In a playoff game. This was during an era fights and physical play were common.
"The doctors taped a plate on it for the playoffs," Mikan told Newsday in 1990. "I played all right, scored in the 20s. I couldn't run, sort of hopped down the court."

Not to stand up for LeCramp but pure pain situations aren't exactly the same thing as what Lebron went through.
Obviously very different, but I've had the experience of being in the middle of doing physical things when extremely gout flare attacks happen.
You can't really "grit yer teeth" and get through it. It is just a totally different response as it basically paralyzes you.

"His size, his history of personal fouls (he led the league three times), his 10 broken bones and 166 stitches during his career caused some to call him a rough player. He was certainly a tough player, powering through the 1950 playoffs with a broken wrist and the 1951 playoffs with a fractured leg."

And a daily reminder, when your leg muscles completely lock up, you can't move.

George Mikan = Top 10 GOAT

His leg muscles didn't completely lock up. If they had, he would have fallen over.
