I don't understand why you're saying this though..
Lebron didn't make excuses, Kobe did..
The rest is irrelevant..Lebron holding his elbow is meaningless, you don't know if he was in pain or not during those moments..you're just pointing out random moments during games..
I never claimed Kobe wasn't in pain, I don't know if he was, I just said that he uses excuses, which is sad, and it's a fact..
His surgery isn't that meaningful to me..athletes have end of season surgeries all the time, athletes go through far worse injuries than Kobe throughout the year, yet he's the only one that makes excuses about it, which is my point..
You said he held his elbow on every play or whatever, using massive hyperbole, which is why I pointed it out..you also have no proof that his elbow wasn't hurting at times during games..it's pretty common to be in pain during basketball games with so much contact..
He made excuses during the Boston series too..my 2nd quote was from the Celtics series..
So you claim that:
-Kobe struggled..
-Then he had his knee treated and dominated..
I'll accept that, but then what about
:
-Kobe struggling during the Finals, well after his knee was "treated"..
-Then making excuses about it once again, just like he did during the OKC series..
Your logic doesn't make any sense..did he re-aggravate his knee at one point?..
The only thing that makes sense is that Kobe struggles vs. the good defenses he went up against, and dominated against the bad defenses..these are facts, once again..
This is so irrelevant to the argument..
I'm not comparing Kobe's injury to Lebron's injury, you're the one that brought Lebron's elbow up..I only even mentioned them together in response to you bringing it up..
My point is that Kobe makes excuses for his injuries, which I've proven with facts..I don't know why you're bringing up everything else, it's irrelevant to this argument..
I'm using facts that I've already backed up for my argument that Kobe makes excuses, while you're bringing up these random videos of Lebron holding his elbow, even though it has nothing to do with Kobe making excuses(which was my original argument), and it has nothing to do with Lebron making excuses(which he never did)..
