Love how all these haters try to meme LeBron for his hand in the finals then go awfully quiet when you provide the photographic evidence. Let's see what mental gymnastics these people will go through in order to deny its existence shall we.

People really just can't accept the fact that he hides injuries and discloses it once it's over. Imagine being that determined to hate one player lol.

But but photoshop.

If Lebron had said his hand was injured after game 1 he would have been blasted for making an excuse for the rest of the series. So when he does it after the series oh but he is using it as an excuse still and now his soft for breaking it.

But when Kobe plays through a broken finger (which many people I know have done) he is a God damn hero.

MD literally means "medical doctor"... You're either a medical doctor, or you are not... Wow...


A Medical Doctor is a person with a doctorate in the field of Medicine. That could include an MD, DPT, DVM.....

:lol: :lol:

This is... not accurate.

As for the OP, surprised something like this didn't come out sooner about all the adversity LeBron is going through.

Sorry but this is BS.
If it had really needed 6 months, then it was a complete tendon tear and will STILL require surgery to heal properly.
3 to 4 months max with a muscle tear.

Anyway, if the lebron still has competitiveness in him, he'll work on his game during the off season and come back even better
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Injuries are apart of the game and as you get older they become harder to recover from.

Hipaa Law people, this came out for a reason.

LeBron is the King of Excuses, this came out to the public for 1 reason. To put a spin on him failing this season.

LeBron been bashed a ton of late and this is the perfect spin on why he failed in his first season with the Lakers.

Yes he was injured and playing hurt, but what NBA player is not? (at this point of the season)

I think people like to forget the Lakers were a 4th seed before Lebron got injured.
How could we forget? It's only been mentioned a million times. Wasnt that in like November?

Poor Lebron sacrifices himself for Lakers playoff... wait a minute? It needs 2 full years to recover! Everyone knows groin bruises 1000% worse than achilles tendon ruptures!

But what happened to the narrative that he doesn't try / coasts during the regular season?

How can he stat-pad while not trying???

Like most of injuries. It takes double or triple the time to feel same. However on most cases you can do sports far quicker, so this is not really very important point.

Yes.

They are doctors, in physical therapy. And quite often, in fact, on a daily basis, diagnosis patients based on their exams and procedures.

This original guy is referring to a physical therapy assistant who often times is able to chose which movements/exercises will be done given a physical therapist’s diagnosis.

They're not medical doctors, I thought it was so obvious. They are doctors in the same way Doctors of Philosophy are. In practice, they can make diagnoses. But it doesn't mean that they should.

Is this real life? Lets dumb this down for you. Their job is to quite literally diagnose an injury referred to them from an MD, and treat it.

So figure out who basically ordered her to put that out there.

The public already knew he had a groin injury. It's nothing new.

I highly doubt players have to give the ok to the team doctor (or whomever) in order to go public with how long he's going to be out with an injury.

It’s impossible to come back 5 months early from a 6 month injury without the use of peds...

That’s like coming back from a torn acl or torn Achilles in 6 weeks

Physical therapists play an important role in the rehabilitation of patients in medicine. But the truth is that, even a doctrate degree in PT doesn't make you a physician. They can speculate a condition but can't make a working diagnosis because they aren't licensed to order labs or imaging to rule in or rule out a diagnosis.

Second, this is clearly a PR move. The timing of releasing this news well coincides with the timing of LAL's elimination. Plus, this lady will be violating HIPAA without the athlete allowing the disclosure of personal medical information to the public. So, nice try LeBron.

I mean, the proof will be next season. Of he's a better basketball player next season then this is true, if he's worse then it's probably not.
