Paul Pierce: “I mean I really don’t see the science at the load management because they don’t prevent injuries… I play 17 plus seasons without any major injuries… It’s no science to like if you rest you’re going to be less likely to get injured. So I just say this, if you love the game, ain’t nobody telling me I can’t play tonight. That’s just me. And I see that with only certain people in the league, you know, and I never seen LeBron sit down like… today’s kids roll their ankle, they sit out. I played with a dislocated thumb. It’s just different now, I don’t know what it is. I think it has a lot to do with the people around in the organization, like the medical staff or these doctors here, they convince us like no, this is the right thing to do.” -via YouTube / March 8, 2024
