CLEVELAND: Given the level of discussion it’s generated thus far, it’s shocking that LeBron James’ back doesn’t have its own parody account on Twitter.
His perceived back issues are apparently becoming a thing and, given the fact he’s on a physical maintenance program, James shocked some with his answer when asked how many games he planned to play this upcoming season.
“Eighty-two,” he said.
Just for the sake of specificity, he answered in the affirmative when asked by the Beacon Journal whether that was realistic and again when asked about all 82 games. James has been seen lying down and stretching his back when not on the court, but Cavaliers coach David Blatt said he wasn’t worried.
