'It's the dirty little secret that everybody knows about'

It's the NBA's silent scourge, a pox on the bodies and minds of players. This two-year investigation reveals the dangers of chronic sleep loss in the NBA -- and why one athletic specialist is finally sounding the alarm.

Oh lord... 2019 at its finest. Not to many players would have survived back in the day flying coach, taking trains... 3 games in 3 nights....

I'm sorry, these guys are pampered. LeBron etc complained enough to get the schedule made easier. They make ridiculous money. Let them go labor 50 hours a week for 20 bucks an hour and I'm sure this place 'problem' will solve itself.

I have no problem with leaving the pampered/not pampered question up to whatever folks want to tackle it. But looking at it within a different framework than pampered/not pampered, I’m wondering how big a factor sleep deprivation is, for instance, in “super” situations? Don’t those situations get more pronounced after longer distance trips?

What’s the “dirty little secret?” Is it that they’re pussies?

I don't think you understand what the word "secret" means

On the other hand, maybe sleep deprivation explains their incoherent thought processes and the things they say.

Oh big time it is with how the old schedule was...and in some spots now. I'll expound more after the MNF/NLCS.

Even it’s “a thing,” I’m not sure why the article was framed as if they deserve sympathy? Most regular people are sleep deprived, especially those with children. NHL players would have the same gripe, as would MLB players (they would suffer the most you’d think with 162 games).

The NBA isn’t unique because of this and the article is a fluff piece to kiss whiny NBA players’ asses for some reason. It’s dumb.

This article is basically propaganda by ESPN to promote their 'Schedule Alert' articles as Disney embraces gambling into their fraternity.

These Schedule Alert picks have been cursed ever since they started writing about them.

Nothing to see here.

The only dirty little secret in the NBA is them having China's dick in their mouth.
