10 NBA takeaways after 10 games of the season, starring Nikola Jokic, Celtics, Knicks, and more
Ricky O’Donnell, SBNation

NBA players have to cover so much more space now because of the three-point revolution. The days of ‘90s stars just standing around on defense half the time when their man didn’t have the ball is over. Now, teams need to defend on a string and cover the three-point line with as much attention as they cover the rim. All that sprinting takes a huge toll on the body during a brutal 82-game regular season.

You might not like “load management” or how often players get injured these days, but the reality is the game is so much more demanding on the body in this era than it’s ever been before.
