That's a serious stretch. It comes down to Lebron being a big baby on the court despite his size and power. I don't know how many times I've seen him go flying and he shouldn't have. But all of his "fans" will come out to defend him. His fans come out to defend him because he is attacked daily in a largely irrational matter.

Leg cramps aren't something to scoff at guys. I had a leg cramp before and I honestly hope I never have another one. My entire right leg locked up below the knee. My entire calf became this solid mass of muscle. And yes I was crying like a little bitch while it was going on. That shit hurts like a motherf***er.

And the vast majority of people who are poking fun at him have no idea how debilitating a leg cramp is, especially for a guy as muscular as Lebron James. Anything to hate on Lebron though, no matter how stupid and/or ignorant it makes them look. I guarantee you that Lebron could get shot in the leg in the middle of the game and some dumbass would say "Jordan would've played if that happened to him!" "A guy as muscular as LeBron James." You know, ever since LeBron tapped out of Thursday's game, I've been reading all about how LeBron is this peak physical specimen. But the more I think about it, the more I believe that he's kind of like a pro wrestler who is built like a bodybuilder. Sure, he's muscular, but those are glamour muscles. There's no real strength behind them. There's no real physical fitness behind them. At the very least, it would help explain why he has had to beg out of two Finals games in the last three years because of cramps. It would also explain why even a glancing blow from Tyson Chandler, Kirk Hinrich or Nazr Mohammed sends him spilling to the floor like he just got hit by a cannonball. Because he's not actually strong, he just has the muscles that make him look it.

There's no real strength behind them. There's no real physical fitness behind them. Nah, he lacks the massive, ungodly delts and upper traps of a bodybuilder. And while it's possible that he doesn't workout some of the unseen stabilizers, it's not like there are these secret invisible leg muscles that'd cause cramps if they're not toned. Most of the "Glamour muscles" are the primary workers (namely biceps, triceps, calves, hamstrings, core, and quadriceps) of the muscloskeletal system. The problem with building them comes if you don't balance them out (only working chest and never back, or doing other things that create an imbalance). If that were happening, we'd probably be seeing worse than the occasional muscle cramp out of him. A cramp can be caused by a variety of factors, including dehydration, low blood minerals, or genetic factors. While it's possible that he got it for running up and down the court, considering he does that 70 or so times a year and these cramps aren't a frequent occurrence, it'd make more sense to me that he either didn't eat well or the cramps occurred to protect his body from injury.

Oh lord. Here we go.
Maybe he just didn't have enough potassium in his system? It happens. Who cares?

There's got to be more to it, either he's a pussy or it was drugs. The other players were out there, and as we all know the human body is the same for everyone. Duncan didn't cramp up, so LeBron shouldn't have cramped up to the point he has to be carried off. There's no way it was a freak occurrence, and LeBron and LeBron's body knows better than us what LeBron's body can take before he tears something.

That needs to be the go-to reason for anything sports related from now on. "Why did they trade him?" "Because he was either a pussy or on drugs." But seriously. I agree that the hate on LeBron is a bit ridiculous. I'm not a fan of the guy(mainly because he's not playing for my team), but a muscle cramp can be a very debilitating issue. They hurt like hell.

Um.....yes it certainly can be something as simple as that. When my leg cramped it freaking randomly happened! I didn't do any major activity, I ate like normal and I was inside chilling all day when suddenly, boom, leg cramp. The truth is we still don't know everything about muscle cramps.

See, here's the problem, after seeing damn near everyone finding some reason to bag on LeBron for his cramp I've stopped being able to see who is being sarcastic and who is being serious.

See, here's the problem, after seeing damn near everyone finding some reason to bag on LeBron for his cramp I've stopped being able to see who is being sarcastic and who is being serious. I was being sarcastic. I'm a LeBron fan, no way in hell am I going to doubt that he was in extreme pain, and couldn't finish the game. It's the NBA Finals, LeBron's not coming out of the game late, unless he physically can't play anymore. I know about freak occurrences, at work I picked up something that was at most 15-20 pounds, the problem was I picked it up wrong, and my lower back hurt for a few days. I still came to work, but my job doesn't require the physical exertion that LeBron's did, and I know I wasn't in as much pain as LeBron was. And for LeBron and the Heat, it's probably a good thing he came out. You don't want to run the risk of it turning into an RGIII situation. RGIII's body was telling him not to play, but he still played against the Seahawks in the playoffs, and well, we all saw how that turned out for him this season. Let's say LeBron plays, they win game 1, but he screws something up and is out for the series. That means he ignored his body to win game 1, and it cost him and the Heat the entire series.

It's a 7 game series. I think we can spot LeBron not finishing Game 1.

Lamar Odom has been working out in Los Angeles but he's expected to join the Knicks at their practice facility by the end of June.
The Nuggets have been actively shopping their No. 11 pick in the 2014 draft, looking to either deal the pick for a veteran, or move up the board in the draft.

They'll still bag on him for something else anyway. I think he'll score 40+ because you don't under any circumstances poke the bear.
