INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- Coming off his worst game of the season -- a 12-point, six-turnover debacle on 5-for-18 shooting in a loss to the Detroit Pistons -- LeBron James vowed that his body is not breaking down as the season drags on into the post All-Star, pre-playoffs dog days.
In fact, James said he's better off this season at 31 years old than he was last season when he missed a career-high 13 games, including a two-week hiatus to rest.
"It's how my body was feeling," James said Wednesday after the Cleveland Cavaliers held shootaround in preparation for their game against the Charlotte Hornets.
