I believe you were the one that started the personal attack, I simply retorted. You and Jay lumped yourself in to the moron crowd by bringing up flopping, which again, doesn't have a damn thing to do with what happened in game one.
Wrong again. Seriously. Try to grasp this first. Me explaining this doesn't mean I support it in this particular instance. If someone has been seen obviously faking as if he were hurt/impacted in a sporting event and had actually built up some notoriety in that regard, do you not think that same someone is likely to get a higher level of suspicion when a vague, injury like cramping occurs?
Let's take a walk in to the football forum, where JayVols explains everything ever about football. Hypocrisy.
Selling a foul and cramping aren't the same thing. I know what you are saying, and if he had left the game because of a phantom elbow or what have you, I'd be right there with you. But cramps are cramps. He wasn't faking it.
How do you know he wasn't faking the severity? You can read his mind? You are telling me a guy that has completely disappeared in playoff series in the past because he was acting like a [itch bay] is incapable of faking the severity of an injury?
I could, quite easily, fake cramps. It would be one of the easier injuries to fake, because you can get it any time, with no readily apparent cause. I don't think he did it, because there would be no benefit to him doing it. As it stands, people are having a lot of fun pretending the guy that irritates them so much by faking is now, in fact, faking.
Aren't you the guy saying LeBron cares about his public image more than anything? If that's the case, why would he purposely lay down in the Finals knowing the kind of backlash he'd receive? It's beyond apparent that he was cramping, suggesting otherwise is ridiculous.
I don't know that anyone has really accused him of actually faking the cramps. What people are mocking is the fact that he had his teammates carry him off the floor.
It's not like he's been singled out though. People mocked Paul Pierce when he got wheeled into the tunnel a few years ago only to run right back onto the court a couple minutes later as if he were fine.
How different are those scenarios? Paul was wheeled in to the locker room and then he returned and he seemed perfectly fine. LeBron didn't return to the game, so it's not like he played up the injury, returned and started hitting daggers. He cramped. He left the game. He didn't return. Sounds as legit as it gets.
