I'm not a basketball fan but I remember Steve Nash playing through broken noses, eyes swollen shut, ect.
Oh no doubt...typically the wimps don't last in hockey though.


Ben Hogan played after a car crash that almost killed him, Willie Pep fought after a plane crash that almost killed him, Tiger Woods played on 1 leg, Michael Jordan had "the flu game", Kellen Winslow had "The Epic in Miami", Willis Reed was a tough SOB.


I just want our forum members to appreciate the gutsy performances of athletes and cherish them because that shit with Lebron was ridiculous. I was taught that in sports you get carried off the field for 2 reasons and 2 reasons only #1 You win a huge game or you break some record or something and #2 You are physically unable to walk....anything other than that is disrespectful to the fans and the players.

LeBron is a great athlete but for shits sake....man up and WALK OFF THE COURT! Kobe Bryant tore his Achilles but he took 2 free throws and then walked off the court....THAT IS TOUGH!!!
