Yes and a guy that lives in Phoenix would be more conditioned to being in hot temperatures than a guy in Anchorage. I went to do a service call at a house a few years ago in the middle of the summer and when I went in it was stifling hot. Asked the home owner if the a/c was broke as a matter of fact point of conversation. He said no he has it off cause he's a golf instructor and he needs to keep himself used to being hot cause it would be harder on him to go out to teach if was going in and out of air conditioning all the time. That was his idea but the point still remains that a guy from Phoenix or Miami will be more used to being hot than a guy from Alaska. Bad analogy bro.

You've never played in a gym with 20,000+ people before. Living in Miami doesn't have a damn thing to do with playing in an arena that's equivalent to sauna.

They play and practice inside at 72 degrees all over the world. It's about fatigue and exhaustion and not nearly as much about "being used to the heat" as people once believed. Some guys just cramp more easily than others do.

Ps- that guy wasn't trying to stay used to the heat. He was just a cheap bastage.

I live in Phoenix and I can guarantee you I'd have 0 advantage playing in an 89-degree gym. Lebron's not training in the heat.

Besides, the Spurs were playing in the same conditions.

Nobody on the Spurs is as big, muscular, and as active as him. Nobody else on the Heat cramped up either. What exactly are you driving at? Do you think Lebron was capable of playing and wanted out of a pressure situation, or something?

You just like to argue for the hulluva it. Sorry you can't comprehend that every player on both teams were playing in the same conditions so using the lack of air conditioning as an excuse for losing the game is lame as hell. You must've missed the Alaska equation.

Lebron or someone from the Heat used it as an excuse for losing?

I know, I'm sure he never goes outside to take his kids to the beach or anything stupid like that.

Say that would actually prepare him to play in an 88-degree building, I doubt he's had much time to go to the beach since it got hot. Your hatred for Lebron is making you stretch on this one. Maybe I shouldn't assume you dislike him, so correct me if I'm wrong.

Never said it was the reason they lost. I'm just saying that the notion of him living in Miami should have somehow conditioned him to play ball in sauna is absurd.

But recreational play in the ocean prepares you for peak physical performance in the most extreme conditions.

The same thing happened all over Twitter last night. People tried to turn involuntary leg cramps into a character flaw. The best are the ones comparing Lebron exiting a game where he can't physically bend his legs to the night Michael Jordan acted like he was dying on the bench with the "flu".

Was bound to happen.

It's like people don't understand that the worst thing about leg cramps ISN'T the pain. It's the fact that no matter what you do you can't mobilize the muscle.

"LeBron can't play through pain, he's such a puss."

Well no, idiots, the pain has nothing to do with it.

Exactly. You cannot physically move whatever limb is cramping. Which makes you as useful as a manikin.

I sympathize very much with Lebron and I am surprised more didn't. I figured a bad cramp is something more people have experienced. They are ridiculously painful and terrifying.
