From the very beginning of the NBA season last year you could tell that there was a sense of frustration constantly brewing with LeBron James. Now, thanks to Netflix’s “Starting 5” series giving us a glimpse into the season of five NBA stars, we know exactly where that frustration for James was coming from. In a clip from the new series, James can be heard vehemently declaring his frustration with Darvin Ham’s minutes restriction as soon as the season started. He complained to the Lakers’ assistant coaches about the decision to keep him limit the time he spent on the floor. “I know you got me on [expletive] old man time percentages and [expletive],” LeBron James said. “Played eight minutes and [expletive]. Two shots in eight minutes. Just getting cardio. I hate this [expletive] already. This [expletive]’s garbage.” -via For The Win / October 9, 2024
