I wouldn’t expect an athlete to say anything else. Using the NBA finals as an example: Kevin Durand “felt great” prior to catastrophic year injuring himself and being out for a year.
This is where sports science and our training staff needs to make the call.
Same goes with Iron Man Bradley. There’s been more than one occasion where he’s demanded to play and clearly had nothing left in the tank. He needs to sit on occasion, even if he gets bitchy.
