LeBron: I want less playing time

[Kidbasketball20]

"I wouldn't mind it," James said. "I think we have to give our guys on the bench more of an opportunity. I looked at a stat and myself, Kyrie (Irving) and Kevin (Love) are three of the top five guys in the league in minutes per game and that has to come down."

"For me, I don't want to do that all year," James said. "Obviously right now it's difficult because we're trying to find a groove, we're trying to find a rhythm and we're trying to implement something that you don't want to shortcut it, but at the same time you want to be smart about it. So, I don't mind giving a few of my minutes up just to help the team, to help my minutes go down. I think it would be for the best."

They have to cling onto something. Tough times for Kobe stans.

Could be worse...

Could be worse...

Yes, as opposed to leading his team to a 2-9 start while shooting sub 40% Kobe Bryant could be putting up 28/8/4 on 57/50/80 in the NBA finals

and at least Kobe is past his prime.

Lobron getting another L in his prime (2-4).

More legacy damaging.

2-5 coming up.

The Spurs have a minute restriction and it seems to work well form them. However, since it is LeBron suggesting it he is just a little bitch, right guys???

Are those guys in the prime of their career?

[oh the horror]

In all fairness Lebron did come out of HS and has logged a lot of ball.



But on the other hand can you guys imagine other all time greats saying shit like this given Lebron's career thus far?


Sorry dudes but from what I've seen of Bron this is more of the dude being a lame at times.

Tim Duncan hasn't played more than 34.8mpg since he was 27. He's averaged over 40mpg ONE SEASON. Tony Parker has NEVER averaged more than 34.4. Manu Ginobili has never averaged over 31.1. Lebron has an 39.5mpg career average and four seasons averaging over 40mpg. Keep going though. Clowns.
