Chatter of 60 game seasons would accomplish nothing imo. Guys would still want to sit out 5-6 games a year uninjured just because.

Larry Bird said "I ain't made that way" when asked about his era 'sitting out games'.

I was watching the 1992 Dream Team replayed games on the Olympic Channel last month. Larry Bird, with a back injury (would sit in a body suit on off days) was leaping out of bounds for loose balls. That is a champion.
