Dead serious bro. He'll never win a title unless he becomes mentally tough enough to play through cramps. Until then he'll just be Prince James.

don't eff with me, homie.....My BS detector is on the fritz. you trying to troll me? You don't have that OK4P skill level to do that. Ahhhh, 9 years later i get it, I see what you are doing.:)
 
No, really I think while it would have been great for the Heat to steal a very winnable Game 1 on the road, they had to like a lot of the things they saw last night up until LeBron went out and the Spurs caught fire.

Cramps and the flu are two different things.......A IV full of saline doesn't make cramps go away.

I dont get why they were icing him. It has always been my understanding that ice would make muscle cramping worse.
It is not a weakness issue, it is a dumb preparation and treatment issue. But that is on LeBron

Yes, we should have prepared for the AC failing and it being 90+ in the arena. MJ would have known that was coming.

Except that nobody else had the same problem, including the 41 year old that played more minutes. Was it hotter for him than everyone else?

This. Cramps are due to dehydration. So either he was out drinking to much this past week, or he just simply didn't take in enough fluids. When I played basketball, it was easy to point out the reasons certain players got cramps....(I may have been guilty of this a time or two.)
To be fair, you can also get cramps if your muscles have been overused or you have an injury.
 
Cramps are not comparable to flu. Lebron got caught short of fluids, and should get no criticism for not playing late...he was locked up.

Both teams played well, but that Spurs 4th period shooting display( 14 of 16, 6 of 6 from the arc) is off the charts.
It took that to beat the Heat who were playing well right up until Lebron went out for good.
Heat always bounce back in game two( 5-0 in game 2 after losing game 1), so this is gonna be a long series.
Go Spurs....beat those nasty Heat!
 
In cases like LeBron's game last night, I would be really interested to see the data on how far, both horizontally and vertically, LeBron traveled during the course of the game. My gut tells me that he probably traveled farther than other players, even those who played more minutes, and that more movement was a contributing factors to the severity of his cramping.

No way bro, it's totally because he was out drinking last night and refused to drink any water before the game.

Tony Parker disagrees. That and he was taking himself out pretty early and often. Its not like it only started in his 'll ast minutes.

Last night proves once again that LeBron may have a couple rings but he's not a real champion.

Nah. It just proves that folks like you refuse to acknowledge that James can be at fault for anything.

Others are right, flu and cramps are not comparable. Cramps can be prevented, the flu can't.

How are you defining "early and often"? LeBron had normal rest periods at the start of the 2nd quarter and the middle of the the 3rd quarter. Other than when he was cramping in the 4th, he was never taken out of the game prior to those two times. He had played more minutes than anyone else when he exited the game in the 4th.

Tony Parker, a guy who literally does laps on the court, played 37 minutes. James played 33. Make all the excuses you want, the heat effected him far greater than anyone else (including a 41 year old.)
