I don't think you get it.The Number 8 is like MJ's 23. Changing it would be like when MJ changed his to 45, its just.....not right.

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">I don't know where you got your education, but LeBron said nothing wrong in his press conference. Sustain has multiple meanings, and depdending on the context, it can be used as another synonym for withstand, etc. Here's an english lesson for you young padawan, if he said "We WEREN'T able to sustain Detroits runs" THAT means then Detroit would have won the game.....So, um, what exactly are you crying about here?</div>

I agree with Phun that sustain was the wrong choice of words. I would look it up but I don't really feel like it, besides "We were able to sustain Detroits runs" doesn't exactly sound like the right even if it was used correctly.

Who ever said that Lebron shouldn't have used "sustain" in an explaination because it was the wrong word, was pretty ignorant....
