    With the revelation that LeBron played with 'pretty much a broken hand' the last 3 games of the finals I am wondering why he was allowed to play. I was under the impression that team doctors have the final say when it comes to injuries. A broken hand, to me, seems on par or even more serious than a grade 1 hamstring pull. I'm not a doctor but logic tells me that no team doctor who values his/her job would OK a player playing with a broken/fractured bone, seeing as how they are supposed to be 100% objective, not regarding importance of the game.

    Am I simply wrong about the injury process? If so: could CP3 have insisted on playing, at least game 7? If not: does LeBron really have that much pull that he could override a team doctor? Did the doctors just give in to LeBron? Did LeBron completely hide this injury? Or, was it really not 'pretty much broken'?

    prolly cant make a broken hand any worse. Plus NBA needed Lebron to play. If CLE tries to play without him, the viewership drops 200 % . THey probably blackmailed him into playing. Maybe they will make it up letting him come here and not ****ing us.

    Nah it's a lame fake excuse LeBum made up to justify his 2nd half disappearing act last night. No injury report to substantiate him. Also if he did punch a whiteboard he's a bigger buffoon than I thought

    Cp3 played like ass in g3 with his sore achilles, even told mda if he can fix it, they'd win g5.

    That's pretty much that. Cp3 would play his bad hammy like he did game 7 against SA, but 1) only at a high level and 2) with the risk he'd be out even longer the next time the team played...which happened when he sat out two games the next round against us.

    It wasnt broken. It was a contusion (a bruise) - the "Pretty much a broken hand" means that he felt like it hurt as much as if it had been broken. It was a painful bruise. Nothing a doctor would keep him out of a game for.

    whichever doctors are involved in the concussion protocol probably have final say. for normal injuries, a doctor can't just rule a player injured and keep them out of a game if they want to play (although obviously the organization can overrule the player and listen to the doctor).

    Lmao you are a moron. I bet you'd line up to suck his dick if he put on a Rockets uni though.

    As for the hand, it's a bone contusion not a broken hand.

    We all remember how we felt when Jeremy Lin had those awful mistakes in the Portland series. I was surprised LeBron didn't strangle JR and choke the life out of his eyes on the court.
