Stephen Curry continues to be a major attraction in the NBA, captivating fans with his skills and enthusiasm. However, his absence from games in New Orleans raised concerns about player wellbeing and scheduling. Coach Steve Kerr emphasized player health over fan expectations, advocating for a reduction of the NBA season from 82 to 65 games. He believes the current pace contributes to the challenges players face, contrasting it with his era where he and legends like Michael Jordan played full seasons consistently. Kerr's advocacy points to a changing landscape in professional basketball's demands.
"Ultimately, the players' health is the No. 1 factor in our team's success and even more than our fans' satisfaction in the long run."
"I'm concerned about the product because I think we are asking way too much of our players. The game has never been more difficult to play at a high level night after night after night."
