TOO HURT, OR NOT TOO HURT?

That is the question. But who’s question? Should it matter? This is what makes legends. We’ve seen injured stars in the playoffs before, but it’s how they overcome it that solidifies their legacies.
 Jordan playing w/the flu, Pierce being carted off in a wheelchair, Willis Reed’s injured knee, Kobe playing with a broken finger, etc. Can Lebron etch his name & more importantly his legacy along with those great iconic moments in sports? So far, it doesn’t look like he will. He’s tentativeness in Game 2 of the Cavs/Celtics series made him look, dare I say, human. Never has this happened to the greats of greats, in actuality that’s when they separate themselves from the mortal & show their God-like abilities that take over games.
Lebron was diagnosed with a strain & bruise in his right elbow, so he used the 3-day layover to recover. He tested the elbow during practice on Thursday before the team took off to Boston. Lebron states he feels great & will be closer to 100% than he’s been since his injury occurred in the first series against the Bulls. It’s safe to say that it’s too early to hit the panic button on the Cavs since they led the league in road wins this season. They’re coming into Game 3 with a focused & confident demeanor. After all, I would too, knowing I have #23 ready to go.
