to balance player health and fan expectations in the ongoing debate about what it means to compete.
