“If I’m hurt, I don’t play. If not, I’m playing,” James told ESPN as he knocked on the wooden façade of his locker after the Lakers’ 95-80 win over the Miami Heat on Friday night. “That’s what has always been my motto.”
“LeBron’s healthy, LeBron’ll play. That’s all I’ll talk about,” James said. “I don’t talk about nobody else but me.”
“Talk to my coaches,” James said. “You know how many times me and T-Lue (Tyronn Lue) got into it in Cleveland when he wanted to sit me and I wanted to play. I’m healthy, I play. I probably got a good 45 years to not play basketball.”
James has been excellent during the Lakers’ 7-1 start to the 2019-20 campaign.
The three-time Finals MVP is averaging 26 points, 7.8 boards, and an NBA-leading 10.5 assists in 35.1 minutes per game.
We’ll see how he fares in the second half of the season. . .
