MJ vs. LeBron:

I'll save you the time... it's not close.

MJ Wins:
· Team Success
· MVPs
· FMVPs
· DPOYs
· All-Defense Awards
· Stat Titles/League Leader
· Per-Game Stats (Regular Season)
· Per-Game Stats (Playoffs)
· Game Winning/Game Tying Clutch Stats
· Better Overall Playoff Competition – Wins/Net Rating/SRS/60-win teams

LeBron Wins:
· Longevity Stats
· All-NBA
· All- Star Selections
· Fake Narratives
· Out-Of-Context Narratives
· Hypotheticals

Against my moral compass, I even included 2nd place finishes just to appease all the casuals with a loser mentality.

Both great players, but one guy was BETTER, and more DOMINANT. The other, simply played longer.

Tyler Callihan of the @Pirates is the first player in MLB history to have a multi-HR game that included:

- a HR off the reigning MVP (Ohtani)
- a go-ahead 3+ run HR in the 8th or later

He did it on the first 2 homers of his MLB career.

WWE's Cathy Kelley reveals she was recently diagnosed with autism:

“I think it’s just a different side to me (being on camera). I was recently diagnosed with autism, and I recognize that it changes a lot of the social dynamics that I have.

"So when I say introverted, I feel like it’s a little bit more than a typical person would be.”

What a feeling it is to have a lineup that doesn't depend on one guy -

O'Hearn, Lowe, Cruz, Horwitz, Griffin, even guys like Gonzales who is elite with RISP

Just..when was the last time we had this? Truly?

When healthy, this is a deep, powerful lineup

[Fastbreak Hoops @FastbreakHoops5]

After Jeff Van Gundy called MJ a “con man,” Jordan responded by scoring 51 on 60% shooting.
