After the Los Angeles Lakers lost back-to-back games for the first time this season following Thursday night’s stunning loss to the Detroit Pistons. The Lakers went scoreless for over five minutes of gametime in the 4th quarter of Thursday night’s loss and the questions are naturally arising: is it the best thing for LeBron James to keep playing? Is he finally showing signs of getting tired for the first time this season?
Well, the answer for LeBron, as always, is no. Especially after LeBron has entered the teens of his career at the same time the league became hip to load management, James has been facing these questions for the past five years and the answer remains the same.
LeBron on getting tired on the road: “I don’t get tired. I don’t feel tired. I get my sleep. I get my rest. I have a lot of energy. I don’t get tired.”

James is always sensitive to the questions about his aging and his workload, so it’s not a surprise that he was assertive in his answer to the questions about it following a loss to what was the the worst team in the Eastern Conference. Now James has the day to rest before facing off against the Boston Celtics on Saturday night.
