NBA stars have very specific rules to follow. Players can’t practice all the sports they want, for example…
Yes football is the national sport in France, it is very different on the side of the United States. Americans are mainly fans of four sports: American football, hockey, baseball and basketball. And at the start of 2023, the NBA made a lot of noise around the world. First there was the match between the Chicago Bulls to Detroit Pistons which took place in Paris. On February 8, it was the exploits of Lebron James that made people talk, since he became the leading scorer in NBA history. More recently, it was the All Star Game that caused the buzz. A match that brought together the biggest stars of the league who competed in the profile of two associations. And to be in top form, these top-level basketball players have strict rules to follow!
Among the rules that players must follow to the letter, there is the prohibition to practice certain sports. Out of the question for the NBA and its thirty franchises that their athletes are injured! While the ski resorts are in full swing at the moment, basketball players are prohibited from skiing or snowboarding. A fall in the mountains could cause very serious injuries. In the air too, basketball players can’t do anything. Hang-gliding is also prohibited…
Playing basketball outside the NBA is allowed, but…
Ironically, players can’t play basketball the way they want outside of the regular season. They can practice their sport only within a regulated and precise framework. For example, if they want to participate in an international competition such as the European Championship, the World Cup or the Olympic Games with their national team, they must take out additional insurance. Likewise if they want to participate in a charity game that is not organized by the NBA. Despite everything, all sports are not advised against them outside the courts… The players of the NBA have the opportunity to play golf, tennis, volleyball or go swimming or hiking.
