Lebron hammered

[guava_wrench]

Sorry but smacking someone in the nose isn't the way you do a hard foul. That is usually just a defender being an uncoordinated spaz.

Yeah, like Ibaka had an amazing accuracy.

[hpantazo]

Apparently, it was Ibaka.

Hit him harder next time so he can't finish.

Ibaka? Nice, someone else needed to pick up Perk's toughness considering Perk is on the border of being out of the league soon.

Steven Adams, their rookie center, is pretty tough too. Doesn't shy away from physical play.

Great! I hope Perk is mentoring him well.

Thought this had to do with alcohol.

Haha me too.

I mean does Ibaka even hit him? In the video it looks like he was barely touched.

Doesn't seem intentional at all, imo. As for the fans, I wouldn't blame them if they thought he was "flopping" again. Reminds of that Aesop fable - The boy who cried Wolf.

How many self-righteous fans do you think were yelling at Lebron when he was laying on the floor, calling him a flopper? Then the blood started gushing.

I think if anything, it helps show us how hard it is to tell a flop from an actual hit, and also how hard it is to be a ref.

For me, watching in real time looks like nothing happened.

Even watching the replays, still looks like nothing really happened.

And then you see the blood gushing.

I think Lebron had some kind of tiny fake blood pouch hidden inside his nostril.  After that dunk over Ibaka, he squeezed it as he went down making it look like little drops of blood were coming from his nose.

Yeah in real time it looked like nothing. Maybe bumped in the eye by Ibaka's hand after the missed contest.

And that is my point. Because Lebron kept going, a naive fan who hates Lebron would have ranted that Lebron was acting when he was on the floor. Sorry, but that was just an example of his determination. The evidence made it clear that he got hit hard.

Yeah, Lebron cut open his own nose WWF style. Perhaps the lesson is that you can't judge that stuff well watching video, let alone watching the game in real time.

TP for the laugh.

He completely went for the ball, and even pulled up, and it doesn't look like that much contact, which I was surprised to see all the blood. So I wouldn't say Ibaka was being an uncoordinated spaz, just a freak accidental hit.

I mean the refs didn't even call a foul, and they call everything that gets with in feet to Lebron.
 

[LooseCannon]

Lebron is going to switch from trying to sell his flops by acting as if he got hit in the eye to pretending he got swatted on the nose.

[Sketch5]

They have it now on ESPN in the marque.  Twice!

LeBron James injures nose in win over Thunder. X-Rays expected....
 
And

LeBrons Bloody Statment....

It's like he's a war hero or something.
