At 33 years of age, LeBron James has had to learn how to pace himself on the court for 48 minutes but don’t you dare call him “slow”.
According to the NBA’s tracking data, which keeps record of every players move on the court, LeBron James is the slowest player on the court clocking in at an average speed of 3.4 MPH during the first three game of the Celtics-Cavs series.
Let’s just say LeBron is not a fan of this particular stat.
The Athletic (via FTW):
“That’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard,” James told The Athletic after his 44 points evened this series at two games each. “That tracking bullshit can kiss my ass. The slowest guy? Get out of here.”
James then offered a suggestion…
“Tell them to track how tired I am after the game, track that shit,” James said. “I’m No. 1 in the NBA on how tired I am after the game.”
Damn LeBron, tell us how you really feel.
