LeBron James is expressing reservations about his Miami Heat having to wear sleeved-jerseys during the league's Christmas Day smorasburg of games.
All ten teams in action on Xmas day are slated to wear sleeved jerseys in a move the league is pushing fast and hard. But according to CBSSports.com, James and several other players are already rebelling.
"I can't have my shooters out there worrying about some sleeves and not shooting the ball," James told CBS, adding his shooters "are already upset about" the mandate.
Still others are quick to point out that the Golden State Warriors, featuring sharpshooters Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, have already worn the jerseys several times this season without any consequences.
The defending champion Heat visit the L.A. Lakers on Xmas in a nationally televised game James, Dwyane Wade and company are also hoping will go along way it reaffirming their dominance.
Currently, the Heat rank as the Eastern Conference's No. 2 seed, just a game behind the frontrunning Indiana Pacers, whom they knocked off in a hugely watched league showdown earlier this week.
