LeBron James blames sleeved jerseys for struggles against Spurs

After going for 61 points on Monday, LeBron James had one of his worst shooting games Thursday against the San Antonio Spurs. James and the Heat struggled throughout the game, LBJ was 6-of-18 from the field, and apparently, the long sleeved jerseys were partly to blame, as he told reporters after the game.

“I’m not making excuses, but I’m not a big fan of the jerseys,” James told reporters. “Not a big fan of them. I have to figure something out the next time I have to wear the short-sleeved jerseys.”

“Every time I shoot it pulled,” James continued. “It feels like it’s just pulling every time I shoot, right underneath my arm. I already don’t have much room for error on my jumpshot anyway, so it’s definitely not a good thing.”
