The kids are having a laugh riot over this on Twitter. “Le-Broning” has replaced Tebowing for the moment. I think Lebron in one of those stars that the majority love to hate, sort of like Gweneth Paltrow in blackface if you will.
Willis Reed he ain’t.
Good lord what a ridiculous article...
LJ didn’t have enough to drink. If they had known it would be 90+ degrees they could have prepared a little better. Most of the heat related deaths he/she references are in August in 100+ degree conditions where stupid coaches don’t allow the players to have water breaks. I’ve been there. i went through two-a-days in Georgia where “water was for the weak.” Nothing new here.
Has anyone made the comparison to MJ playing with the flu yet?
If you have never had cramps then do not comment on this. They are the absolute worst, most debilitating injury you can have.
A severe cramp in a calf or thigh muscle will simply bring you to your knees and you can do nothing else until it’s gone.
LeBron brought it upon himself with that “The Decision” nonsense.
Not to be mean but LeBron isn’t paid that money to fail to properly hydrate and leave the court for the 4th quarter. Cramps are 100% preventable, he didn’t, there’s nothing wrong with giving him guff for it.
But none of the other players developed cramps? Shouldn't more players have gotten cramps if playing in 90 degree heat causes it?
I woke up with cramps in both legs before. That is horrible.
But this article is ridiculous on multiple levels.
Agree 100%. “I’m taking my talents to South Beach...”
What an a-hole.
Hah! I used to get calf cramps during the 3rd quarter of almost every water polo game I played. Couldn’t move my feet until they were stretched back into place.
Nothing but a little bit of pain. Lebron is a girly boy.
You did not have a real cramp then.
LOL! That’s hilarious!
Had the Heat training staff actually done their jobs this would have been a non issue. LeBron has a history of cramping (even in comfortable A/C conditions). It was incumbent on them to get him hydrated at half... they probably should have administered an IV or pulled him at the end of the 4th... gotten him hydrated and put him back out at the end of the 4th.
Cramping can be debilitating, especially when the thigh muscles go, but it was completely preventable.
It’s 91 outside... millions of people might get the Lebrons.... I mean cramps... or not
> You did not have a real cramp then.
I know what “real” cramps are. Had to tread water using only my arms.
