The 2015 NBA Finals have been nothing short of spectacular. With two games going to overtime and a third coming down to the final minute, this series has been exhausting to watch. And if you and I are tired from watching, it’s no surprise that it’s been even more tiring for the players involved.
After Cavs guard (and Cleveland hero) Matthew Dellavedova went to the hospital for extreme cramping following Game 3, the team announced that star LeBron James also experienced cramping following Game 2. According to Chris Haynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Bron had to get an IV following the Cavs road win.
Clarity, #Cavs say LeBron James had IV treatment after Game 2 in Oakland.

Flashbacks to Game 1 of the 2014 NBA Finals anyone?
It doesn’t come as much of a surprise that carrying an entire team on your back for 47+ minutes per game would take a toll on a players body, even if that player may or may not be a cyborg. It will be interesting to see if Bron can keep up his extremely high-level of play under these conditions as the series wears on.
