This.

Jordan, Dirk, Kobe...all have one thing in common. They're willing to play through a silly little flu. Oh, yeah...they're champions too.

It just depends on the severity of flu and he already played through two days ago

[Clocian-IGN]

further proving hes scared to face the mamba w/o wade cleaning his 4th quarter mess :pimp:

[Faptastrophe]

He could be healthy enough to play already but the coaching staff won't announce it until they are required to submit their roster 1 hour before the game.
This is a common tactic to try to get a leg up on their opponents.

[inclinerator]

if he doesnt play he's being a *****

Scared? Are you kidding me. Lakers and Kobe play like shit against Lebron and Heat. They're scared shittless. And you as well, obviously.

[brownmamba00]

Bron bron chickening out.

[Meticode]

Only Kobe would risk getting all his teammates sick just to chuck up some more shots in a regular season game.
In this shortened regular season every game is important.

[pegasus]

He had the flu like symptoms two days ago. If that was true, then the worst part of the flu must be over by now. That's not an excuse not to play, especially when you know Wade is already sidelined.

He's gonna play, he's just trying to grab attention as usual.

[White Mamba]

DRAMA KING:roll:

[Kingwillball]

If Lebron dont play either he is REALLY sick or a big p@ssy but also has a built in excuse if he doesn't play well tonight.

[Lebron23]

He's gonna play againts the Lakers. I hope the Heat medical staff give some Vitamin C/Ascorbic Acid, and Campbell Soup to LeBron before the game.

[Tenchi Ryu]

I don't care if you are a Lebron fan....Lebron HAS to play this game....cause he will literally never get a break if he dodges this game.

[Mr. Jabbar]

we all know lebron is gonna play tonight, hes only finding excuses alrdy for an imminent fail against the black mamba

[Lebron23]

Is this opinion or is he really playing

LeBron is still game time decision for Heat, but I believe LeBron won't want to miss this game.

Recent quote from his former Coach Mike Brown.


"I think if he has the flu, if he's a little under the weather. I think he'll play because he's a great player and that's what great players do," Brown said. "When you talk about great players like him, those guys, even when they're sick or a little injured, they find a way to perform at a high level and I don't think it's any different for LeBron, who is a great player. ... The flu, the stomach ache, dizziness, however you want to call it, it doesn't affect great players like it does the average human being. I don't expect anything different from him tonight."

He's had the flu all week. Not like it just appeared before the Laker game.

but with how Kobe is playing out of his mind right now, who can blame Lebron...

It's worked out fine for him the past few years 10-5 against Kobester.

Without James, Bosh and the heat might beat the lakers. There should be more ball movement and everyone is involved. More hustle from everyone too. I would not be surprised if a Wade and James-less heat beat the lakers.

[kkling]

he better have strep or some shit if he's missing the game.

[LA_Showtime]

LeBron don't want no part of the Black Mamba. At least without his home boy D-Wade playing.

[MichaelCheazley]

Just play. And cough all over kobe. So you can both be out. Of course the cough will result in dwade free throws even though hes inactive.

Hmmm, so Lebron in those five extra minutes that he played, he managed to score two more points (one traveling lay-up probably, or a couple of ft's thanks to a ref bail out), snatch two more rebounds out of his bigs' hands, and pass the ball two more times to his teammates with two seconds left on the clock in crunch time. Impressive!:applause:

So basically even with their minutes factored in?


The most annoying matchup was the one in 2006 I think. Worst reffing I've ever seen against a player.

If Lebron is sick he better sit out. If Kobe smells blood he is gonna drop 40!

[100grandman]

Only people that think Lebron should sit are those that want L.A. to get a W. You bitches are scared that he will play.

Yeah, Kobe is the king of built-in excuses. He ALWAYS has a fake injury to have the announcers talk about. ALWAYS.

[bagelred]

He doesn't have the flu. He has a cold.

The flu is VERY serious........you don't play basketball when you have the flu. He just has a bad cold....i.e. "flu-like symptons."

Too young, had to share with Shaq, had to deal with rape case, knee injuries, finger injuries, Smush Parker and Chris Mihm, Derek Fisher, Bynum injured, Gasol soft, Artest crazy, Phil Jackson lazy, "didn't have to prove anything again", divorced, media hating on him, refs biased against him, triangle holding him back...

You guys are acting like Lebron played great or something. His game was average. His teammates played great, and he's got a lot of them. Even with Wade sidelined, he's got the best supporting cast, and they win if they all play well.

We have yet to see Lebron carrying his teammates in a single game, despite his inflated stats. Bosh, Chalmers, Haslem, now Miller and Battier... They are all having fantastic seasons. Even the rookie is not bad, and Anthony has improved.

I don't blame you guys for enjoying this victory. After all, there won't be much to celebrate in the playoffs, as usual. Lebron will find a way to choke. Or actually I may put my money on Wade sabotaging the team this year, just like Lebron did last year when he realized Wade was gonna get the FMVP.:lol
