Patrick Ewing: I think (the rookie wall) is a myth. These kids today, they’re traveling all over to the AAU tournaments. They play way more games now than we did back then. Even with 82 games, with these kids, because of their rigorous schedule that they have gone through in high school and grade school, I don’t think that (the number of NBA games is) going to affect them the way that it probably did in the past. Also, when I came into the league, training camp was a lot longer. We used to go two-a-days, three hours each session. Those are gone. So, they’re given opportunities to rest and get their legs (recharged).
