Lol at the clueless neckbeards calling Lebron a pussy for not playing thru cramps

[miaheatfan]

Are you saying you have?

Definitely higher than the guys talking about playing volleyball in HS gym class. I played basketball back in high school and I had the athleticism but not the skills to play guard at the college level. I played intramural (pretty competitive not YMCA garbage) throughout college and I played against division 1 players (e.g. Eric Maynor) all the time. I've seen well conditioned athletes get debilitating leg cramps on several occasions and continuing to play only exacerbated them.

injuries are injuries.

Except a cramp is hardly an injury...

[gswarrior510]

his fault for taking steroids. Nobody else had any issues. I havent even heard of anybody getting a cramp in NBA besides lebron.

it's an injury that will take you off the court at any given moment. quit acting like a tough guy. none of your heroes wouldve stayed out there on the court during severe cramping.


"There is no athlete on the planet who could've played through those cramps," Thomas told Yahoo Sports. "Michael Jordan absolutely couldn't have played through those cramps. I absolutely couldn't have played through those cramps. As an athlete, there's nothing you could do."

Lol@ Tennis players playing 3-4 hour games in 100 degree heat (in direct sunlight) but Lebron gets cramps when there is no AC. Pretty sure he was the only one with the "cramp" issue as well.

This.

And catchers squating for 3 hours in 110 degree heat in Arlington.

Jordan played through a flu. LeBeta cant even play without air conditioning. PUSSY

theres been nfl players who have played with broken arms, legs, and recently severed fingers.

[tsbalr120]

Hockey player dies on the bench, wants to go back in.

Lebron gets cramps and lets a finals game go down the toilet.

Fukkin LOL

Yea, but this was a SEVERE cramp!

[Thai_Clinch]

but you can be mobile and be effective with a severed finger or broke arm, even a broken leg. you cannot be mobile when your calf muscles go into cramping. thats why everyone that cramps, comes off the field. once muscles and tendons become involved, your motions become almost completely ****ed.

just in case you dont know what serious cramping looks like


sure, it's not an injury that will keep you out for weeks. but when it happens, you cant do anything until it subsides. could be 3 minutes, could be 20 minutes.

i have played sports with broken wrists/hands. i have also played through cramps, numb toes etc you name it.
still not as painful as a hammy cramp. no thanks jeff. felt it all before. cramps can get really painful.

[bballaman369]

People acting like LeCramp was the only one playing in the heat. Everyone else was out there in the same heat.

This is the part I don't think people understand. Your muscle involuntarily contracts during a cramp. A lot of times it's literally impossible for you to move the muscle until the cramp goes away. This isn't the same as straining your ankle and continuing to play on it if you can tolerate the pain.

you know not everyone is wired the same correct ? some people cramp up easier than others. some *******s in this thread have never cramped up, some have. it takes its toll on certain people.

[heelhavoc12]

Ooo lawd the amount of people who have never played sports in this thread is high. He shouldn't have gotten cramps, but once they happen you can't really move till they go away. I remember one time I had a baseball tournement in the summer, played 2 or 3 games. Once I got home I caught a cramp trying to get out of the car, and I just had to lay there until it went away lol

so everyone should just cramp up at the same time if one person does?
are you retarded?

[MCrow]

I wrestled with broken ribs, a broken nose, a broken hand but cramps were the end game for me. I'd get them in my calves sometimes but not normally in a match. I don't blame LeBron for not being able to play with the cramps, none of you ****s here have probably had a bad cramp while playing a sport before.

The only thing you blame him for is not hydrating enough, but when it's that hot it can be tough to do that.

[bballaman369]

I never said everyone should cramp up at the same time. But no one else seemed to have any issues with it. He's supposed to be the best player on the planet and he can't stay hydrated well enough to stay in a finials game? If the training staff knows he has a issue with cramping they should of never let him get to the point where he is cramping up.

[LeonardShelby]

Soccer players get them and stretch it out real quick, get a sip of water, and run/jump around for another 40 minutes non stop.

I was gonna say this but figured I'd get a negative response. In high school whenever we'd get cramps they lay you down and just stretch it out and you come back in 5 minutes.

well not everyone else is packed with muscle, the leading scorer in the game, and doing the most on the floor

don't blame lebron for not hydrating, blame the billion dollar organization who couldn't keep its fukin AC on in the only NBA games that fukin matter

yes, because your high school pick up game is the same thing as the NBA finals and you have the same amount of muscle lebron has

Thats what LeCramp gets for joocing, right to LeBench.

That's the issue I have with Lebron worshipers. It's always someone else's fault. He could go 3-25 from the floor and people would blame the fact that he wore sleeves on his jersey that game or some other bullchit excuse that makes it not lebrons fault

[MCrow]

I think it really depends on the person. When I'd get bad cramps, my calves would lock up and be useless for a good hour afterward even with hydration and stretching. The first 15 minutes or so, I couldn't even move my foot without someone forcing it. Also, you are likely to cramp again if you go back in too soon. There is also a difference between a little skinny soccer player and a 6'8" 260 pound dude.

I do think soccer players are better about keeping hydrated than NBA players are just because NBA players generally are playing in perfect conditions.

what should i fault him for?
scoring the most points?

[dawktwenty]

I'm not a Lebron fan by any means and personally think he's a little bitch.

With that said, any real athlete knows when you get a cramp like that, you just can't go - period. You are locked up.
Now maybe Lebron with his history didn't do enough before the game in preparation of possible cramping, but that is another story.

[bballaman369]

[QUOTE=cashinout;1253820141]

All I'm saying is that it was his fault for cramping up. If 8 guys out there cramped up that game it would be a different story. Once the temp started to go up in the arena he should of been hydrating like crazy. He didn't, that's his fault not anyone else's.

are you really naive enough to think he WASN'T drinking during his rests? honestly....
he was unprepared for an AC-less game, big whoop, spurs are in trouble if last night was any indication of how they are going to play this series

I'm sure he was drinking but obviously not enough. I agree this will be a short series if the spurs don't step their game up.

the main problem was that your muscles don't just instantly hydrate as soon as you take a sip of water

it takes time to hydrate your muscles, and if you are playing an NBA level game, it takes even more time because you are constantly dehydrating them all over again
