There are plenty of problems the NBA is dealing with at the moment. But one of the biggest issues is overlooked all too often: sleep.the rampant issues surrounding sleep“We have a large population of vampires as it is — add in the travel and it’s more so,” one GM told Holmes. “We all want better solutions to this.”
But when it comes to getting some quality shuteye, Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside says, “It’s impossible.” Considering the NBA’s hectic schedule, it’s no surprise why sleep is so hard for players to come by. As Whiteside described, playing multiple games in a matter of days can certainly take its toll on players, especially when extensive travel is added in.
“ could be the difference between you having a career game or playing terrible,” Whiteside told Holmes. “… It’s just so hard to get the sleep that you need.” When asked about the issue, the NBA noted its “significant game schedule changes, an investment in a new airline charter program, a focus on mental health and wellness, and the advancement of wearable technology.”Some players, however, have started taking the issue into their own hands.

NBA Quietly Waiting For NFL To Fuck Up And Take Some Heat OffNEW YORK—Hoping that it was just a matter of time for some sort of scandal to draw attention away from the recent controversy with China, sources reported Tuesday that NBA commissioner Adam Silver is waiting quietly for the NFL to fuck up and take some heat off. “I’m sure they have some domestic abuse allegations out there to bungle and then we are in the clear,” said Silver, noting that the NFL officiating controversy seemed to have legs but still didn’t make a dent in the NBA’s recent negative coverage. “Maybe I can push someone to leak another damning study on concussions, because I don’t know how much more scrutiny we can take. Something like the Ray Lewis or Aaron Hernandez murders would be great. At the very least, someone could ask anybody in the NFL what they think about China. I’m sure they would forget about us in a second.” Silver added that as long as they kept their heads down and remained optimistic, next week might finally be the moment when a player dies on the field during a live NFL broadcast.
