Summary

So Lebron is spoutin' off about his "warning" the NBA there would be injuries due to the players not getting enough rest and playing too much. Really Lebron? What kind of crap is that? Players play in the Olympics and then come back and play in the regular season. They don't seem to mind. YOU didn't seem to mind when you played in the Olympics now did you? And what about the players that play in summer leagues overseas? They don't seem to mind. This was a shortened season due to to the pandemic and yet you're saying injuries are due to too much play? Oh c'mon Lebron. Who are you kidding? The NBA has some of the best trained and most athletic players in sports. Are there more injuries this year than years past? You should know if you're going to make that kind of a statement. If anything, the injuries would be more a result of playing less and not staying in shape. Can you just please, keep your mouth shut and quit trying to have an opinion on everything? Maybe you should be the NBA Commissioner. Then you could speak up. But for now, we're tired of hearing your yappin'. Enough already. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:29.7	Now correct me if I'm wrong wasn't the season postponed in the second week of March and
0:37.5	from that point four it did the players not have off the rest of March all of
0:41.6	April all of, all of April, all of May, all of June, then practice at the end of July and
0:49.2	had a very short regular season in August. And weren't there 22 of 30 teams participating 8 that were not?
0:57.0	And correct me if I'm wrong, didn't the NBA finals start at the very end of September?
1:06.0	And wasn't only two teams playing in the NBA finals, that being the Lakers and the Miami Heat.
1:15.0	So that means that the vast majority of teams
1:18.3	had off all of September or at least half of September, okay? And then they had off all of October and all of November.
1:28.0	And then training camp started in December and he started playing games on December 23rd. So LeBron James is
1:38.6	telling me that the quote-unquote best athletes in the world were injured because having off most of September, all of October, and all of November, October, and all of November is not enough for the human body.
1:56.8	Well if that's true, then why the hell are we sending our NBA players to participate in the Olympics every four years and this summer in Japan?
