LABron James Discussion: Olympics MVP

Interesting. Caution dictates that you should manage his load but his mindset is what drove him to be the best in shape 40y old ever. He even said he's more in shape than many youngsters, so I think you just have to take his word and not restrict him.

He also just complained about having to travel to Milwaukee for a preseason game, which I agree. Who decides where they play? Is it the NBA or Lakers management?

We are going to Vegas next btw

 

its a lose lose situation

he probably is in better shape than anyone else on the team and wouldn't have any issues playing 35-36 minutes a game. don't think there's any athlete in sports history who has put more time and money into preserving his body than lebron, not to mention he's clearly got some freakishly good genes

but at the same time, you also run the risk of running him into the ground like kobe in 2013 and then everyone will ask why the lakers didn't restrict his minutes

Leaderless clown always seems to have impeccable timing for his circus acts.

 

I'm a bit confused with Lebron pushing back on minutes restrictions. He was usually gassed late in games with minute restrictions anyway. He's definitely no spring chicken.

 

Someone send this kid a gift basket of cookies!
Love it!

 

Got to admit I was wrong about LeBron. After getting past those nagging injuries he is back to being the best player in the league and it is not even close. LeBron doesn't need anyone to manage his minutes. He knows better than anyone what he needs. He needs rest he will rest. With JJ unleashing AR, Max and Knecht we are in a great spot to tie up them darn c-rags again.

 

the clip was from last year with Ham, so it's odd it's coming up now.

 

That may be a tad too optimistic LOL.

I will say this though - he looks good and if he (and AD) can have another healthy season, we could still be in the mix.

The Lakers are more focused on “making history” than they are on actually starting the season out strong and winning. Why aren’t we just calling it what it is? It’s one of the most selfish & narcissistic assaults on meritocracy in sports.
It's getting ridiculous lol
Why you didn't f***ing complain when Antenokumpo brothers were playing in NBA

 

It's not that deep imo.
I prefer he wasn't here, but it's fine if it's a couple of minutes in a game, just to get it done

 

no, when the bucks pay thanassis, it's just good business keeping the star happy. when we pay kostas, it's just being cagey and remaining in good graces. if another team drafted bronny, it was 4d chess!

 

its only coming up because the netflix show starting 5 just premiered. be prepared to see clips from last year of both lebron and the other players involved in the show being treated as current when they arent

 

lavar ball was spot on about whitlock. dude is only qualified to talk about snacks

 

What was Lebron mad about?

 

And Lavar has and always will be qualified to talk out his a**. Broken clocks are right twice a day.

 

Funny because it’s true.
