Why LeBron's Sprained Wrist Will Benefit The Cavs In The Long-Term
30 is not the new 20
LeBron's body is telling him that it is time to rest. If Kobe has not shown that you do not stay young forever, the injuries will force him to give his body rest. A decade plus, 2 Championships and 4 MVP's later, LBJ's body has miles on it! When you are the best player in the world it does not take you a long time to get into playoff mode. This means that LBJ's rest will only work in his favor in the long-term. Unlike most players in the league, LBJ will not be impacted by the time off. LBJ's natural talent allows him to play 'cold' and still perform extremely better than the best player on the opposing team.
Chemistry
What the Cavs will lose from the LBJ's injury is the opportunity to build team chemistry. With the addition of J.R. and the fact that the Cavs already lacked chemistry, losing LeBron to another injury means 'The Big 3' will become less relevant than they already have been this season. The Big 3 that has managed to make K. Love look like an average player; The Big 3 that since joining, LBJ has missed a career high number of games with. Where do we go from here?
Superman
I am guessing LBJ will miss the All-Star game this year due this his most recent injury. This will be good for his mindset considering the fact that he will have to be Superman during this season's playoffs. Despite his 2 championships, there is no one in the league that wants a championship badder than LBJ. Around the 2nd year of college, everyone seems to look back at their high school years and wonder: If I knew back then, what I know now... This was LBJ's mindset after winning his 2nd championship in Miami. He learned to take his game to another level. The game was coming so easy to him that he ended up back in Cleveland in an attempt to bless his home city with the knowledge he has gained. To anyone that has forgotten, you will soon see the one man show. LBJ's latest injury has officially made it 'all or nothing' time James. In a few months, we will WITNESS greatness on a new level.
