Game 1 Postgame.

[Joao Saraiva]

"There is no athlete on the planet who could've played through those cramps. Michael Jordan absolutely couldn't have played through those cramps. I absolutely couldn't have played through those cramps. As an athlete, there's nothing you could do." -- Isiah Thomas

"Cramps are real. We had a guy with full body cramps ask to "call the police." Not the ambulance. The police." -- Chris Long

"@RSherman_25 Remember that cramp you got in your sleep our rookie season…. Told me to call yo momma! Lmao I ain’t forget! " -- Doug Baldwin Jr

"ANY person seriously saying Lebron should have played through full leg cramps bc Jordan played with flu has NEVER been an athlete EVER...." -- Donte' Stallworth

"Whoever is killin Bron for comin out the game has never had severe cramps! You literally cant move..." -- Anthony Tolliver

"Cramps are absolutely the worst to contend with." -- Dominique Wilkins

"Playing thru a flu, and having full body cramps aren't the same. You can't move w/full body cramps." -- Geoff Schwartz

"I played w/a broken toe b4, but couldn't even stand up w/cramps. Lebron's at a disadvantage in heat because of his level of lean muscle mass" -- Marcellus Wiley

Sadly, the very instant he went out with cramps, I KNEW this "Jordan played with the flu," **** narrative would e paraded up and down ESPN for 72 hours if the Heat wound up losing and even so if the Heat won. I've never seen a superstar so disrespected and another superstar so protected.

Jordan got more respect from refs. More respect from the media and had much less haters.

The disrespect and hate towards LeBron is just irrational... Just look at the game thread in game 6 last year. Many guys arround here seem to live to watch LeBron lose. I hope he crushes their dreams once more this season.

[LuxHeat]

With Lebron on the floor 67-67
Without Lebron 48-27

Had a chance to win, bit unfortunate but confident we will still win.

We had 10 more shots though they got to the line more with about the same number.

how does this work?
we didn't lose by 21?

This so, so true. I volunteer working with kids and it's stunning how true your statement is. Tells you about the overall effect of the media, social media included.

This is too true. Not taking anything away from Jordan, one of the greatest to ever play the game, but he was great at the right time and media did what media does. They made him a god, they made him untouchable; and now it doesn't matter how great any player ever gets, they will (probably) never be considered better than him.
