This quote is from LeBron and came from a video, so I can't link it.

Quote

“The game is different. I want people/our fans to understand playing 82 games in the 80s and 90s is not the same as playing 82 games in the 2020s. It’s just not. The way we play with the level of pace and speed we play at, it’s a different game now. It’s a lot of soft tissue injuries now because of it… when I first came in the league the biggest concern for injuries was like a high ankle sprain… Now you see the new high ankle sprain is the calf. Hopefully we get a handle on that from a medical standpoint but I just want the fans to understand the game is a little different”

League avg pace in 2026: 99.6

League avg pace in 1990: 98.3

That means today, players have to play an extra 2.5 possessions per game.  That ain't ****.
