Aww poor wittle bwon bwon

CHICAGO -- LeBron James won't just be battling the Chicago Bulls' strong defense and raucous crowd for Wednesday night's Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals.

James said this morning after the Miami Heat's shootaround that he's been stuffed up the past three days with a head cold that has been draining him. He said he's been treating it as best he can with medication and extra rest.

"I'm taking everything you can get it from 7-Eleven," James said. "I've been sick since we got here."

James struggled in the Heat's Game 1 loss to the Bulls, scoring just 15 points on 5-of-15 shooting. James did not blame his performance on the illness and has been able to get through all of the Heat's practices and workouts over the last few days.

Thats what I was trying to figure out... Remember Rose had a head cold vs Indi and he was like "I'm Fine" and that was it.. There was no "oh its draining me blah blah wah wah STFU!

That's the point I was going to make. When Jordan had the flu, he scored 55...Lebron has a head cold and that's the reason he didn't play well? I hope we bury this team now.

All Jordan/LeBron comparisons can now die.

When Jordan had the flu, he scored 38, not 55.

Maybe that one time, remembered as the flu game now, but before that game, Jordan had another flu game, and a few cold games, and diarrhea game...

Jordan's mind > Immune system

It is said that if Jordan had AIDs, he would have put in Wilt-like numbers in the modern NBA. That his will alone, cured Magic Johnson.

my fault...the double nickel game must've been his first game back or something...55 stands out. Regardless, he was better than leblame ever will be.

The 55 game was I think in his third game vs. New York at MSG.

Two years before the Flu Game.
