Ben Simmons Is Back… So We Read the NBA Rulebook

Ben Simmons is back in the NBA, and we genuinely hope it goes well for him. We also learn that he may have gone from basketball player to professional fisherman and back again. Then a Spencer Jones post sends us down a rabbit hole into the NBA’s 700-page Collective Bargaining Agreement—and wow, there are A LOT of rules.We talk about the NBA jock tax, player bonuses, tuition reimbursement, media training, $156-a-day meal allowances, first-class flights, five-star hotels, extra-long beds, 18 days off, All-Star bonuses, free League Pass, and the surprisingly long list of activities NBA players need permission to do.Plus: What should be added to the CBA? Fan board-game days? Rules for NBA owners? Mandatory Pop-Tarts? And, most importantly, should Aaron Gordon and Steven Adams be legally required to play shirts and skins?#NBA #Basketball #GoTeamScorePoints #NBATalk #BenSimmons #SpencerJones #NBAPlayers #NBACBA #BasketballPodcast #NBAFans #JockTax #NBAAllStar
