LOS ANGELES -- With the topic of NBA players sitting out games for rest in the public spotlight after league commissioner Adam Silver issued a memo to all 30 teams about the problem, Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James says that all rest is not created equal.
More to the point, James believes that when he sits out a game -- as he did, along with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, in the Cavs' 108-78 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers over the weekend -- it is viewed differently than when just about any other player in the NBA does the same.
