Allen Iverson blasts load management: “Rest me at practice, not during games”

NBA legend Allen Iverson ripped today’s load management trend, saying he’d never accept being benched for rest during his playing days.

“Can you imagine somebody telling me, ‘We’re going to rest you tonight’? What do you mean, rest me? It’s a game… You want to talk about practice? Rest me tomorrow at practice,” Iverson said.

His remarks reignite the ongoing debate over player rest vs. fan experience, one of the most polarizing issues in modern basketball.
