Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James Now Studies Plays From An iPad

LeBron James isn’t shying away from a new NBA rule change this season like the rest of his Cleveland Cavaliers’ teammates.

Instead, the three-time NBA champion is taking advantage of it, one that now allows players and coaches to use hard-wired connections to view real-time video clips from the bench.

“Just seeing how defenses are playing me, playing us,” James told Cleveland.com about using his iPad, which has been allowed on benches since the 2012-13 season.

“Just trying to stay above the curve and see how I can help.”

When James comes off the floor for a few minutes at a time, Cavaliers’ staffers know to have an iPad at the ready with in-game footage for review.
