LeBron on the ankle injury that kept him out against the Pelicans: “It’s called old… You just wake up with sh*t that you didn’t have the night before.”

  1. Yeah, once you’re 23 years into your nba career, surprise injuries aren’t so surprising 

  17. Me after a 40 hour work week in boots. Ankles/Achilles feel so tender and sore when I wake up on a Saturday.

  20. He ain’t wrong. Worst is your back. Sleep wrong, cold draft, sneeze too hard and you’re done for 3 days

  23. Yeah that’s definitely what it’s like to be over 40. Just wake up and some new shit hurts.

  25. That’s what I said when he missed the start of the season with sciatica, he’s gone from having basketball injuries to just having old man injuries.

  28. LeBron seems to be having a lot of fun this year. All the expectations are on Luka instead of him. I wonder if being able to just be the 3rd or 4th option on a championship caliber team is enough to convince him to stay around longer.

  30. Nah fr at 37, having played ball almost my entire life, there are days where I haven’t balled for a week and I just wake up ankles and knees sore for no reason. I do lots of mobility work now too, it helps but some days father time just fucks with me I guess.

  40. I know we joke about it, but I feel like hes retiring after this year. Next year at the max – his drive has looked lackluster this year.
