LeBron Proved He Isn’t A Cyborg After Bloodying His Face In Game 6

The first half of Game 6 did not go well for the Cleveland Cavaliers, as LeBron James and company entered halftime in a 10-point hole after allowing Victor Oladipo and the Indiana Pacers to score virtually at will. In an odd twist, one play may have encapsulated what transpired, as James, who many believe may not be fully human given his incredible level of play and physical prowess, collided with Pacers forward Thaddeus Young and began bleeding from the face.

On cue, the basketball world erupted at the sign of the very rare occurrence.

It should be noted that James played 19 minutes and, in typical fashion, was easily the best player for the Cavs in the first half. The best player in the universe scored 14 points (on only seven shots) while dishing out five assists, and even after the blood was pouring from his face, James displayed no signs of actually slowing down on the floor.

Still, it was wild to simply see something physically wrong with James, and there were plenty of reactions to the sight of blood.

Because the Cavs would return home for Game 7 in the event of a loss, there isn’t quite as much pressure on Cleveland in the second half as it may appear. Still, there is a story line within a story line during Game 6, and it stems from LeBron James physically bleeding.
