Lebron hammered

[Sketch5]

They just showed it in full, and the contact came before the shot when LeBron Swiped away Ibaka's arm away causing it to hit him in the nose.

I think they should change the logo to LeBron. he's soooo awesome!!!

Pierce broke off both of his front teeth and appeared woozy as he was helped off the court.
 
“He just got hammered,” O’Brien said.
 
The Celtics led by five at the time, and they led by a point when Pierce returned to the court with 2:47 to go in the quarter.
 
He received a numbing injection in his mouth and wore a mouth guard. His nose, which was cut in the fall, was bandaged. That got the crowd of 13,049 into the game.

From the look at it at real time speed, it didnt seem like a very hard hit. I would not blame anyone who said LeBron was flopping yet again.

But blood gushing out of the nose is pretty darning evidence he got hit. Now it's two things to me, Ibaka's hit was harder than everyone thought, or LBJ's nose is just soft.

Thought this had to do with alcohol.

TP for the laugh.

Where I thought this was going:

LBJ's nose is just soft.

That's what I believe.

Larry Bird would have taken the hit, gotten right back up, torn a piece of his sock off and stuffed it up his nose, and drilled a three pointer in Ibaka's face next time down.

His nose was in the way of Ibaka's arm.

To be quite honest, it's really clear on the replay from behind.

The travel too.

Tp for the smile this brought
But it's probably pretty true

Why is Ibaka guarding Lebron in the open court?  No wonder Oklahoma City got crushed by the Heat.  Yet another ridiculous coaching decision from the inferior coaching of Scott Brooks.

Yep, guys like Bird or Isiah Thomas wouldn't have put on a show like that. I'm sure it hurt but he's putting on a good act just because of a little blood. I was in an accident that knocked out 10 teeth on time and I got up and didn't roll around like that for so long.

[Banner18now!]

I seen Larry get hit much harder by Laimbeer and get right up. For a big guy Lebron has to be the biggest wuss rolling around like he got shot.

[Kiorrik]

Can't fault the guy. Knocked on the nose aint no fun.

Can't fault the guy. Knocked on the nose aint no fun.

That is my thought exactly.  Getting hit on the nose, especially to the point of blood coming out, hurts a ton initially.  The pain generally goes away fairly quickly (unless broken), but initially it hurts bad.

wasn't much of a hit from Ibaka.  Bron probably didn't even have a bloody nose.  most likely cut himself to draw some blood and make a spectacle like the old-time wrestlers.
