The Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James has led his team to many victories so far this season through his explosive play. This was again evidenced Friday night against the New York Knicks, during which James scored 31 points; dished six assists; and defensively racked up three rebounds, two steals and a block.
The consequent arising concern, however, is the stability of LeBron’s health and performance in the long term as the season progresses into the playoffs.
Such was a concern during James’ first season back with Cleveland last year, especially going into the playoffs. On top of that, the Cavaliers were unfortunately dealt the wrong cards going into the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors, as James was left alone with his two superstar companions out with injuries suffered during the playoff run.
