"In today's age, there are players that would be looking for numbers," Spoesltra said. "LeBron is just trying to play the game the right way. That takes great maturity."
- thats only half true, the other half is beyond laughable.
It actually is very true. LBJ is an all-around player and doesn't care about scoring as much. He could've easily gotten 55-60 last night if he truly wanted to. LBJ could've chucked up many more shots last night if his main concern was having another 50+ night for the 2nd time in 2 weeks but he chose not to. LBJ was 10-11 in the first quarter. For the rest of the game he went 4-8. If a player like Kobe or Melo scored 25 in the first quarter on 11 shots, those guys are going to at least put up another 15 shots or so in the next 3 quarters so they can get that 50 or 60 point game. If LBJ finished the game with 25 shots instead of 19, he would've been around 55 or so points but he never got out of character and started being a ball hog or anything.
43 points on only 19 shots is pretty darn impressive.
