Excuses Detected - LeBron's Elbow 'Way Worse' Than Reported?

As you can see from the link, he was diagnosed with a strained elbow and bone bruises-diagnosed meaning he was checked by real doctors. Doctors can get their license revoked from making fake diagnoses, and I doubt a doctor will go out of the way just to give him an excuse.

As for the injury, the article also said that Lebron's elbow has been bothering him for a month prior to the game, so its not like he suddenly woke up and felt pain right before game 2 started. As for it didn't hurt in game 1 but hurt in game 2, I'm not Lebron so I can't answer it. My guess is maybe he aggravated it in game 1 so in game 2 it really hurt a lot, then it healed a bit during the 3 day rest they had before game 3.

Finally I would like to point out that his game 2 wasn't crappy at all, he had 24 pts that game. Despite how much he winced on court it didn't really affect his game much, he had 15 fts that game. Obviously although his elbow was hurting it didn't hurt that much, which is probably he kept saying his elbow was a non-issue and wasn't an excuse. The only ones who keep on bringing this up were warmshizzle and his boyz.

 

the elbow thing started in the last game against bulls, when he (after shooting one free throw normally) he shoot the 2nd free throw with his left arm, then after game 5 against bulls and before game 1 against celtics, he barely practiced and rested the elbow.
