This Is Getting Out of Control

Nothing but respect for Randle. It can be tough being a Knicks fan, but credit to Randle for always being available

This might be why Giannis has been able to bounce back from injuries and avoid major ones. He started playing late and had added a lot of muscle through weight lifting

I remember Tim Grover also saying that one difference between MJ & Kobe when it comes to practice is that the latter didn't know when to stop. Hence, the former had golf to channel his competitive drive while letting his body recover.

I think PG has a point, I think it’s the constant inconsistent times off players take. Whether by load management, rehabing injuries, to the lengthy Allstar break. Giving the body a moment of down time then to immediately toss it back into a fast passed sport without proper warm ups. It’s also crazy that majority of the players that load manage are still getting injured like LeBron,AD,PG,Kawhi, etc.

I'll never stop respecting your presentation styles. Your ability to get an idea out there explained clearly to your viewers. Great job again

It's crazy how PG just talked about this and got that injury rest up pg can't wait to see you back

This was a great breakdown. As Tim stated, and I think this is the key, is the number of games, the wear and tear on the body before they ever step on a NBA court. The accumulative effect is killer, the never ending grind of basketball played is a serious factor. Playing year round and never letting the body rest is not good is the number one factor in my humble opinion...

Jxmy’s videos are always so good. The narrating, editing, evidence to back up his reasoning, music, and many more factors that go into making a high tier presentation like this one are all spot on. Jxmy could literally talk about the most boring topic but he’d still somehow pull me in and make me interested.

Shohei Ohtani was injury prone early in his career, the Angels lowered his load in response, injuries kept happening. Then they played him everyday and the injuries dropped drastically.

I was thinking why Jokic has been so injury free for all these years. And maybe it's because his game is not based on athleticism that his joints and ligaments don't go through as much as most other players. Jokic is the one star I've seen who's been in the league a while that doesn't get those minor injuries that keeps him out of games. I feel like just this year the team has been load managing him more and even then he probably could've played.

I read that there was a study that showed a correlation between focusing on only one sport and being injured. Essentially, if a kid only plays one sport while coming up, they're more likely to be injured than kids that play multiple sports. They seemed to draw the conclusion that you overdevelop specific muscles for specific movements and your body breaks down because of imbalances.

I think the pace is a good example, as a Bulls fan, DeMar takes it slow on the court compared to other players. He makes methodical, calculated moves, utilizes pump fakes, etc. It’s like he’s straight out of the 90s, and I think that is why he’s so healthy most of the time. I’m pretty sure he only missed games last season due to getting Covid with no symptoms, and being sat for our last game of the season that didn’t matter for standings. I also think part of it is that DeMar plays through the pesky little injuries, some people get contusions (which are bruises) and sit for 2-3 games sometimes. Yes some can be bad, but 95% of them are small bruises that you can play through. When you group in these minor injuries, with load management, you’re already adding on 10-15 missed games that really could have been played.

That Paul George injury really hurt my soul. Bro threw down a 360 in traffic, and looked like he was in the best shape of his life

Mikal bridges should’ve been noted as not missing a game. I believe the only reason he missed a game was due to the trade. That’s why as a Suns fan it was so sad to see him leave, he’s an old school kind of player that doesn’t miss games and stays injury free. Now that he has a bigger role on the Nets though I guess we will see how he holds up but I think he will be fine.

Jimmy is 100% right about the evolution of the game. If the league had never made it legal to put your hand on the side of the ball and basically carry there wouldn’t be all these changes in direction

You do a great job keeping us all informed. Thanks!!!

Tim Grover simply trained the top 3 SG to ever touch a basketball. Thank you for your contribution to NBA history.

What I like about Jxmy’s analytics is the pure effort he puts into his research, which makes all of his videos far superior than any ESPN analytics. Well done Jxmy, we can’t appreciate you enough but keep up the exceptional work!

I played volleyball competitively on a recreational level and it was fun and my body held up well. Then I got shoulder bursitis from sleeping on my side. From that point on the shoulder caused so many problems I stopped playing. I can only imagine how difficult it must be to maintain at a pro level; which is what makes MJ’s last season of 82 games so impressive in my eyes.

allowing the carry and traveling also puts more pressure on defenders knees and ankles as the time they are expecting someone to HAVE to pick up the ball has changed
