Regardless of his pregame prep, I can’t help but think that taking extra hydration during the first half, halftime, and the third quarter would have helped. The temperature didn’t skyrocket unexpectedly in the fourth quarter after all.
Maybe you're a wuss with a low threshold for pain.
You haven’t had a real one either. Obviously
A swimmers “cramp”? LOL
You set the standard for us all. Obviously.
A cramp is a cramp you mope
I played your game and never had cramps. Cramps are heat induced manifested by dehydration. Being in a pool certainly wasn't heat related........
I don't care what you say, cramping will occur despite any and all precautions you may take.
Some people drink enormous amounts of water, some don't......I'm one of them.
Right. It’s just hard to play catch up.
> I don’t care what you say,
Criminy - I didn’t say anything about why cramps occur, whether they occur to other people, whether they occur to other people in pools, if it had anything to do with drinking water, whether or not I care if somebody believes me that I’d ever gotten cramps playing a sporting event... whatever.
I just noted that LeBron was girly boy for letting his cramps take him out that period (yeah, I used the word “cramps” in conjunction with the word period).
As a example of how a man competes, when Michael Jordan was almost prostrated from flu in a championship game he didn’t let that minor issue stop him from winning the game.
With that said, I’m out of this discussion. ;-)
I woke up screaming with cramps in my right calf last night. These people who have never had legs cramps have no idea how horrible it is, they may find out down the road.
LeBron gets them because he doesn’t hydrate properly from what I read, apparently this happens often to him.
