ELBOW-GATE

Prince James has stirred a body part fascination among NBA fans around the world known as "Elbow-gate." The most talked about elbow in the history of professional sports has created a fanaticism among his admirers and haters. His right elbow even has it's own Twitter account: http://www.twitter.com/lebronselbow. The first signs of the injury occurred towards the end of game 5 against the Chicago Bulls in their first round series. The official diagnosis of the elbow after an MRI is a tendon strain and bone bruise. Despite that, the mystery of the nature of his elbow has been the topic of headlines. No one really knows what's going on with it. He put on a marvelous performance against the Boston Celtics in Game 1 of their 2nd round series but came back looking lethargic against them in Game 2. He answered all questions about the elbow in game 3 when he put on a master performance. The talks of the elbow are calming down but the type of hysteria this caused has been a study of stupidity.
