people are too harsh on bron. you can't play through cramps. how can anybody ask bron to play when he can't run? if you can't run, you can't play basketball.
But.... Jordan's flu game doe
You literally can't play through bad cramps. Your muscles lock up and they can't move. You just have to get a trainer to roll them out and hope they don't come back, which they did to Lebron.
The difference is the will to win at all costs. Jordan had something to lose too. It could have developed into pneumonia and taken him out of the series. But he knew they needed the win, so he did what he had to. LeBron doesn't have that. You see it in his occasionally timid play too. Either his BB IQ isn't as high (hesitate to make the right decision), or he just doesn't have the "it" that is necessary to be considered the GOAT.
