In context
RaheemYou talk about 68, 66, 39, 19 and 38 games over the last five seasons. You're talking 230 out of 410 possible games. That's about 56%. Meanwhile, you look at LeBron James. He is at 312 games over the last five seasons, 62 per season. Last year, he was down to 60.
RaheemLeBron is coming into this season, and he already has arthritis.
RaheemAnd there were pictures of him, you know, getting off the helicopter from Philly to New York. I mean, his toes look bad, man. He need to have some type of surgery.
RaheemIt's looking rough. But ultimately, I probably put this at 31 and a half. I think the wild card here is that I actually think Embiid may be healthier than LeBron this year. like he slimmed down yeah like this this is the smallest that Joel Embiid has been for quite a while and I think this was a year to where he was actually able to practice and work out as opposed to doing rehab meanwhile I think LeBron may actually play
Raheemless games than expected so depending on how many games you expect LeBron to play I think you could probably bump this up from like I'm putting this at 31 and a half maybe you could put this at
Raheem34, 35.
RaheemBut I'm worried about LeBron. I think they're going to rest him a ton.
