NBA..... Why no oxygen for players on benches?

Recommended Posts

The NFL uses oxygen for players on the sidelines..... why doesn't the NBA? 

 

Lakers at the Mile High city of Denver, the air is thin and out of towners not acclimated to the air like the Nuggs..... Old man Lebron been gassing out last series.... just grab a little O2 for a few mins while on the bench.

Can't figure how to like my own posts

My family took a ski trip vacation to Breckenridge when I was like 17 or 18 years old. First time out west for me! I remember dad (a CHAMPION smoker) having to have an oxygen tank brought to the room. And man, did I make fun of him for it. 

 

Fast forward about 30 years; we had shows in Denver and CO Springs last month. And yep, I was strugglin' through the sets. Wasn't bad enough to need oxygen though I did see that Breckenridge is like another 4k feet up from Denver so I probably absolutely would have there. 

 

All the things I used to make fun of dad about when I was a kid ... yep, karma came knockin. At least I have SOME of my hair still 😂

Funny you mention that. When my dad is doing/experiencing something as a result of his advanced age, right before I’m about to give him crap for it I think to myself, that’s gonna be you in ~35yrs, let it go! 😂

I'm sure you can Google an informed answer, but my guess is the bigger guys who actually get the oxygen in the NFL would be at risk of passing out or some kind of actual heart failure with the way they push their bodies at the weight they carry without that pure O². NBA players are much leaner than any NFL linemen and while they're tired, I doubt they're in any danger.
