1. I think we are finally seeing the beginning of the end of arguably the greatest player in basketball history.

   And it’s only took him 23 seasons.

2. Sciatica? He’s just like me

3. Father Time remains undefeated

4. Ayton is never going to meet LeBron

5. Fun fact, sciatica occurs more frequently during the 4th decade of life and peaks at age 40.

6. Old ass man injury

7. Signs of getting old 💔

8. That’s the most old man injury possible lmao

9. DNP-Old

10. Lebron is 40, this fuckery won’t go on much longer, thank god

11. Kill me 

12. They literally had Lakers Warriors the first game of the season to try to prevent anyone missing it with an injury and it still happened anyway

13. LeBron James (old) to miss 3-4 weeks

    like what’s next? “LeBron James will miss tonight’s game with an inflammation of gout”?

14. This will break up the Giannis stuff. Thanks bron

15. I blame Hennessy

16. Relatable LeBron, welcome to your 40s

17. He’s old old

18. Sciatica usually comes from age and not from the usual wear and tear of playing sports.

19. I have sciatica on my right side too. I’m just like LeBron

20. MJ had the Wizards, LeBron’s got sciatica

21. The man is 2 months away from his 41st birthday why are we acting like his body can continue holding up like he’s 28. This was bound to happen which sucks for LA but Luka should get them through the first month of the season or so without Lebron

22. As a 28yr old who’s suffered on and off with a herniated disc for the past decade, I can *finally* relate to LeBron lol.

    Not gonna lie, this could be real bad! Ben Simmons / Steve Nash kind of fall-off. I hope he keeps being superhuman and I’m way wrong, I’m not ready for him to be washed

23. DNP-Old

24. Whenever my sciatica is acting up, I take a shot of Hennessy

25. Damn. The Decision 3 may be closer than we thought.

26. I have had to cancel plans to go to a superbowl party the day of because my sciatica. I am 34

27. The Henny Curse begins.

28. Sciatica? 

    Thats straight up an old head ailment lol.

    I think your body is telling you something, Lebron.

29. Man I’ve had sciatica before finally getting it resolved, it’s an absolute bitch to have. Feels like your leg up to your ass is basically jello while also feeling like it’s on a stick that’ll randomly shock you with a bolt of lightning. Shit sucks, hope he recovers well from it.

30. Can I sue him for the tickets I bought?

31. I had siatica from a herniated disc l5-s1 worst pain ever couldn’t walk, leg felt like fire and stabbing. Sneezing was the worst and sitting down was impossible. Took 3 months to calm down but never went away, injections took all pain away with physical therapy. It needs to heal or you can re herniate which I have done as well from trying to play basketball too soon.
