NBA sucks, but I'm watching it right now, ha. Lebron had to be carried off with cramps. Apparently San Antonio's AC is broken in their arena so it is 100 degrees on the court. Players cramping up and stuff. CrazyQuote:

Lebron showed his true colors in this game, and it's why he shouldn't be compared to the greatest of all time, MJ. MJ would have been out there no matter how hot it was or how bad he was cramping. Tim Duncan and all them seemed to be fine and playing just fine in that heat.
I would've called you stupid if this was yesterday and defended Lebron to the end. But I have NEVER seen anything like that in any sport of any level. He just quit and watched his team lose. I am so flabbergasted right now.Quote:

You guys obviously have no clue what its like to have cramps like that. There is no "don't be a pus, just play through the pain". Its not just pain, your legs literally shut down. Its ok if you don't like LeBron, but don't say he's a pus or not tough, etc.. Makes people sound stupid to rush to judgement when you have no idea what you're talking about.Quote:

I've heard Pat Riley and Magic talk about how it would be 120 degrees or higher in Boston Garden.
For those that think this is fishy, give it a rest. Everyone played in the same conditions. It's not like anyone had an unfair advantage.
I'm not saying Lebron isn't good, I'm just saying when things get tough he tends to shut down where as the legends have always shined in the tough times. Yes cramps are tough and all that, but if you can stand while cramping you can hobble your ass off the court, being carried off was just too much. The cramping factor came into play with over 7 mins left in the 4th, and while Lebron knew he was in cramp mode I did not see him trying to get re-hydrated by drinking something or ask for an IV to possibly get back in maybe the final 2 mins of the game. I saw "the current best player in the nba" basically sit down with 7 mins left and have the look of "I'm done for the night" (Yes I know Lebron came back in, but then he quickly exited again). I can't recall any of the greats like MJ, Bird, Magic, etc. sit down especially in the Finals and basically call it quits that early when the game was on the line. And like I said I'm not dissing cramps, they are very painful and hurt like hell, but if you know you are prone to getting them as Lebron is shouldn't he know he needs to constantly well hydrate himself throughout the game? Hell get an IV every halftime if needed. If he didn't do that last night, then that's on him.
That's because basketball sucks. Although I do hope the Spurs win. Team over collection of talent.
Wow, a subject myself, Cadaver and WMD all agree on. NBA (and basketball in general) sucks.
