True...but the elbow thing doesn't fly as in, you don't believe him or it shouldn't affect his game?

Kobe and Lebron are both playing with sorted ailments (as just about any pro athlete)...in Kobe's case his most bothersome current ailment, i believe is the index finger on his shooting hand, any shooter can adjust their shot if there's an injury to their shooting hand/finger. Now an elbow injury, if ligament related, no shooter can adjust their shot unless they're comfortably ambidextrous.

Rootin' for 'Bron though...more interested in seeing Lakers vs Cavs finals. The puppet ads would be insane

MANNNNNNN. The entire nba playoffs have let me down. I have been looking forward to these games all damn year and have only seen a handful of good games. I have been praying for a finals between Lebron and Kobe and I'm not even remotely religious Kobe is a warrior. Lebron will find a way to win in Beantown. Either way Orlando will be playing LA in the finals.

Right...he only has the pressure of fulfilling his $16m annual salary, $90m shoe deal, that elusive first ring...oh and let's not forget the fans.

I thought they did all the looking they could do and found nothing...

If one considers a sprain/bone bruise nothing, then sure, i guess. But flare ups happen often when you play at that intense consistency...sometimes worse than others.

If he has that then sure it's a factor. But according to what he said they
found nothing. Is that a recent development?

I assume they found "nothing" that would put him on the injured list or keep him from playing. IMO he's still young enough to play through what would bench some players...but at the consistent level he plays, i can't say i'm surprised at all with his recent performance (or lack of).

Don't you all remember what happened last year when Orlando won? LeBron would not even shake the Os hands. And now he hear b'ooooos and he can't take it...hmmmm. Do you think that NY will give him a pass when he jump ship? NYC will eat him alive...

Playing hurt - have you seen Nash playing with one eye closed up? Now that's an MVP player and Kobe is always playing hurt. They should give MVPs after the playoff...LeBron an MVP...NO freakin' WAY!

You gotta be kiddin'...we obviously watched different Lebron's this ENTIRE season. I think it's completely unfair to pass that judgement based on this incident...
