His conditioning has never been “fine” or even borderline acceptable. The Big East Tournament Crampfest, in the first half no less, is testament to that. As others have said, we have no proven track record that James can shoot at a % level that actually wins games.
I love James but until he sends his posse packing and gets more experience handlers to guide him, he is not going to achieve what he could have. Moreover, we are now in the late innings getting those things to happen.
I pray he channels his numerous wake up calls into a plan that gets executed with discipline. Chief is always there for him, if he reaches out.
