When players are getting $500k a game, they shouldn't take games off. Brett Favre and cal ripken wouldn't miss for anything

There aren't enough games in the NFL schedule to decide to just sit a few of them out. Ripken's streak was one of a kind and something we'll never see again.

LeBron can and should sit out 15 or so games a season because the Cavs are a lock to get in the playoffs. The ultimate goal is not to win tonight in Portland, but to be lifting the trophy at the end of the season.

As for your other comment about you working 5-7 days a week for 30 years and not being able to call off work a lot, well you're a little more expendable to your organization than LeBron is to his. LeBron is so good and so irreplaceable that if he decides he doesn't want to play on a given night, the Cavs kinda have to say "ok" and move on.

ETA: Lue doesn't want him playing every regular season game anyways. Last year showed the benefits of having a well rested LeBron in the playoffs.
