A few days ago, the famous NBA reporter Dave McMenamin (Dave McMenamin) said on the show that the Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James said that he never believed in load management and he would play as long as he was healthy.
McMenamin said: “I mean, LeBron James has told me that he never believes in load management. He has told me time and time again that as long as he is healthy, he will definitely play. So if he Load management was suddenly implemented this year. Either he has changed his position and his mind, or he is a hypocrite. Let us see how it turns out.”
He continued: “For LeBron, one thing is his top priority. At this stage of his career, he will only care about the championship. But I don’t think LeBron will rest for rest. I have always been Know what LeBron is. If he wants to play in the regular season, he will say, let me play, don’t take me off in order to let me rest. I always know LeBron is such a person.”
In recent years, the problem of star load management has caused heated discussions. Among them, the most controversial is Kawhi Leonard, the star of the Los Angeles Clippers. As a superstar in his prime, Leonard often chooses to take a break when he is healthy. This has not only triggered media discussions, but even made his teammates uncomfortable inside the Clippers.
Compared to Leonard, LeBron has maintained a very high attendance rate in his personal career. Moreover, LeBron has averaged more than 40 minutes per game for several seasons in his career. In the 2017-18 season, LeBron even played 82 regular games.
Of course, for LeBron, who is about to turn 36, he does need more rest this season. Last season, due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, the NBA had to close the game in Orlando to finish the season. After leading the Lakers to the championship, LeBron experienced the shortest offseason in NBA history. If LeBron wants to reserve more energy for the playoffs in the new season to achieve the title defense, then he will inevitably save energy and recuperate in the regular season.
