[@ziggymcdougal]

Bron’s one of my favorite players but even the 2013 spurs were 1 free throw away from winning it all. 2014 Spurs are just one of the greatest teams to ever play, and that was the best finals performance ever. Broken air conditioning didn’t cost Bron a ring, better depth, better passing, better off ball movement, better defense, and a great strategy to combat one of the best transition players to ever live did.

[@merginggold9]

Okay but they didn’t win in 2013 so why bring it up?

The spurs are not new to those types of environments. And LeBron was carrying the Heat on both sides of the ball. Of course, he will be the one to cramp.

It's not a disadvantage if all player experienced it. Lebron was just weaker then everyone else in that moment.

[@normienormie9425]

Except the fact Lebron was essentially pure muscle and the lack of water due to the heat caused cramps. Muscle carries water btw. Lack of water causes cramps. Being nearly pure muscle and losing that much water would cause pain. Not really weaker juat his physique.
