A little respect for coaches and PT

ND at the Team Rebound blog has done a fascinating job of following up my examination of the workload of top players on title teams. I noted that top players who play huge minutes used to win titles, but stopped seven years ago. Related: LeBron James last year, who played a ton of minutes in the regular season (3,063) and then led the league in playoff minutes (922) fizzled at the end of the Finals. Not since Ben Wallace in 2004 has any player passed 3,000 minutes in a season and finished in a title.
