Nobody here tuned into the game holding their rosary beads praying for the guy to get injured. Nobody is setting off fireworks for it either.
But hey since it happened, I'll be a cornball and say '**** it'. Has nothing to do with him 'owning' us either. My biggest wish in basketball was to beat this dude at the highest level. Just can't stand the injury luck we have had in the last 15 years compared to these LA dudes. Would love nothing more than to watch Davis' beta ass have to carry that team for two rounds on his own. But the queen will be fine sooner than later.
Without dwade turning rondos arm into a broken tree branch we would have.
That was the year Shaq broke down also I believe. If the big fella had another 3 games in him we would have destroyed those bastards.
LeBron has been blessed by injuries to his opponents since always. Rondo and Shaq that year, D.Rose in Chicago would have been his main threat for years, last year both Jimmy and Bam go down. Dude got unlucky with K.Love and Kyrie that one year but overall his injury luck is remarkable.
Only injuries in my opinion that helped Lebron win a series that he wouldn't have won otherwise was probably to Golden State. Otherwise, Lebron thanks primarily to Lebron had the better team. Even in 2010 vs the Celtics...Celtics were better but Lebron was playing hurt.
Lebron himself has had a great body for avoiding major injuries and probably done a great job taking care of himself.
Other than that, his luck as an NBA player is probably below average if we are being honest. Some of that bad luck, he probably helped create by perhaps pressuring Cleveland to win/be competitive too early. Hard to build via the draft with crappy/mediocre picks.
But he has won championships since after losing to Celtics in 2010, he decided for his legacy he was better off just playing the super team game and acting ruthlessly in his own interests.
It has worked for him and its the real reason why he has won 4 championships.
But in all seriousness, he may have ended up with zero championships if he had stayed with the Cavs. The Cavs would have been too good to bottom out and even with Lebron, Cleveland wasn't really a free agent destination.
