If LeBron Is Coasting

[BeastMode24]

then why is he playing 42 minutes against the garbage 76ers? in today's nba players very rarely play that many minutes in regulation.

Because he's got the body of a 19 year old.

I think coasting is about the intensity of the minutes as opposed to the amount.
He doesnt have to go all out with his teammates around to pick up the scoring and rebounding slack. Allowing him to get hit less in the regular season and be ready for the playoffs.

As for why are his minutes so high? Cause the Cavs didnt pay Delladova and the team has no backup pointguard so Kyrie and Lebron kinda need to be on the court at all times

Insidehoops guys who never played basketball think minute quanity = high intensity. Sigh..

Coz he knows hes not the first option already. So he has to pad his stats to fool his gullible fans:lol

I wouldn't be surprised if he averages high minutes all season but sits out ~10 games to rest up.

How did you even figure out how to make an account on here?

let your boy have 1 respected ring first before calling people dumb. :lol

I don't think OP knows what "coasting" in basketball means
