Millionaire athletes taking days off, particularly in the NBA, has been a groan-worthy talking point for blue-collar Americans.
Charles Barkley, known to speak his mind (unfiltered), went on a whole rant about the NBA’s problem with “load management,” based on the recent drama involving Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid.
Like many of his NBA brethren, Embiid has embraced the load management model, which has led him to miss the first three games, at least, of the new NBA season.
