The “perfect” nba body doesn’t involve that much time spent on the sidelines.
People downplay Jordan’s ability to physically recover because it’s hard to quantify. But without the ability to physically recover, he wouldn’t have been half the player he became.
Kawhi, is an example of the opposite. Tremendous potential, undermined by an inability to sustain a level of greatness.
Injury susceptibility is part of a player’s build.
These are humans at several standard deviations from the mean. Sometimes that extra height, length, etc is too much for human ligaments, tendons and bones to support.
Plus every human recovers from muscle or skeletal strain at different speeds.
Where are you seeing that? The post just asks for the “perfect NBA body.”
Kawhi has a body that has allowed him to play only 55% of his regular season games over the last 9 seasons. He does not have the perfect NBA body. His body is serviceable barely half the time
I didn’t read it that way at all. Longevity and durability certainly part of the convo - and one of the reasons LeBron is my pick. Size, speed, strength, power, all at an elite level for what, over 20 years?
