I love this article, and it makes me hate Skip Bayless more.

How about you check the tweets and the comments section on the previous article about Lebron's cramping before you use the words "no one"? Gatorade specifically was making an assertion, but plenty of people were suggesting he was a dummy that didn't swish around an "ade" like almost every other athlete.

I get what you mean and I agree with you basically, but coming from anyone else the tweet is so innocuous. He didn't make one of those awful/lame menstrual cramps jokes, he didn't really question his toughness, he just thought the solution to Lebron's cramp was easy and obvious (he was wrong, but it's still a minor…

all of you fucking dumb asses who really think an NBA player isn't using an "ade" on the sideline...lol I hate you all so much right now for the fact that you need photographic fucking evidence.

mmm pussy

I'm not going to scroll through all the comments to star the one that says "Slut Panic" is an awesome name for a punk rock band.

What a steaming, disgusting pile of hot take. Go watch reruns of ESPN classic. And also Kobe didn't threaten to leave his team or anything after a bad Lakers season, and then get Gasol and Phil Jackson (who he alienated previously). Some of Kobe's performance flaws summed up http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/… Also I…

Somebody (you) doesn't get the joke.

Pedialite will help a person recover in less time, but pedialite or whatever combination of fluids and solutes anyone comes up with isn't a cure for leg cramps brought on by exertion. Pedialite won't make a person go from immobilizing leg cramp to NBA ready within minutes. If someone's at the point where every time…

I agree with you on the "qualified" trainer angle. I would expect NBA personnel to approach this in a more skilled manner than a high school team. However, he tried to get back in there after his first cramp immobilized him, and he was clearly struggling before that first time we could see the cramps completely stop…

I'm sure professional basketball players before they begin playing a game in the NBA finals forget to drink enough water before the game. Sharp is what you are. Razor sharp. I don't know about this "water will ease the cramping" business. Water alone won't ease cramping in your extremities. It'll just make you less…

I kinda agree with you, but I also feel bad he can't have a normal, misinformed human response to a situation like this.

I feel like all you "drink more water" people haven't dealt with cramps very much. When you sweat you lose solutes too. Not only do you have less slightly less fluid volume, but the fluids you have are less concentrated. To stop a cramp, one does not simply drink more water.

People simply don't cramp at the same rate. To put it another way, within the around 30 minutes of playing time several people put in, who made the highest number of explosive movements to the basket? I mean that's just rough, but I'm sure Lebron was moving the most mass at the highest speeds out there while he was on…

Jordan would have EASILY fixed the A/C with no hand checking allowed.

lol "even if they had BIG snacks between games"

Also have all these people never had a leg cramp that just wouldn't go away? You can't play basketball when every time you move, your leg stops you from moving. I was/am rooting for the Spurs but all this Lebron hate just makes me want him to win it again.

bring on the hot takes, I was watching with a lady who started psycho-analyzing him on some "I think he's scared to lose so..." She calmed down after I reminded her of the temperature in that arena
