Ball in Europe – The bombshell: A source close to the Cleveland Cavaliers who wished to remain anonymous has admitted that LeBron James should not playing with his injury in its current state. Apparently, the damage is enough that the right arm of King James – perhaps that should be “King Richard III” for the nonce – is having great difficulty in carrying anything heavier than a basketball.

If Lebron can’t carry anything heavier than a basketball, it’s no wonder he’s struggling to carry the Cavs.

But seriously, there are so many ways to rip apart this report, I don’t know where to begin.  First, there’s the whole 35, 7 and 7 in Game One thing.  Then, there’s the source of this “news report.”  Ball in Europe?  Are you fucking kidding me?  There’s a blog about European basketball that has an inside source close to Lebron James that Brian Windhorst, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reporter who has only covered Lebron since Lebron was in high school, doesn’t have?   There’s also the whole “Lebron was completely nonchalant after the Game Two loss” thing.  You’re telling me he was that confident that the one loss meant nothing, even though he can’t lift a damn medicine ball over his shoulder? That he wasn’t even a little worried, even though he can’t even carry his own goddamn gym bag at this point?

To top it off, there’s the “Lebron carried a fucking MVP trophy over his head before Game Two” thing.  Save the fake reports and elbow bullshit, and tell Lebron to try to figure out the Celtics’ defense.
