p.s. they lost the game, partly because jordan came back in and was aching from cramps and stockton stole the ball from him.MJ was forced to sit on the sideline for part of Game 4 of the 1997 NBA Finals-the game before the famous "Flu Game"-because of stomach cramps
Nice selective fucking quoting there.I believe jordan came out of a finals game once because he had cramps.

didn't read the whole thing did ya?He came back in and finished the game with the cramps. He was only about for about a minute of game time
Now, we know exactly what you're going to say after reading that excerpt: "MJ CAME BACK AND ACTUALLY PLAYED IN THE GAME DESPITE THE CRAMPS!" But it is worth noting that it was MJ's stomach and not his legs that were bothering him. And if his legs had been the problem, those two paragraphs above prove that he, too, probably would have been forced to sit out and miss the end of an NBA Finals game.
Me thinks my comment went way over your head.
What about that quote had anything to do with what I said?didn't read the whole thing did ya?
It sounds like they were all suffering because of it. This is also a completely different situation. Jordan's cramping was the kind you'd get if you ate a huge meal and then decided to immediately go for a run.So the trainer gave him different stuff than the rest of the team?
Not just immense pain. Trying to play through muscle cramps can lead to a tearing of the muscle.It sounds like they were all suffering because of it. This is also a completely different situation. Jordan's cramping was the kind you'd get if you ate a huge meal and then decided to immediately go for a run.
Lebron's cramping from an electrolyte issue would mean him trying to play through out would have almost certainly hurt his team as he wobbled around in intense pain. I imagine if he at least made an effort to get into the play he wouldn't have got nearly the shit for it that he did. It would just be the Lebron haters that will attack him regardless.
