LeBron James Comments on Wanting to Play More Minutes, Recent Performance

Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James has been nothing short of a workhorse over his 13-year career. In that span, he's averaged 39.2 minutes per game, something the Cavaliers have wanted to decrease, according to Cleveland.com's Joe Vardon.

Even James himself called for a decrease in his minutes last season, when he was averaging close to 40 minutes per game, per Vardon. When James spoke after practice on Thursday, it sounded like his sentiment had changed.

"I'm not a 31-, 32-minute guy. That's just not, that ain't me. ... I'm playing at a high level," he told Vardon.
