Lebron James; what a fighter

This is why I don't respect the Miami Heat and hate the NBA altogether. The amount of acting that takes place on the court would make a soccer player blush.

I'm not a big fan of Lebron's, but anybody that has ever had severe cramps in their leg will tell you that it is VERY painful and doesn't just go away with a few sips of water.

The guy hit a CLUTCH 3 pointer when the game was tied, what more do people want from him? Will he ever be able to redeem himself? I'm not so sure what he needs to redeem really. He's proven to be a great player and always talks about how it's his TEAM that matters and they need to work as a team to win.

Other than "The Decision" I'm not sure where all the hate comes from. Yeah, the "Big 3" were a little obnoxious at first about winning championships, but right now they are backing it up in only their 2nd year together.

Are you actually serious? You don't respect the Heat because LBJ had leg cramps? Can you actually hate a person that much? The man had a freakin' leg cramp. Anyone that has ever done anything other than sit on the couch can attest to the pain involved. Ever wake up in the middle of the night with a charlie horse after running a few miles earlier that day? Wonder if you say it's just my PMS acting up and go back to sleep...or if you wake up and want to jump out the window the pain hurts so bad? I have had leg cramps and any athelete (track, football, baseball, soccer) will clearly know what he felt. Dehydration is most likely the culprit, but to start disrespecting him for it is a bit weird.

Take everything I saw about Lebron and the Heat with a grain of salt. Remember that I am a Celtics fan and that we were beaten in the playoffs. I just liked the comparison made in the article to Jordan when he played with the flu, I thought it was funny.

Leg Cramps are terrible.

That being said, they are easily avoidable if you take proper care of yourself. One would think an NBA super-star at the end of the season would be more careful. That being said, a lot of athletes will get an injury (cramp, sprain, break, etc) and try to keep playing and then decide they can't keep playing. Not the case here as it was just an intense leg cramp, but that does explain a lot of the weird 'random' injuries players get.

I had horrible calf cramps for half a season of soccer when I was about 16, but I figured out that I wasn't treating my body right - staying hydrated, eating a banana, etc and stretching more often than just before games took care of it. I've never had the problem since. A pro athlete should no better. I am glad he is OK; it will make it that much sweeter when we run these last 3 games for a comeback championship.

The link was pretty funny BTW.

I'm glad someone was able to see the sarcasm in this article! People must literally think I am the worst person on Earth if they interpret this literally!

I liked what you said I don't hate Lebron I respect him a lot but I just don't like his attitude. Take last year for instant how are are you gonna make fun of someone who has a cold *couch* *couch* dirk nowitzki. I believe that was imature and unprofessional of an athlete. I know this is off topic but when you said those words it got me thinking of Mike Vick I know that he did bad but he doesn't get his respect he deserves or redemption. I'm guessing winning a ring all the haters will keep quiet. I'm not taking sides I'm Philly all day so I can't talk much lol. I'm happy the 76ers beat Da Bulls. Hated when we lost to Boston sorry Ryan lol but I wanted Boston to win it all but now I'm rooting for OKC. I like the underdogs and I will always choose underdogs any day of the week.

These internets make the sarcasm hard to see, especially with people skimming it and not reading the article lol

You squeeked by these last two home games, I don't think the heat can finish a third. We see the weakness - now we pounce on it. Should be a really exciting game 5. You better hope there isn't a 6, because if there is there will be a 7.

He's sponsered by another company...power aid I think not, gaterade, lol. LBJ haterade is over he got his ring and he matured. Arrogance was the issue with most, since last season he humbled himself and admitted his mistakes.

I had nowhere else to say it...so I'll just leave this here:

Ray Allen, leaves the Celtics and will now take his outside shooting ability to South Beach! That's right, if you CAN'T beat 'em-- join 'em. GO HEAT!!!

Oh yeah...and the Yankees beat the Redsox.....oh what a good day!

That is all.

And I wish Ray the best of luck in Miami. I will miss him in Celtic green. As far as the Red sox go I'm not sure what to think.
