LeBron James Clarifies His ‘100 Percent’ Comment After Recent Return: “Blown Out Of Context”

Coming back for the first time, LeBron James returned to action against the Sacramento Kings last month. LeBron was no slouch, but having to play after the longest absence of his career, he shared that he’ll never get back to 100% in his career.

LeBron is 36-years old and is already sixth on the most minutes played in league history list. Whatever he meant by his statement, people were able to take notice and were quick to deliver some personal reactions and criticism to the four-time NBA champion.

Now returning for the second time, LeBron James, who missed six more games, had the opportunity to clarify his remark from his first return. According to the Los Angeles Lakers superstar, his comments tend to get blown out of context.

“Whatever I say gets blown out of context. As soon as I step on an NBA floor for the first time, I went to 99.9%.”
