Charles Barkley explained why he has a “huge issue” with load management and “paying bums” in the NBA.
“What’s going to be crazy, in this next TV negotiating deal, we’re going to have guys making 70 or 80 million dollars a year! And [the fans] are going to say, ‘wait a minute, ‘you’re going to make 70 million dollars and you can’t play basketball three or four days a week?’… They fly private, they got the best medical stuff ever created.”
Barkley added that the NBA extended the All-Star break and reduced back-to-backs to accommodate players. “It ain’t like we working in a steel mill, brother,” he said. “There are people working in a steel mill and I’m pretty sure they’re tired too. But they go to work every day. I think load management is a big deal… I don’t know the right or wrong answer, Stephen A.”
Barkley also took issue with Warriors coach Steve Kerr’s suggestion to reduce the 82-game schedule to 72 games to create more rest for players. “Pretty nice of him to take money out of all these players’ pockets,” Barkley said, adding that “there are lesser players who don’t make all that money” and might not want to sacrifice game checks."We're paying bums today … We're just giving $200-300 million out like candy."
