Michael Jordan didn’t believe in load management, even when he was violently ill.
Jordan addressed the topic of NBA players missing games in the second installment of a series that NBC is calling “MJ: Insights to Excellence,” which aired Tuesday night between games of a doubleheader on the network.
Asked by interviewer Mike Tirico what he thought of the notion of “load management” — the phrase typically used to describe when players are held out of a game for rest, not injury — Jordan didn’t hold back.
“Well, it shouldn’t be needed, first and foremost,” Jordan said.
