Maclovin that is the dumbest idea you have made. You are comparing warm up to actual in game? I play a lot and different types of shirt fits do make a difference.
Remember the new non leather basketballs. It didn't bother most players, but it bothered enough where they got rid of them. The sleeved jerseys are terrible. The only people it doesn't bother are people without muscles.
Lebron is starting to feel his age/mileage take a toll on his athleticism and his ego demands he begin the excuse train. Just wait until he is 31-32 and has visibly lost a step. On another note, how could this guy have played in the 80s and early 90s if he can't even overcome his own jersey? I'm disappointed. I thought he had become mentally tougher than this.
Complaining about the product that rivals his biggest endorser, the same company that paid him 90 mil when he was a teenager isn't exactly bad business sense. He makes less than half of his earnings from the NBA. And he probably doesn't like wearing a baggier shirt, considering he wears tight sleeveless jerseys. If he wears a baggier jersey maybe more people can grab him, etc. I just think forcing the sleeves is dumb. I'm sure adidas had a contract with NBA for freedom with a few one offs and the sleeves are what they tried to push, they should give the players a choice of sleeves, and not mandate them.

61 point game put him back in the MVP discussion, but then he followed it up with 3 forgettable games. Durant's to lose.

There are 3 guys in the NBA that I think guard Lebron well. Jimmy Butler, Kawai Leonard, and Paul George. They can't shut him down, but they make him work and they all have solid help defense behind them. No coincidence that he hasn't played great in the past two games since he faced 2 of those 3 guys.
