Lebron "for myself 44 minutes is to much"

[KG Living Legend]

 Omg, are you talking about now Le-con James.

 I really can't stand this guy now. Your 25 years old. you make more Money than almost anyone, it's 9 games into the season and you need to build chemistry.

 You and D wade are playing to much? Really??  Can't take it.

Please don't mask profanity.

Let him make excuses. Everyone sees through that.

Like Wojo said - There you go Coach Spol, there's your superstar. Enjoy him -  (or something similar)

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

What a whiny chump. CHUMP, CHUMP, CHUMP, CHUMP, CHUMP. Already whining and crying. Gets no T for barking at the refs last night, then sits on the floor bellyachin' after falling during one of his "I wasn't fouled but I get the call anyway" calls -- and he STILL moans and groans! Great talent, but a complete, spoiled, rotten, selfish brat. Of course, most of us knew this already, but it's more clear with every passing loss. Cleveland fans, rejoice that LeBrick is no longer on your team -- you would've been destined, for the duration of his career, to have 65-win regular seasons followed by second-round exits at the hands of the Celtics or another superior team. Miami fans, good luck.

What he expect? They have bare bone bench, no one to carry the slack if all 2 stars and Bosh sits down. They can't afford resting all 3 of them and unless one of them 2, Wade or  LBJ, stays on court, they're not going to go that far.

Heck even Ray Allen plays 40+mins for us and LBJ's complaining?

[NoraG1]

I don't want to hear complaints from athletes making millions for working 40+ min. I know there is other things they do but none of it will be worth the amount they get. Stop the whining.

[Fafnir]

I don't think LeBron was wrong in his assessment. He was gassed at the end of the game, Spolestra can't have him initiating all of their offense without giving him a blow.

We've all seen how spent Rondo is when he doesn't get a break in the playoffs last year.

Now he shouldn't whine about it to the media, he should just deal with it with his coach.

[KG Living Legend]

You don't say that anytime to the media. No athlete should ever say that it's pathetic, can you imagine KG saying that? Pierce? Jordan? Bird? Russell??? Iverson? baby? No athlete says that. What a Loser.

He's right, but it was his choice to leave Clevland, a team with a much larger supporting cast.

He is correct that it is too many minutes, but there really isn't anyone to blame. They will have to wait for Miller to join the wing rotation.

[Birdbrain]

Why is he right?  He did the same thing in Cleveland and I never heard ' this ' excuse.  Cleveland you know the team with no talent who now looks like they have talent without having too watch 1 guy pound the ball for 22 seconds.  Keep on crying (like always) and you'll keep on coming up short.  His problem is lack of a father figure.  Wade needs to do a better job of guiding him. 

[xmuscularghandix]

Lebron’s right. He should have just gave up after being down 20 points. That way he would have ended up with only like 20 minutes played 

[More Banners]

There are only two ways a coach with any nuts would respond to this:

1) Let Lebron sit on the bench next to the coach for significant parts of a game, or all of a game.  Let him compete for 6th man of the year instead of MVP if he can't handle minutes in big games.

2) Work his pansy ass off in practice until his conditioning is sufficient to  play the wing in the NBA.

And in either case, it must be made clear that this is done in direct response to his PUBLIC comments about playing too many minutes of the greatest game in the greatest league ever.

In general 40+ minutes for any player that needs to "do it all" for a team....it is TOO MUCH.

Ray Allen can play 40+ minutes, but all he is doing for us is running and shooting....mostly.

I think Lebron should dominate the ball less, let Wade dominate the ball some and the 44 minutes that Lebron plays will be an "easier" 44 minutes.

If that's the case, why didn't he complain last season?

He played 18 games over 42 minutes last season, including 2 of 3 vs the Celtics in losses.

He played over 40 minutes in 29 games last season, over 38% of the games he played.

Seems like he wants to get rid of Spoelstra - and this is the 1st shot.

[Seems like he wants to get rid of Spoelstra - and this is the 1st shot.

Actually, it's at least the second shot.  Remember what he said after the loss to Utah?  That Sloan knew what they were going to run?  Totally dissing of Spoelstra's plays...

Lebron is a complete jackass...self-righteous, over-indulged, and extremely adolescent-minded.

[cman88]

Typical Lebron James...placing the blame on everyone else but himself for losing...

The(fake)Elbow injury,The talent on Cleveland, the miami team "chemistry", the coach, playing too many minutes...its never about him
