LeBron James Avoided Foot Surgery To Return To Play With Lakers

by

LeBron said that he avoided foot surgery to play with the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday by talking to “the LeBron James of feet.” Moreover, he returned to the team’s home court after a month struggling with a foot tendon injury. While their team lost to the Chicago Bulls 118-108, it still marked a good day for James and his team, as he’s finally back. After the game, he made the cheeky comment when explaining that multiple doctors advised foot surgery. However, after talking to his GOAT equivalent (according to him), he found the right rehab plan to heal and get ready to ball without a more taxing medical procedure.

Furthermore, this prompted a lot of jokes in the comments about “the LeBron James of feet” being the second-best in his field. Of course, GOAT conversations regarding Michael Jordan and LeBron are quite common, especially after the latter breaking the all-time NBA scoring record. Wherever you stand on that debate, it’s still a pretty funny soundbite from the Ohio native. What’s more is that he’ll have two full days to further recover before the Lakers play the Bulls in Chicago gain on Wednesday (March 29).

LeBron James On How He Avoided Foot Surgery

Meanwhile, the 38-year-old and the rest of the California team fights for a spot in the Western Conference for the playoffs. Not only that, but they are now in ninth behind the Minnesota Timberwolves and New Orleans Pelicans. While it’s certainly better to have LeBron on the court rather than not, Sunday’s game proved that his presence is not a guarantee of victory. Of course, had he taken alternative measures, things could’ve looked much more grim for the team. Hopefully the “LeBron James of feet” set him straight for the rest of the Lakers’ championship run.

Still, James should be commended for fighting through something much more serious than what the organization suggested. As for their next moves, the Lakers will now embark on a five-game run away from their home court. As such, there’s a lot of pressure for them to win big, and it’s pressure that the legendary player seems determined to bank on. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest on the NBA, the Los Angeles Lakers, and LeBron James.

[WATCH] Doctor Charged With Attempted Murder After Driving Family 250 Feet Off Cliff

A Pasadena radiologist was charged with attempted murder and child abuse after he drove a Tesla 250 feet off a cliff in San Mateo, CA. on Monday, Jan. 2.

According to the California Highway Patrol, Dharmesh A. Patel, 42, of Pasadena, his wife, 41, and two children – ages 4 and 7 – were inside the Tesla when the car plunged off the side of a cliff at a spot known as the Devil’s Slide.

Witnesses say the car was speeding when it veered off the highway and plunged over the cliff. CHP officials said the car made an initial impact before flipping multiple times and landing on its wheels on the rocks below.

All four occupants walked away from the wreckage. Initial reports claimed all 4 occupants were injured. But according to updated reports, the children were unharmed.

The children reportedly told CHP their father tried to kill them.

Rescue teams risked their lives descending down the steep, jagged cliff to airlift the four occupants to safety. CBS News chopper video shows the harrowing rescue from a Tesla at the bottom of a cliff just feet away from the Pacific Ocean.

Teslas have a self-driving feature and a manual option, but investigators don’t know which one was in use at the time of the crash. CHP said the driving mode “does not appear to be a contributing factor in this incident.”

The spot where the car went off the cliff has no guardrail and it is known for fatal accidents.

“We go there all the time for cars over the cliff and they never live. This was an absolute miracle,” CHP said. “CHP investigators worked throughout the night interviewing witnesses and gathering evidence from the scene. Based on the evidence collected, investigators developed probable cause to believe this incident was an intentional act,” the CHP said.

Officials believe the Tesla Model Y’s safety features and airbags may have saved the family. The sticker price of a Tesla Model Y ranges from $65,990 – $69,990.

According to DailyMail.com, the Tesla Model Y has multiple airbags: front airbags, seat-mounted side airbags, and curtain airbags, all of which appeared to have inflated upon impact.

Patel was discharged from a hospital on Wednesday and moved to the San Mateo County Jail where he is being held without bond.
