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?

Not sure if you are serious or not, but I have aged both through high school and as an adf. I can tell you that hockey takes way more out of you. 25 minutes a game in hockey is easily as tough or tougher as 40 basketball.

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.

I get 'em in my foot. Frustrating as hell, and if I can't get it to stop by stretching or massage before it fully locks in, it'll be sore for two or three days.

What really sucks is when I suddenly sneeze while I'm frantically trying to contort myself into a position that will relieve the cramp. My Chiropractor thought it was both lucrative and hilarious every time it happened, lol...

Maybe LeBron isn't the guy you want endorsing your products. First Samsung:

Now cramping on power-aid. However, I doubt he drinks that during games. I'm pretty sure the NBA has a deal with Gatorade and everyone drinks the same stuff.

Power-aid and Gatorade are pretty much the same anyway.

To avoid cramping, you need to get hydrated BEFORE the game, not during. Let's say, hypothetically speaking, the Spurs staff made a special effort to make sure all of their players were well hydrated two hours before tipoff? You know, just in case of some 'unforseen' circumstance....?

If you're dehydrated during a game, it's because of what happened in the days leading to the game. Short of an IV, which doesn't always work right away, either.

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

No, but he's had hot flashes.
