Anybody that thinks a star player like LeBron or Curry is completely helpless on load management days is either clueless or being intentionally obtuse. All Curry has to do is drop one IG post saying that he wants to play, and he's going to play. These guys just don't appreciate the fans like old school players did

I don't think Curry has been a guy who's managed a lot of loads but correct me if I'm wrong definitely. A lot of the games he hasn't played has been due to injury. You could say he sat a lot of 4th quarters on those good teams, but that also hurts his stats quite a lot I'd say.

Why bring up two of the oldest guys in the league? If anyone should take extra rest days, it's players over 35.

Because they make the aforementioned millions and people all over the world come to watch them play in person.

Guys over 35 have specific exceptions to rest for this very reason.
