So he is a hypocrite with his talk that sitting out a game will cheat fans out of their hard earned money that they spent for tickets? It is alright to give less effort as long as he plays? I don’t agree with that, Lebron is giving the effort that he can give. He just isn’t 28 yo Lebron anymore. |
Pacing yourself isn’t being a hypocrite.
Neither is sitting in the 4th quarter of a blowout.

Man, I hope you're wrong VLF, at least one more season and after a chip... but he is 35 |

Lebron at 40 will be better than Prime Randle (the guy Lebron replaced). We’ll be fine. |

Lebron will go as hard in the regular season as he can while keeping the playoffs in mind. He’s had the big picture in mind since 2013 or so.
Problem is that Prime Lebron going 80-90% in the regular season was still easily the best player in the league. 35 yr old Lebron going 80-90% these days is just a top 5 player. And it’s debatable now that 100% effort by him at this stage is even the best player in the league anymore. We’ll see in the playoffs.
I’m not knocking him. Father Time is undefeated. He’s old and has a lot of mileage on those legs...and the top players of this era are no joke.
In the end...I don’t care if he’s the 1st,2nd,or 3rd best player in the league etc. Just play good enough to help us win a title and we good. I believe we still have a great chance with him and AD leading the way |
