    According to a report from BallinEurope, the injury to LeBron James' right elbow is "way worse than is generally known" and the Cavs' superstar should not be playing in his current condition.

    "A source close to the Cleveland Cavaliers who wished to remain anonymous has admitted that LeBron James should not playing with his injury in its current state," the report reads. "Apparently, the damage is enough that the right arm of King James ... is having great difficulty in carrying anything heavier than a basketball."

    The report cannot be independently confirmed but the site is an affiliate of ESPN's TrueHoop Network.

    The MRI is negative, he can play. He is not used to playing with the injury, that's the problem.

    It's obviously not bad enough to cause him to wince during the game...

    Omg, that's just terrible! I hope he's gonna be fine. Someone please send him flowers and a box of cookies!

    He's the toughest guy I know playing through all that injury. What a man, that LerBon.

    Ahahaha, what a load of bull.
    If his elbow is really that badly injured, he wouldn't be shooting jumpshots and would only be taking layups and dunk. Not the other way round.

    LeBron, you are soft.

    Layups and dunks also use your elbows genius.

    Pain tolerance is something genetic and you can't do anything about it. Also I find it hilarious how someone like you who's just sitting on a couch somewhere can call other people soft. Yeah, you're a real tough guy calling someone out on teh interwebz.

    Why don't you tell him that to his face and see what happens to you :rolleyes:

    I'm pretty sure LerBon will just ignore him and continue to walk then say something like "sorry I don't do pictures"

    His elbow tweeted about 13 hours ago, "MRI at the clinic. Great. Terrific. Just keep the radiation coming. When my first child is born it's going to have 7 nipples and a mustache."

    It sounds like he is doing just fine but I'm a little worried about his first child.

    What LerBon can do with this pinkie surpasses what everyone of us can do with our bodies.

    We are not paid 20M a year either. I can play with broken arm with that price tag.
