LeBron James, the star player of the Los Angeles Lakers, demonstrated exceptional skills during the last NBA season. His outstanding efforts helped the team secure a spot in the playoffs by winning the Play-In tournament. However, they were ultimately defeated by the Denver Nuggets in the first-round series.
At the beginning of the last NBA season, James faced minute restrictions, which he found disappointing. However, his impact on the team’s performance was undeniable, and his disappointment did not hinder his overall contribution to the Lakers’ journey in the NBA season.
James was heard saying, “Two shots in 8 minutes just for cardio. I already hate this, it’s just trash” in his new Netflix series, Starting 5. The all-time points leader played only 29 minutes in the last season opener against the Denver Nuggets, which resulted in a loss.
“Yeah I know. I know ya’ll got me on f—in’ old man time percentages and sh–. Play eight minutes and sh–. Two shots in eight minutes and just getting cardio. I hate this sh– already. This shit’s garbage. You guys know I’m in better shape than everybody.” James said in the Netflix’s Starting 5 series.
The NBA’s minutes restriction rule stipulates that a player must play at least 20 minutes in a regular-season game to be officially considered as having participated in it.
