CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A 32-year-old superstar, in this era, shouldn't play as much as LeBron James has played this season. None do.
When it comes to playing time, stop the Michael Jordan comparisons back to an era when the NBA thought very differently about the minutes it put on its superstars. Examine James in his own context.
This is too much. We'll show the minutes of the greats of the recent past to prove it. James is the exception to every rule in basketball, and the Cavs are putting that to the test by failing to live up to the promise of tailoring the minutes of the 14-year veteran.
