LeBron: I want less playing time

[Quickening]

what a crybaby. In his first 848 games, Michael Jordan was averaging 38.57 MPG. During that span he also played 158 playoff games and averaged 41.78 MPG. That's not including 3 years of college ball. That also puts him at the age of 34 years old at the end of the 96-97 playoffs. Jordan played in an era of much more physical defensive basketball... hand checking was allowed, no such thing as defensive 3-seconds, and groups like the Detroit Pistons "Bad Boys" whose sole purpose was to murder people who went to the rim. I can't offer you stats of how many times he was fouled but over those combined 1,006 games, Jordan went to the line an average of 8.88 times a game. Watch the games back then and watch what it means to get hammered every time going to the rim. Add to the fact that Jordan was listed at 6'6" and a mere 195 lbs and it's amazing Jordan even survived... let alone put in over 39 minutes a game (reg + playoffs)

Tldr... That guy quit basketball for a rest mid career, stfu

We are 9 games into the season and he's complaining about minutes?

and at least Kobe is past his prime.

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

More legacy damaging.

2-5 coming up.

Are you trolling for fun or a straight up moron?

Don't bother responding actually.

Being a one man basketball army in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2014 ... Honestly the guy deserves it.

I see no problem in him conserving himself for the post season run. LeBron has earned reduced wear and tear as far as I'm concerned. He doesn't take entire games off for general soreness like certain players.

Or bail on his country at the last second after making commitments.

I think he's trying to get his coach fired.

Likely this. Man gotta feel in charge.

I agree with Bron the man is in his 12th year and has played more basketball in the past 4 years than anyone in the NBA

[D-FENS]

Most good players want to play 48 mins a game. Bran is a *****

[Dragic4Life]

So? What's the big deal here?

I think lebron said the big 3 should get less playing time so the team could gel better and learn to play better together since they have such a deep bench. Obviously some low life who obssesses about Lebron 24/7 would come and twist/spin the whole saying into something completely different. Its these sort of losers who amount to nothing (net negative) in life to themselves and others around them.

He said the exact same thing four years ago when the cHeats were struggling early in their first season together. He said that after a loss, but just one game prior he was playing in garbage time, shamelessly padding his stats. So don't give me that wear & tear bullshit.

[Kidbasketball20]

He wants less playing time but wants all the credit for taking on, "the burden of leading a young team" **** you LeBron

I can see why he wants less playing time. Pad those stats in 30 minutes all he can, then sit out the remainder of the game. Bumps his PER up tremendously. He gunning to surpass MJ in career PER.
