Yeah it may have been a good game, but if your money was spent to see LeBron, hard to say you got your money's worth. I get what you're saying tho
Dan Dakich thoughts on LeBron resting.

This assumption that people have unlimited resources and just pick and choose when and where they can go to games is not reality for a lot of people. And they should matter.
Who is making such an assumption? What I said is most relevant for people with limited resources.
Exactly. When you buy a ticket you are paying to see an athletic competition...that is all you are guaranteed. If you want to see a certain player, there is an inherent risk that they may not be out there for a variety of reasons. It's up to you to be aware of and minimize that risk if it's that important to you to see one guy.

I get this point of view, but it assumes I'm comparing the toppings on the burger to LeBron himself. That's not the comparison.
The comparison is Whataburger not giving me what I asked to the Cleveland Cavaliers not giving any indication until game day, hence the team not providing the product they promised, which is probably the driver of the price I paid for that ticket. I said a while back my only concern is that customers are made whole, if LeBron needs to rest, then he needs to rest. Like you said, he's a human being that's understandable. Just hate to see people in the situation like the one I'm describing where there's nothing they can do but eat the cost of tickets they do not want
Go on any NBA team's site and go thru ticket prices. The games against the best teams with the best players always cost more because they're more attractive tickets. People are paying LeBron ticket money for Kevin Love tickets
nikkas be tired.

Lebron has earned every right to rest. Dude's body is taxed as hell already
Lebron can do whatever he feels is best for him.
It's just odd (to me) to see a healthy player resting 10 games into the season. I'm not going togo and reference other players who didn't do this at 31 it's just strange to me. But if it helps them in june i guess its for the greater good

How is it odd to you when
- Knowing he's played starter minutes since he was 18, so his "31" is different than a "31" who came into the league after college
- Reading the amount of minutes played in the post right above you?

He's an idiot. Dude went age instead of minutes logged while neglecting that he's started since he was 18.
Dude is just dumb

You have like at least 10 years on me and have been calling me names on the internet all morning. Even if I am "dumb" or "an idiot" which is objectively false, I wouldn't trade my stupidity for your emotional maturity, ever
