LeBron is making it really clear, he does not want a repeat of what he had to do in the NBA Finals. A lot of that was because of injuries, but he isn’t being shy about saying he will not carry the Cavs, he wants his rest and other players to step up.
“I will lead this team but I don’t have to carry it,” James said before shootaround as the Cavs prepared to play the Atlanta Hawks in their preseason opener at Xavier University on Wednesday night. “We have enough guys until all our guys get here.
“Until Kyrie (Irving) and Tristan (Thompson) and Shump (Iman Shumpert) is ready, we have enough guys that will all help. It’s not about me carrying the team and that nature. We’re all grown men, we’re all professionals and they’re here to do their job.”
Basically, if you aren’t helping him, you have to get to stepping. Curious how the beginning of the season goes for Cavs.
