Damn this was very difficult news to hear after the celebrations yesterday for fellow LA Laker player.
Actually the lose was to be blame with the locker room problem clippers is having as of the moment. I don't know if that's true but there is a problem between their two stars PG and Kawhi with their loses on Hawks and Nuggets.
What is this locker room problem? Is it that because of the special treatment? I have read an article about that but I dismissed it as a rumor. I will have to wait till they release a proof to support this rumor before I believe them.

He is genetically gifted, I mean the genes he got from his father, (who is a basketball player) is showing. Because as you have said, even at this age, he can still run with the young players, chase down blocks, and can still give us highlight reels every game.
Plus there is an advancement of sports science and medicine, which really help him recover very quick. And from the way he plays, we can still like 3 or 4 years in front of him.
Surpassing what Carter did.
Yes he might.
At 40 he might still be running like a young one.
As long as he keeps his oranges beside him.
If we need to blame someone for load management, blame Popovich for introducing.
It wasn't noticed a lot during his time because Spurs had a lot of players they can rely on, with the Clippers, it was only Leonard which is his star and people are coming to watch him and without him playing, Clippers would be a different team.
Again with this locker room issue from Kawhi?
Let us see how this will go on first. It is difficult to just tell it without proof.
Maybe someone will lighten it up, paparazzi thing.

I guess your right, but that load management thing does affect how the fans felt towards the league. The same deserve what they expect on the team especially if Leonard wasn't really injured or something ill.

We are all witnessing the difference between Clippers having Kawhai and the team without him inside.
Lebron James literally is said to spend 1-1.5 million dollars per year on just to preserve his body, sometimes does still go in and dunk on people.
Good to hear that, he is really a good example of a player and he is on a mission to be the best in the NBA and maybe beat the record as the oldest player to be active in NBA. it can be confirmed from this information that what you shared it true - https://www.golfdigest.com/story/lebron-james-spends-dollar15-million-on-his-body-every-year-still-gets-decent-roiactually I didn't know that, so I was surprised, then I was thinking, maybe the young players should follow Lebron, not just spending their money to luxurious life, night out and other unnecessary things, they should focus on their future so they can stay longer in the league.
Lebron James literally is said to spend 1-1.5 million dollars per year on just to preserve his body, that is not to say he won't age one day but that dude can be 40 years old and can still dunk on people and none of us will be shocked, he is 35-36 years old right now and he is still playing like nothing happened to him, his play style had to change as much as for his body but also the game itself as well. When he first came into the league for 5-6 years the game was build around playing slow and having hardcore defense, I think it was his first year where Pistons won and they were known to keep their opponents under 80 points many times that year.
So, it is equally important of him to start shooting more, start passing more, start using screens more and not just focus on driving inside and dishing back out anymore because the NBA game in 2020 is totally different than 10 years ago as well. Sure some parts can be attributed of him getting older and trying to not force his body too much but it is not just that, it is the game changing mostly, dude can still and even sometimes does still go in and dunk on people.

And if everything goes well in Lebron's health, we might get a chance to see Bronny and Lebron play in the same court in NBA. That would be a spectacle to watch. Imagine two generations playing on the same court.
Yet, it's a shame for other superstars who hasn't put to rest and played every single game because that's what the fans paid for.
It is a management prerogative and besides, he has a valid injury. It is more painful to see him play every single game and then get sidelined for months because he got his injury aggravated. I think if other superstars have a lingering injury as well, their management will surely load manage them but they don't, so they have to play.

Blame the management for allowing this, I think that video shared has nothing to do with his load management issue, I mean if he is not playing then he has a lot of time to rest and spend that free time to whatever he likes to do, going to the strip club might help him prepare mentally, so let us not complain.
Load management has nothing to do with how he do his life outside basketball. Of course if he chill outside the court is not an issue as long as he can perform his duty for the team his with.
It might be, It might not. Hangovers?
That's not actually what I mean about connecting the footage to the load management. It's just that everytime I heard of "load management" Kawhi Leonard is the first name that comes to my mind lol. Though I'm not hating, he's a great basketball player and load management is somehow a good strategy to preserve the player for the most important game in the playoffs.

Anyway, talking about load management, have any of you seen the footage of Kawhi chillin at the strip club? Lol.
Haven't seen that, I'll be glad to see it if you'll share it here, but anyway, I think it isn't a big issue after all because Leonard is still killing when he is on the court, he is a human, he sometimes need some chillin time,.. if he stayed with Toronto, he could have chill all the time without paying for anything because that's how welcome he is in the place. lol.

Kawhi just enjoying his time, Lol.
But yeah, with all the money he has, he needs to chill and have some fun from time to time. So I don't think this is a big issue with Clippers management. He still performs like an MVP this season, no need to make a fuss about it. Funny thing is, he still don the NB logo!!!
wow, liked it. That's what money can do in the world, he makes more money, it's just right to enjoy.
maybe he got load management because of this kind of loaded activity he's been doing, hahaha.. anyway, this proves that Kawhi is a real man.
By the way, KAWHI got a game against the Magic later, hope he had rested early.

With just 2-3 seasons more of 20+ ppg dude would pass Kareem as well, from all the looks of it unless something major happens like a big bad injury,
Lebron still has the game, he will surely play a lot of seasons with the Lakers now that the Lakers has become a playoff contender. Also, his style of play has been different now, he wasn't as aggressive as before, he master his passing ability so that means he will not be so prone to injury.
Yeah, he still have the speed of a young guy. Maybe those oranges that he secretly eats during game time is the secret.
When he surpasses MJ's scores I didn't doubt that he could do more.
Even with his large size he ain't that much of a prone to bad injuries.
I guess he really takes care of himself and with proper training of everything specially when you are jumping so high that it almost look like there is a ladder.
We will be seeing more records being broken.

In addition to that, LeBron is one of the few players who has a strong durability that could manage to absorb a potential major injury. No load management. As he's aging, it's so smart for him change his playing style from an aggressive slasher/rim attacker to a unpredictable play maker.

Congratutlations to Lebron James, I made a computation on how will Lebron surpass Kareem in the all time scoring leaders.
And the result is, .. if Lebron will make an average of 20 points per game, he just need at least 3 NBA seasons to get the number 1 of all time scoring leaders which I think it's possible since he can still play great basketball.
once he surpass all the records, he will be confirmed as the "KING".
