LeBron James is superhuman, having played in every single game for the Cleveland Cavaliers this year. James started Game 1 of the 2018 NBA Finals in good health, but soon enough found himself struggling with some pain in his left eye.
During a play in the second quarter, James was driving down the lane with Draymond Green defending. Green went up to challenge LeBron at the rim, but wound up raking The King across the face.
That resulted in a foul on Green, as well as a technical after the Warriors big man argued that he did not, in fact, hit LeBron in the face.
James could be seen wincing, and close up photos of his left eye looked pretty gross. Warning, this might be NSFL.

I’m not sure why Green was arguing, but he earned his fourth technical of the postseason. He has three more before a suspension.
James soldiered on in the game, notching yet another 40+ point effort.
