Sounds good on paper. But, am guessing you've never had serious cramps before.

Still, serious cramps is pussy shit compared to a broken jaw. I doubt any NBA player would even attempt to play a game with a broken jaw... shit, I doubt 50% of them would play with tooth pain.

If your leg locks up, you can't move. You can run, jump, skate, whatever with a broken jaw. On top of that, adrenaline is likely to carry you through the pain. Cramp isn't an issue of just toughening up and fighting through the pain. You can't move the muscle.

Did his broken jaw keep him from moving his legs? Did Lebron's cramps keep him from moving his jaw? If Lebron was able to chew when he had cramps, that must mean Stepan is a pussy if he couldn't eat a steak with a broken jaw. Does any of this make sense?

Menstrual cramps are THE WORST.

Although I didn't check out the videos, a hairline fracture is considered a break.

A friend of mine had a hairline fracture in their jaw for a week before knowing it was broken.

Of course, he was stubborn and just thought it was a bad bruise.

Ended up having to go in for surgery and have some of his jaw removed. However that had nothing to do with the hairline fracture, and had everything to do with his chewing terbaccy habit.

Shouldn't you be comparing nhl players to rugby players, mma fighters or nfl players? Instead of nba players

Find me a hockey player who played when they got serious leg cramps . . . it a muscle response thing, not a pain tolerance thing.

why are you responding with logic?

The key to responding to nonsense, is to counter it with more nonsense.

I think Lebron is a poop shit, who cares about Lebron. Lebron, lebron, lebron....whatever.

Not only am I responding with logic, now reading through the thread i can see point already made.

Love this board, don't have time to read through it all, so i jump in and and make posts like that.

But I like your philosophy and can be really good at adding to a thread with more nonsense as evidenced with many of my posts.

A broken jaw doesn't stop your legs from moving. Stupid thread.

Went to work on cars for a week with a blocked gall bladder. Then spent a week in the hospital and had surgery. Guys who skate around are tough though. And basketball players but they aren't as tough as those N......Holy shit I typed NHL on my phone and it corrected it to NFL. Even Samsung says the NHL isn't anything. Haha

Ever have your calf muscle cramp up while you're sleeping? My does that every once in a while. It actually happened 3 nights ago. Hurts like hell, you can't move, you're just locked in pain. Feels like your calf is going to tear.

Yep. (Or was that a rhetorical question? )

If he can't move he can't move. He's a liability.

Nope, was a serious question. My calf is still sore from when it happened. Freaked the shit out of the gf , lol.

LeBron is second only to Kobe the anal-rapist when it comes to being a drama queen and playing up some insignificant "injury" any time it looks like he's coming up short on the court. Pathetic.

Yes, while sleeping. It lasts about 30 seconds then goes away.

In 5 decades of watching sports I've never seen anyone cramp up and leave a game.

Broken jaws aren't the same as leg cramps in just about every way. However, there have been multiple incidents of NHL players playing on broken legs, ankles, etc. There was a great article a few days ago showing NH players mocking him for his cramps. Pretty funny

Kevin McHale is an example of a player playing on broken ankles (or maybe it was just one).

Anyone who is arguing he should have played really has not had serious muscle cramps. The pain is only a small part of it. The inability to expand the muscle is the biggest part. Not to mention the risk of completely ripping a cramped muscle and taking a year to recover. I can't believe people even question this.

This is the answer, end of discussion.

Then again, hockey players are only the ice for a minute or so at a time, with the very best defenders coming close to 50% ice time. I've always wondered why hockey players can't play more than they do. Is it conditioning?

Lebron should be mocked for endorsing Powerade and then cramping up, but not for the actual cramps. There is no way to play on leg cramps, let alone walk normally.
