Will Tracy McGrady play in the NBL?

Yeah, sounds like a cheeky jab at Flynn from last season.

Anstey's theory is a little naive.

Isn't the "the worst trainer would be best paid" theory indicative of modern employment anyway?

CEOs, Managers, Partners etc. don't necessarily work as hard or as long as the office rats, but much like marquee NBL players would, they have to assume liability when things don't go so well.

Not too mention, these people in high-end positions have earned their place there. They are veterans of the game and have put in the work for years.

There is a reason why the office rats / "Average NBL players" have to work harder....they aren't as skillful.

Gee, some interesting comments by Anstey, I wonder if other sports share his view. I would have thought it would depend on the type of marque player, for instance if it is a guard or small forward type, then yeah I get it.

But, if it was a power forward or centre, you would want to look after that player a bit, not grind them into the ground but use their skills inside to do the damage.

I get the idea of team and the fact others on a lesser pay packet may look down on him, but horses for courses...
