Elbow is probably more painful, but one eye is definitely harder to play through.

Nash took an accidental bow to the eye from Duncan as Timmy was driving to the rim.

Lebron has a bruise on his elbow, it's not a factor.

Nash is a beast! I was watching the game with one eye for awhile to see how it affects one's vision and it's pretty remarkable that he was able to adjust so easily to playing with one eye as the PG.

I haven't seen any reports defining something being wrong with the elbow. I have read he's had two MRIs with a third being scheduled and each found nothing yet. Am I missing something?

For some reason, it was much worse in games 2 and 4 than it was in games 1 and 3 :rolleyes:

You could take both of Lebron's eyes and his elbow and he'd still be 10x the player Nash is.

The media falsely reported on a lot of LeBron's elbow news--like I said all along, they went ape shit with it and wayyyy overboard. And then deflected all the heat onto LeBron, it was bullshit.

But unless you've ever had a severely bruised elbow, then don't say it's nothing because you're making yourself sound like a dumbass. We're not talking about a black and blue spot where you hit your arm on your car door here.

LeBron described the feeling as being similar to hitting your funny bone, indicating that there's at least some nerve irritation.

I've actually played with both injuries. Actually, scratch that. I went through a week of football with my eye swollen shut, but I couldn't do anything with a damaged nerve in my arm.

I know what you're saying. I got hit by an 80+ MPH pitch in the elbow once, had some nerve irritation and bruising. I literally couldn't do shit with my arm for a week. I know LeBron's isn't as bad as mine was, because it's not about being "tough", you couldn't play if it was bad enough. But I don't doubt that it hurts pretty bad. Mine lingered for a few weeks. But you can play through pain. To do what Nash does (see the floor, shot jumpers) to only have one eye is way tougher. Not only does it cut half your vision off, but it screws with your depth perception too.
