Steve Kerr, head coach of the Golden State Warriors, reflects on his long-standing call for a shortened NBA season amidst rising injury rates and the financial realities of the league. While he advocates for fewer games, citing the increasing number of games missed by players due to injuries, he acknowledges that economic interests hinder significant reform. Kerr connects his views to the influence of billionaire owners and suggests that the league's profitability outweighs the push for quality over quantity.

Statistically, the average number of games missed by players has more than doubled since the 1980s, underscoring concerns over player health and sustainability in a grueling 82-game schedule. Despite previous attempts to engage NBA Commissioner Adam Silver on the topic, Kerr expresses skepticism about any real changes, noting that America's capitalist nature often prioritizes profit over quality adjustments in sports.
