There’s a huge difference between some rec league ball and NBA level intensity basketball.
The intensity of an NBA game is constantly fluctuating. I see players half asleep on the court, even in the playoffs.
I’ve played in a little bit of high level organised basketball over the years and the difference in intensity between that and screwing around in some random game was crazy.
Can’t imagine the difference between something like that and an NBA game.
It’s not only the physical intensity but also how switched on you’d have to be mentally.
It's also very different when getting ready for those games is your job. Now basketball wasn't my sport, but I played hockey with guys who got drafted. And once they left college for the AHL, they put in a lot of work getting their bodies ready for the increased frequency of games.
Can't do it forever, but Thibs runs a 9 man rotation when he's got the personnel for it...we just don't after losing 3 guys from our rotation; 4 if OG misses any games.
