Uh, wrong. It takes 7 years of college education to obtain a DPT degree. They may not be medical doctors but they are highly trained on injuries and recovery. If anything they are more involved with patient recovery than MDs after the initial diagnosis.

Either this is BS or they should have shut him down when they went into tank mode. You don’t keep trotting a LeBron out there when it’s not in his or your own best interests.
If this isn’t BS it just makes the Lakers look even worse management wise.

I think people like to forget the Lakers were a 4th seed before Lebron got injured.

Weren't they 2 games away from 8th then?

GTFO.

I don’t think you know what a physical therapist is then. Perhaps you should try again. Or maybe go see an optometrist yourself prior to googling “Physical Therapist” so that you can come back and spew factual garbage instead of pure garbage.

So seeds are less telling if there are a lesser amount of games between one and the next sequentially lower seed? If so, please lay out the acceptable amount of games needed between each seed for that seed to be considered legit.

You nerds will do anything to push your agenda against LeBron, wow.

I’m not sure how smiling w/ his head on the shoulder of a PT is going to make those groups of people feel better???

I didn’t watch the show, but I read/heard that they were putting down people who work 9-5 jobs again - similar to the line of thought w/ his 2011 finals loss presser. Believe it was the episode w/ Antonio Brown.

Or were there other groups of people that they offended as well? You know, outside of everyone who has a job.

So if he was apparently so injured why was he out there playing the most minutes in a meaningless all star game?
Sounds like revisionist history PR to me...

I mean if they were the 4 seed, they were also tied for 6th. And 1.5 up on 8.

https://www.basketball-reference.com/friv/standings.fcgi?month=12&day=25&year=2018&lg_id=NBA

So really saying they're 4th after the easier portion of the schedule is a bit misleading.

As for the PT thing, I could believe it. Could be false as well. Guys try to play through stuff, it sucks but they do.

LeBron's PR and propanda should be in the GOAT discussion.

Its a can of worms much better kept closed. I'll leave it at that.

I will say though good on him, must have a great PR team

Are PTs able to make medical diagnoses?

About as miraculous as recovering your athleticism after it starts fading in your 30's when the NBA announces HGH testing and you take a random midseason trip to Miami.
