Re: Lebron has more mental toughness than any player in history
I don't know if "mental toughness" is the right characterization, but there is some validity the the OP's point. LeBron has been under the microscope since he was a sophomore in high school. The fact that he has met and perhaps even exceeded expectations is pretty remarkable. I honestly didn't think he would or that it was even possible given the absurd amount of hype.

LeBron just bailed in 2010 to have it easy, and again this year with a younger dream team, only this time with an opt out clause after ONE YEAR so LeBron can take a pay cut to bring in another superstar if they happen to lose this year.
LeBron's likely one of the least mentally tough superstars EVER.

Grew up playing hockey (none of this p[COLOR="Black"]uss[/COLOR]y shit). Broke a few bones, but never had a cramp I couldn't handle on my own. You'd get laughed off the ice if you asked to be carried, lol. We're a different breed though.

It's a lot easier to glide off the ice on one skate to get to the bench, than it is to hop on one foot to get to the bench.

Yeah yeah yeah. I like hockey and have a lot of respect for hockey players but the whole "tough guy" routine is so played out and cliche it's frankly annoying. And BTW I've seen NHL players on MULTIPLE occasions being assisted off the ice due to cramps. In fact, hockey players were among the first pro athletes to drink tonic water during games as a method of cramp prevention/treatment. Get off your high horse dude.

How did LeBron have it easy in Miami when he lead the team during the regular season, postseason and Finals the last 3yrs, in pts, rebounds, assists and steals?
If he had it easy, does that mean Wade and Bosh had it hard??

Re: Lebron has more mental toughness than any player in history
he's 2 for 5. i think he is easily rattled and does not have over the top take over ability.

High horse? Dude implied that I've never played sports, lol. I just happen to know what real injuries feel like.
Besides, the whole world clowned on bran after crampgate. Not my fault he handled it like a big sissy.

Re: Lebron has more mental toughness than any player in history
He's been under pressure ever since he was 16 and has handled things pretty well. He's had his rough spots here and there, but he's exceeded the expectations he had when he entered the league, and that's saying something.
